Will Lou and Alex Wong discuss their (mostly) successful poker night on Saturday before diving into the two Game 7s on the weekend, starting with Boston's dominant performance over Milwaukee, and the larger question of what role small guards can play on contending teams and what Fred VanVleet's ideal role is on the Raptors (00:39). In the second segment, Will and Alex sort through Phoenix's embarrassing Game 7 performance, Patrick Beverley's ESPN revenge tour, and make their conference finals picks (30:50). Watch on YouTube! The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In Episode 1176, Sean Woodley is joined by Crina Mustafa (The Parleh) to review the 2021-22 season of Toronto Raptors All-Star point guard Fred VanVleet. Off the top, they dig into VanVleet ascension to All-Star status, and the improvements in his mid-range, at-the-rim and overall floor game that helped get him there as the clear best player on the Raptors during the early parts of the season. Next, Sean and Crina discuss the nagging knee and hip injuries that kept Fred from being anywhere close to 100% after the All-Star break, the statistical drop-off he experienced, and whether injuries were fully to blame for his diminished play after the February break. Plus, they dig into how the Raptors to work to prevent similar issues from popping up for VanVleet going into next season. Lastly, Sean and Crina run through their favourite FVV stats and plays of the year before looking ahead to 2022-23. Will VanVleet repeat as an All-Star? Or could a less front-facing role within the offense actually help the Raptors improve, even if it cuts into his All-Star level production? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In Episode 1170, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to kick off this year's Season In Review series of episodes with a look at the big picture takeaways from a successful 2021-22 Toronto Raptors season. Off the top, they dig into the biggest positive takeaways from the season that was, including the realization that Vision 6'9 seems like a viable team-building model, even if some tinkering probably needs to be done with the roster to ensure the Raptors have more than one note to hit when things matter most. Next, they talk about some of the negative takeaways from the season that should inform the Raptors' off-season decision-making, including the glaring lack of depth in the middle and back parts of the roster and the need for extra shooting in the mix, in addition to Fred VanVleet's health and the ways the Raptors can go about protecting him from breaking down in future seasons. Then to close out the show, Sean and Vivek introduce the Stat of the Year and Play of the Year segments that will run through the Season in Review series. In the Stat of the Year portion, Sean and Vivek talk about the Raptors; record against teams over .500, as well as the curious +0.5 NET Rating for the Raptors most talented and most-used lineup.

In Episode 1169, Sean Woodley goes solo from Scotiabank Arena following the Toronto Raptors' Game 6 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6 of their first round NBA playoff series. Off the top, Sean digs into how James Harden's excellent performance forced the Raptors to alter their game plan, and ultimately led to Toronto losing the formula that saw the Raptors take control of the series between Games 3 and 5. The Raptors also badly missed Fred VanVleet and his two-man game with Pascal Siakam, and Sean digs into how the lack of dependable shooting on the floor ultimately made the math untenable for Nick Nurse's squad. Next, Sean runs through his game notes on each of the Raptors regulars who played in Game 6, and examines both their Game 6 efforts as well as their season-long accomplishments. Lastly, Sean takes questions from the live stream viewers, and puts a cap on what was an awesome Raptors season, despite the lopsided end result. Learn more about your ad choices.

Next, they chat about Joel Embiid's thumb injury, the ways in which it's affecting some of his bread and butter offensive sets, and whether the Sixers can do anything to get him in position to score more easily than they have throughout the series. Plus, is Tyrese Maxey's impact on the series doomed to be limited as long as Fred VanVleet is sidelined and the Raptors are married to playing huge lineups? Lastly, they discuss whether the Sixers might change up their defensive coverages on Pascal Siakam, and what looks might be worth trying to slow down Toronto's offensive hub. Plus, Sean asks Jackson about the level of belief in Doc Rivers to turn the series around on the heels of his defensive comments on Wednesday, as well as whether his outlook on the Sixers upside has been changed throughout the course of this series.

In Episode 1167, Sean Woodley goes solo to field a bunch of listener questions about the Toronto Raptors' first round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Off the top, Sean digs into whether the two off days will benefit the Raptors, or if the Sixers might stand to gain more of an advantage as it gives Joel Embiid another day to rest his injured thumb. Next, Sean discusses which player or adjustment has most altered the series, with the decision to dare James Harden to score against single coverage probably serving as the biggest move by either coach in the series so far to date. Next, Sean discusses Fred VanVleet, whether he should be rushed back in this series of if he's better preserved for a potential second round date with the Miami Heat -- a team that he figures to have much more success against than he's having in a diminished state against the 76ers. Plus, do the Raptors need to find him a true backup next season in the interest of keeping him fresh into the post-season? To close the show, Sean discusses whether Pascal Siakam is playoff-proof as a player, as well as whether Precious Achiuwa is the best defender on either team in this series.

What a week!  From 3-0 to 3-2 and a fighting chance. We look at games 3-5, the broad strokes and the standouts, who is winning the battle of the coaches, and of course give kudos to the freshly minted ROTY. Yes, we are all up in our feels. Raptors fans may need therapy, but what about the Philly fans booing their own team and leaving before the end of a playoff game? We got thoughts. And no self-respecting podcast would be complete without acknowledging Boston's sweep of the Nets so we indulge in mockery and slander. Higher ambitions indeed. Join us! Canada's first all women podcast covering the Toronto Raptors.

In the second hour of Game Play, Matt Cauz talks to Covers.com senior betting analyst Andrew Caley about the repercussions for bettors who risked plays on the Nets and some of the lines for Game 5 between the Raptors and 76ers. Then Matt is joined by TSN Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg to discuss the Raptors having to play without Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes' return to the lineup.

In Episode 1165, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to preview Game 5 of the Toronto Raptors first round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss Fred VanVleet, who is questionable to play on Monday, and whether the Raptors can win Game 5 if he's unavailable. Is there a chance the Raptors might be more equipped to survive against the Sixers without Fred than they would be against most other opponents? And can Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. repeat their on-ball efforts from the Game 4 win? Next, they talk about whether there are any more adjustments to be made by either coach in this series, or if the Raptors' altered coverages on James Harden, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have more or less set the terms for the rest of the series, leaving things mostly up top execution as the determining factor. Lastly, the peer into their crystal balls and try to predict the outcome of Game 5, before taking a moment to talk about Scottie Barnes' Rookie of the Year win and why it was so well-deserved.

Will Lou breaks down the Raptors 110-102 win over the Sixers and touches on Pascal Siakam answering the challenge in Game 4, Scottie Barnes' return and him winning Rookie of the Year, Fred VanVleet's hip injury, and how the Raptors can continue to extend the series with their 6-foot-9 forwards. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In Episode 1163, Sean Woodley is joined by Rohan Nadkarni (SI.com, Open Floor) to talk about what we've learned about the Toronto Raptors over the course of the 2021-22 season, and in their three playoff losses to the Philadelphia 76ers. Off the top, Sean picks Rohan's brain on the Raptors' team building concept and whether it seems like a viable way for the Raptors to play going forward. Do they need to find a center for matchups like the one with Joel Embiid? Is that even a problem for the team to really worry about considering where they sit on their win curve right now? And is Precious Achiuwa perhaps the answer to the Raptors center issues staring them directly in the face? Next, they dig into Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, the heat they've taken for their playoff performances so far against the Sixers, and why they still are very obviously key ingredients to this Raptors team next year and beyond. Lastly, they talk about the hypothetical scenario in which one of Rudy Gobert or Donovan Mitchell becomes available once the Utah Jazz flame out. Could Gobert alter the way the Raptors play defense while also elevating the half court offense? And is Mitchell too porous a defender to really fit the Raptors system? All that, plus some thoughts on Kyle Lowry's Miami Heat heading into a likely date with the Sixers in the second round. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Today on The Ave Podcast, I'm joined by HC of UPLAY AAU program & Founder of Skills Refinement Group O'Neil Kamaka & SSA Family Member Big Brotha Curtis as we dive into our Game 3 Reactions of the Raptors-Sixers series; the Joel Embiid takeover, detail the struggles of Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet; how Embiid & Nikola Jokic are revolutionizing the Big Man resurgence; plus break down Kevin Durant's struggles vs Boston; and Joel Embiid (I mentioned Joel Embiid, right?).

In Episode 1162, Sean Woodley goes solo live from Scotiabank Arena moments after the Toronto Raptors lost a heartbreaker to Joel Embiid's Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of their first round playoff series. Off the top, Sean digs into the inevitabiltiy that comes with a star player as great as Embiid, the breakdown on the final defensive possession, and how that miscue undercut what was a really excellent defensive performance by the Raptors from start to finish, as they forced 22 turnovers and dared Embiid to beat them with tough shot making -- and he did. Sean also addresses how the offense dried up in the second half as the Sixers rolled out some heavy zone. Next, Sean runs through his notes on OG Anunoby, who was incredible, Precious Achiuwa, who had the game of his life before missing a pair of critical late-game free throws that could have sealed the win, Pascal Siakam, whose excellent defense gave way to a poor offensive showing and 0 second half points, and Fred VanVleet, who looks very, very tired. Please stop being dumb about Pascal Siakam. Please learn from very recent history, my god. Lastly, Sean fields some future-thinking questions from viewers of the live stream, and reflects on how the loss in Game 3, while heartbreaking, is a far cry from some of the other recent heartbreaks, and is actually kind of a necessary blow for a young team to suffer early in its trajectory.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague live as they take on as many questions as they can in this one-hour live show! Following the New Orleans Pelicans' playoff berth, the Portland Trail Blazers lost a second lottery pick heading into the 2022 NBA Draft and the 2022 offseason “Great Reshaping” of the Blazers roster. Without that additional lottery pick, where do they go? Could a deal still be done for Jerami Grant? Could the Blazers cobble together enough with the 2025 Bucks 1st round pick, a young player and Eric Bledsoe's contract to get Grant or a player at least within range of him in contribution department? Interim GM Joe Cronin has said that they would evaluate the value of their own lottery pick after they know its standing versus what they could use it for on the open market to acquire a player for. Obviously Grant's name has been out there — but what about a player such as OG Anunoby shaking free in Toronto? Would a Top 6-7 lottery pick be enough to convince GM Masai Ujiri to let him go? Toronto has a core of Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr, Scottie Barnes, and Pascal Siakam alongside Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa. However, Toronto has wanted to add traditional size to their roster. There were rumors around the Portland Trail Blazers and Jusuf Nurkic multiple times over the past year. With Anunoby another player represented by Klutch Sports, could there perhaps be an alliance brewing with the mega-agency?

In Episode 1161, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 112-97 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their first round NBA playoff series on Monday night. Off the top, Sean digs into how the Raptors' shorthandedness in Game 2 bled into all the other areas of the game, leaving them unable to keep pace for 48 minutes despite a promising start and a torrid first quarter from Fred VanVleet. Next, Sean examines some of the positives from the game, including the turnovers they forced Joel Embiid to commit, the super-efficient scoring of OG Anunoby, the defensive promise displayed by Precious Achiuwa, and the work Chris Boucher did in 30 inspired minutes off the bench. Lastly, Sean takes a big picture view of where this team sits with the series headed back to Toronto with health very much not on its side, and compares this year's version of the team to a recent edition of the Toronto Blue Jays in the hopes of offering some perspective amid the bad vibes of a tough start to the series.

On today's episode, we discuss the arch of the Toronto Raptors in the 3 years post-Kawhi Leonard, and how interesting they've gone about replacing Kawhi's production. We also discuss why in the modern NBA Salary Cap, the Raptors can only be so good without a player as good as Joel Embiid or Kawhi Leonard. I also laugh at the people who tried to convince me that a team with Fred Vanvleet and 7 Precious Achiuwa's could win vs Joel Embiid and James Harden. Also, how Luka Doncic is playing as good as LeBron James and Kevin Durant were at 22 and 23 years old, and how it sucks that injuries and poor roster construction by Dallas have sapped him of 2 deep playoff runs, and a budding rivalry with the Phoenix Suns. Also, how funny it is that Utah is basically giving the Mavericks a chance to steal this series from them.

76ers-Raptors Series Preview: Revenge Sanjay George and Hunter Doyle talk about the various aspects of the upcoming series between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors. They discuss Toronto's rebounding and transition scoring, Fred VanVleet's struggles since his injuries, expectations for James Harden, and finish with their series predictions. 0:46 Don't let Toronto hang around 2:26 Toronto's playstyle 4:12 Starting lineup overview: Toronto 8:18 Matchups 15:17 Doc Rivers vs Nick Nurse 22:09 Keys to the Series 32:07 Series Prediction

In Episode 1157, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to break down the key storylines to watch in the Toront Raptors' series with the Philadelpihia 76ers. Off the top, they talk about James Harden and how his play could be the biggest swing factor in the series. Does he even have a chance of being the second-best player in the series ahead of Pascal Siakam? Or is Siakam clearly in another class right now? If Harden is cooked, this could be a tough series for Philly. Next, they talk about three-point shooting, which seems to hold outsized importance for a Raptors team with a whole lot of variability in that department. In particular, can the bench options of Thad Young, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher connect on their long range shots? And should Raptors fans even feel totally confident in their "knock down" guys like Gary Trent Jr., Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby? Lastly, they talk about how Achiuwa could be the single most important swing player in the series, why he should close games, and whether the Raptors should reorient their starting five to prevent themselves from bleeding points early in games?

TSN 1050 Raptors Hot Nikki Reyes joins Game Play to break down the team's season and look ahead to their first-round matchup against the 76ers. Reyes shares her thoughts on the pressure facing the 76ers as they enter their series against the Raptors, why it will be crucial for the Raptors to win the minutes where Joel Embiid is on the bench for the 76ers, why the 5-day break for the Raptors could provide valuable recovery time for Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby, how Embiid's durability could be tested if he's forced to play extended minutes during the series, Steph Curry's availability for Saturday's game against the Nuggets as he deals with an ongoing ankle injury, and more.

The Philadelphia Sixers fell to 49-31 last night after dropping one to the Toronto Raptors, who were down Fred VanVleet & OG Anunoby. This was another concerning loss for the Sixers, who will now likely be facing this Raptors team in the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs. Today, we provide our thoughts on last night's game, a potential series between these two, & much more! #Sixers #JamesHarden #JoelEmbiid #DocRivers #SixersNews #NBA #NBANews #Raptors Philly Take with RB Merch Store: https://philly-take-with-rb.creator-spring.com/ Subscribe to Philly Take with RB on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ6xo8_BSzZJVYfWEqEt1Gw INSTA: https://www.instagram.com/rbphillytake/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/RBPhillyTake

Will Lou and Alex Wong inexplicably start their third straight show this week by talking about the Orlando Magic before diving into what Toronto's playoff-clinching victory over Atlanta means for the franchise (1:19). They reminisce about the greatest (and worst) moments of the Tampa era (20:34) before making the case for why the Raptors are one of the model NBA franchises of the past decade (32:59). In the second hour, they are first joined by Sportsnet's Amy Audibert to talk about Fred VanVleet's health status for the remainder of the regular season (51:06) and then by Vivek Jacob of Raptors.com to chat about potential first round opponents and why Pascal Siakam is still being disrespected (1:13:14).Watch on YouTube.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

In Episode 1152, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to talk through the potential range of outcomes for the Toronto Raptors in this year's postseason. Off the top, Sean and Vivek talk about the best case scenario for the team in the playoffs. Could they sneak into a surprise Eastern Conference Finals? There's an outside chance, but the bracket would have to line up exactly right for it to be within realistic reach. Next, they talk about the most likely outcome, which is a hard-fought first round exit at the hands of one of the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers or Milwaukee Bucks. To wrap, Sean and Vivek examine what the worst case scenario would be, which likely involves an ugly sweep at the hands of a potentially beatable opponent. How do Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet factor into that potential outcome? Would any scenario render this season an overall failure? Or are the Raptors playing with house money no matter what?

This week, BetPrep's Player Prop Guru Brad Feinberg discusses his top NBA player props for April 5-6, 2022 with host and BetPrep Editor Michael Salfino of The Athletic and FiveThirtyEight. Player props include Fred VanVleet, Rudy Gobert, Nikola Vucevic, and Killian Hayes

Hour 3 as we wrap up a Monday on OverDrive with Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill & Jamie McLennan as the guys are joined by TSN Golf Analyst Bob Weeks from Augusta to preview this week's Masters Tournament. As well we revisit our conversation with Fred VanVleet and look ahead to the Leafs matchup versus the Lightning tonight!

Toronto Raptors Guard Fred VanVleet joined OverDrive earlier today following the return of his friend and mentor Kyle Lowry to Toronto last night. He touched on the game, his impressive All-Star season, the growth of his defensive game & what teams can expect when facing the Raptors in the playoffs.

An unforgettable night for Kyle Lowry, Masai Ujiri, Fred VanVleet and the Toronto Raptors franchise featured several highlights. Amit Mann and Manny Rao discuss their favourite seven in honour of the greatest Raptor of all-time. Also on the podcast: A look at the final four games and if Toronto can overtake Chicago for 5thOG Anunoby's injury, Fred VanVleet looking bouncierGary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes in the playoffs See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In Episode 1151, Sean Woodley goes solo from inside Scotiabank Arena followiing the Toronto Raptors' 114-109 loss to the Miami Heat on the night of Kyle Lowry's emotional return to Toronto. Off the top, Sean digs into his biggest takeaway from the game, which had to do with OG Anunoby's absence, and the ripple effects felt across the roster all night as a result. Next, Sean examines some really strong efforts from Pascal Siakam (29-8-5), Fred VanVleet (29-2-7-3) and Scottie Barnes (19-7-2-2) and the ways in which the rest of the roster failed to prop up the team's stars on Sunday. Lastly, Sean hands out a special Dude of the Game to Kyle Lowry, who received a hero's welcome on Sunday, just the way it should be when a franchise icon comes back home. Sean also closes things out by reassessing the Eastern Conference playoff picture after a busy weekend. Home court in the first round might be out of the question, but it seems like the Raptors are comfortable clear of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the play-in zone. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In Episode 1150, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) sort through the many feelings and emotions at hand before the greatest Toronto Raptors player of all time, Kyle Lowry, returns to the city for the first time since signing with the Miami Heat over the weekend. Off the top, Sean and Katie do their best to sum up Lowry's return in a single word, and discuss how uncommon it is for a star player and franchise legend to part ways with his team on terms as great as Lowry and the Raptors seem to be on. Next, they talk about the clips they hope to see utilized in the Lowry video tribute, proper fan decorum for the evening, and the dynamics that will be at play when master takes on his apprentices in Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam. Lastly, they take a look at the game itself and try to nail down what to expect in what will be a game with plenty of playoff implications in addition to its emotional ones.

In Episode 1149, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 125-102 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Off the top, Sean digs into how the Raptors found their ideal formula against Minnesota -- a formula that will be the key if they want to pull an upset over one of the Sixers, Bucks, Heat or Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Pascal Siakam, as usual, was the engine that powered Toronto's 102-62 run to close the game, compiling a 12-point, 10-rebound, 13-assist triple-double, and setting up a whole lot of threes from OG Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr. and Precious Achiuwa. Next, Sean examines the weirdness going on with the Raptors' starting five, and what prompted Nick Nurse's decision to break it up going into the second half of last night's game. To close out the show, Fred VanVleet earns Dude of the Game honours for his impeccable defensive effort start to finish. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
