In Episode 1622, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) to chat about the very worst elements of the Toronto Raptors' disastrous 2023-24 season to continue their three-part look at The Good, The Bad and The Hmmmm from the year that was. Off the top, Sean has a little meltdown on the heels of Pascal Siakam's masterful 37-11-6 performance against the Milwaukee Bucks and revisits the trade of Siakam to the Pacers, which was bad for a great many reasons. Next, Sean and Katie dig into the cloud of uncertainty that hung over the team for much of this season, and the many ripple effects of yet another year beginning with indecision and a lack of direction. Lastly, Sean and Katie run through some other bad elements of this season, including ill-timed injuries, poor performance from fringey wings, the handling of Chris Boucher, and a total no-show in the In-Season Tournament. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/Qg8JdCxVSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

In Episode 1617, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about some of the good things that came out of a mostly troublesome Toronto Raptors season. Off the top, they chat about Scottie Barnes' monumental leap on the court, as well as the important strides he took as a leader off the court, and why his 22 missed games at the end of the season seem to have provided him a great opportunity to grasp the full responsibility of being the number one guy on a team. Next, they discuss the transformative O.G. Anunoby for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley and how that moved single-handedly helped accelerate the build around Scottie Barnes. Plus, thoughts on the team's incremental growth throughout the year, Darko Rajakovic looking like a good one, Garrett Temple's impact, Bruce Brown's fashion sense, and much more! Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/mbr3F9CgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1607, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 128-111 loss to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers which featured dazzling returns to the lineup by RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about how nice it was to have Quickley and Barrett's dynamism back in the lineup, how they should help the Raptors pick up at least a win or two down the stretch to avoid a 21-game losing streak to end the season, and how those two guys are key reasons why next season should mark a significant step forward for the Raptors. Next, they chat about the vibes of the team not at all matching the 14-game losing streak and overall dourness of the season, with Darko Rajakovic' coaching staff and vets like Garrett Temple deserving a ton of credit for keeping the mood light and positive despite all of the bad stuff that's gone on this season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Barrett & IQ, Barrett's enormous second half dunk), The Bad (The Raptors squandering what felt like a winnable game, the lack of ideas on defense) and The Hmmmm (Mo-G as a nickname for Mouhamdou Gueye, Gradey Dick's propensity for getting to the rim) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/MPT9gRu5Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1594, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings, DIME) to break down the Toronto Raptors narrow loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets before taking a look at the ways in which the Raptors have reconnected with their roots as a development-first franchise. Off the top, they chat about Gradey Dick and RJ Barrett's big nights against the Nuggets, and why the blown second half lead isn't really much to get upset or excited about. Next, they dig into the ways in which the Raptors have gotten back to their developmental ways this season, and how the fractured natured of this year's team has helped guys progress in unexpected ways. Lastly, Sean and Katie discuss how the individual strides made this season can be parlayed into cohesive team success in 2024-25 and discuss the single individual skill improvement on the team that could most unlock them next year. Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/884S6G8WSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1585, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to play a round of everyone's favourite Toronto Raptors parlour game: What's More Likely?!, with questions about Scottie Barnes' shooting, Gradey Dick's job in 2024-25  and the Raptors' push for the NBA Play-in Tournament. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about whether it's more likely that Barnes shoots better than 38% from three for the rest of the season, or worse than 25%. Next, they discuss whether it's more likely that Gradey Dick starts every game in his second season, or comes off the bench for the entire season.  Lastly, they look at whether a run through the Play-in and into the NBA Playoffs is  more likely for the Raptors than falling back down in the bottom-6 of the NBA standings. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/ZtkQ34YMSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONGrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish.

In Episode 1581, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) fresh off her trip to Indianapolis for All-Star Weekend to answer listener questions about your Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about All-Star Weekend, whether it can or should be fixed in any way, and why we should all probably adjust our expectations for an event that doesn't carry the same weight as it did in the past for a bunch of pretty understandable reasons. Next, they chat about whether Pascal Siakam will get his #43 retired by the Toronto Raptors, Vince Carter and Kyle Lowry's own number retirement cases and more. Plus, which three Raptors games should time-strapped fans prioritize down the stretch? To wrap, Sean and Katie answer questions about Immanuel Quickley and what they'd like to see from him down the stretch, RJ Barrett's puzzlingly poor defense, and whether Sean will ever hit the end-of-podcast over-the-shoulder shot that he so far as been skunked on.Get your mailbag questions answered on future episodes by submitting theme in the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/dPmjPe52Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish. With one click, you can easily and easily brainstorm, rewrite, and reply with suggestions based on your context and goals. Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for FREE today. NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level. Take the Nissan Rogue, Nissan Pathfinder, or Nissan Armada and go find your next big adventure.

In Episode 1570, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about Scottie Barnes being named an NBA All-Star injury replacement alongside Trae Young, the adjustment to rooting for a team that isn't winning basketball games, and their final predictions ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline. Off the top, Sean and Katie react to Barnes earning his first All-Star nod, their favourite elements of his All-Star leap season, and what they're looking for out of Scottie down the stretch of the season. Next, 50 games into the season, this feels like it's been a barren year as far as things to get excited about in Toronto. Has this been a lost season from the fan perspective? Sean and Katie discuss, while digging into the adjustment of expectations and motivations that has to happen when you go from rooting for a competitive team to a retooling one, and what excites them about what lies ahead over the final 32 games once the Trade Deadline dust settles. Plus, what are their predictions ahead of the deadline? Will Bruce Brown get moved? What about Chris Boucher, Dennis Schroder, Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr.?

In Episode 1567, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl chat about a handful of Toronto Raptors related topics, including the retirement of championship team member and fan favourite Marc Gasol, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl inching towards their returns, and Scottie Barnes not making the Eastern Conference All-Star team as a reserve. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about Gasol, what he meant to the Raptors during his brief time in Toronto, and what made him such an admirable NBA star. Next, Sean and Katie chat about the approaching returns of Quickley and Poeltl after both practiced in full yesterday, and the downstream effects their returns should bring to the team as it continues to look for its new shape after a month of upheaval. Lastly, Sean and Katie chat about whether Scottie Barnes was fairly left off the East's All-Star roster, or whether there were guys who made the team who Scottie was more deserving than. All that, plus a brief aside on Bruce Brown and whether he's soon to be traded. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord! https://discord.gg/upe4ya3U Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

William Lou and Blake Murphy discuss how Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and Thaddeus Young contributed to the win vs. the Bulls. Tim Bontemps joins the show to provide the latest on Joel Embiid's injury and what the Raptors could receive in a Bruce Brown trade package (30:05). Also, Katie Heindl brings her perspective on patience within a rebuild and Marc Gasol's memories as the big man announced his retirement from basketball (50:14).  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 1563, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings, DIME) for a little check up on their feelings in the wake of a few weeks of massive change for the Toronto Raptors, with O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam both being traded away, and the final ties to the title era Raptors gone from the team. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about how they're feeling about the Siakam trade with a week of distance to think about it, and why the departure of the franchise icon is such a pivotal moment not just for Sean and Katie, but surely for wide swaths of the Raptors fan base as well. Next, they dig into the new era the team has moved into, the process of reestablishing and emotional attachment to a new version of the squad, and the process of picking out new Favourite Guys. Lastly, they chat about Bruce Brown's future, and get sad about Kyle Lowry getting send to basketball hell in Charlotte.Join us on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/bfNpqjJ7Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GrammarlyWhen it comes to writing, Grammarly is there to support you from start to finish. With one click, you can easily and easily brainstorm, rewrite, and reply with suggestions based on your context and goals. Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for FREE today. HungryrootHungryroot is the easiest way to get fresh, high-quality food delivered to your door.

 Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Katie Heindl to discuss Darko's infamous rant after the Lakers game. How did people respond and what does that do for the team's moral.

In Episode 1547, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to reflect upon the Toronto Raptors career of the recently traded O.G. Anunoby with a draft of his best moments from his seven-plus seasons in Toronto. Off the top, Sean gets Katie's first blush takeaways on the trade that sent O.G. to the New York Knicks along with Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn in exchange for Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett and a second-round pick. Next, they dive head first into the draft. It's a pretty loaded board, with O.G.'s incredible game-winning miracle buzzer-beater in Game 3 against the Boston Celtics in The Bubble, "What About Scarves," some incredible individual efforts from his time throughout his career with the Raptors, a scuffle with a future teammate, and so much more from a player who was extremely cool, very funny, and uniquely devastating on the defensive end of the floor.

In Episode 1538, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about ascending Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes, who has been by far the biggest bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming 11-15 Toronto Raptors start to the season. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about what's most stood out to them about Scottie's ongoing leap and what parts of his game have been the most entertaining to watch and track in the season's early going. Next, they dig into the Raptors teammates of his that they've had the most fun watching him work with on the floor, with some thoughts on his play alongside O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Pascal Siakam. Lastly, they project ahead and chat about the types of players they'd like to see the Raptors seek to pair with Scottie for the long haul, and chat about why Scottie's play so far this year has helped to salvage the entertainment value of this year's version of the team.

In Episode 1534, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about Pascal Siakam's future on the heels of Michael Grange's latest over at Sportsnet before answering a couple of listener questions about the current state of the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about Grange's report about Siakam's future and the possibility that the Raptors could look to extend him sooner than later if they don't think a fair return is out there for him ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline. Is that a good idea? Or would it be more of the same from a front office that could be excused of kicking the can down the road a little too liberally? Next, Sean and Katie dig into a listener question about whether the Raptors are running the risk of wasting Scottie Barnes' talent if they cash in their best players for middling returns. Lastly, they address a question about whether the Raptors' experience with Kyle Lowry a decade ago informs their current, patient approach to managing their core players.Come join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord!

In Episode 1529, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about what's at stake for the Toronto Raptors as the second quarter of their schedule gets rolling tonight against Kyle Lowry and the Miami Heat. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about why these next 20 or so games are so important for a team that feels different in tone, but is very similar in record to the 2022-23 team that fell short of expectations. Ultimately, this mostly comes down to the decisions on Pascal Siakam and O.G. Anunoby's futures and how they fit in with the burgeoning Scottie Barnes era of the franchise, and with the hard deadline imposed by their expiring serving as something of a deadline to decided with one, both or neither of them are part of the long term vision. Next, they dig into why Precious Achiuwa and Pascal Siakam are two players they've got their eyes fixed on during this upcoming stretch, with Precious still fighting to carve out a steady role with more reliable night-to-night play, and Siakam looking to bust out of a prolonged shooting slump that the Raptors badly need to course-correct. Lastly, they chat about the slipping defense and the ever-so-incrementally improved offense, as well as how Gary Trent Jr.'s individual play and fit within the team construct are both key things to watch between now and the halfway point as well.Come hang out in the Locked On Raptors Discord! https://discord.gg/EuA3CfJTSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Imman Adan and Katie Heindl discuss the win vs. the Suns, the change in atmosphere around the team and Darko Rajakovic's impact on creating culture. Also, their thoughts on the in-season tournament. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Episode 1524, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about the Toronto Raptors dropping their final In-Season Tournament game to the Brooklyn Nets 115-103 on Tuesday night. Off the top, they chat about a really poor performance from a starting unit that the Raptors simply can't afford to get poor performances from, and dig into how the Nets defense felt specifically designed to prevent the Raptors from getting to the spots they need to get to. Next, they chat about the Raptors' defensive slippage of late, especially in transition, and how the defense came entirely unspooled in the late going against Brooklyn when they went to Scottie Barnes at the five in the final four minutes. Plus, some Napoleon talk? Lastly, they dig into The Good (OG Anunoby's game-ending three, Chris Boucher's performance in not enough minutes), the Bad (washing out of the In-Season Tournament, bad gold quarter zips) and the Hmmmm (Scottie Barnes' recent slump, the Raptors never feeling part of the IST) to round out the show.Come hang out in our Locked On Raptors Discord community! https://discord.gg/NKrQTUueSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Lastly, they dig into The Good (OG Anunoby's game-ending three, Chris Boucher's performance in not enough minutes), the Bad (washing out of the In-Season Tournament, bad gold quarter zips) and the Hmmmm (Scottie Barnes' recent slump, the Raptors never feeling part of the IST) to round out the show.

Dan Devine is joined by Basketball Feelings author Katie Heindl, and the two of them go through some of their favorite emotional truths about the early part of this NBA season after discussing Jimmy Butler's empathy and uniqueness.00:00 - Count me in!02:45 - Jimmy Butler12:45 - NBA emotional truths13:30 - Quit Snyder's red glasses16:00 - Jeremy Sochan PG experiment22:25 - Kelly Oubre Jr. car accident28:25 - Good is more interesting than great42:20 - The Mavericks are likable?46:45 - The Closing Five58:00 - Weekly recommendationsOn this episode of Devine Intervention, Dan Devine is joined by Basketball Feelings author Katie Heindl, who kicks off the show by talking about the uniqueness of Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler. What makes Jimmy different is his vulnerability and his empathy, and Katie explains why both also make him a great teammate.Dan brought Katie on to talk about NBA emotional truths, no math needed, that they have noticed and appreciated in the early part of the season. Katie's first emotional truth is that Quin Snyder's red glasses make an intense man even more intense, and maybe that is why Trae Young is playing more off-ball.The Jeremy Sochan point guard experiment in San Antonio has reminded Dan of why he watches, and loves, the NBA. Watching in real-time as a player learns a new position in the NBA is thrilling, and also a fantastic display of courage by Sochan.Kelly Oubre Jr. was hit by a car a couple weeks ago, and the days after were used by some to question Oubre's story. One of Katie's emotional truths is that we, as fans of basketball, have reached a dark place where we stop seeing the human being and stop giving them the grace to get injured and tell the truth about it.Dan explains that his favorite kind of basketball to watch is a game between two flawed teams, and that he's bored watching the Boston Celtics starting lineup be great. Katie agrees, saying she's only interested in watching flawed teams and seeing how they go about trying to win in creative ways to hide their flaws.For the final NBA emotional truth, Katie is grappling with the Dallas Mavericks being likable despite years of being one of the league's least likable teams. A big reason for that is the creative team within the team, that is putting out amusing videos and pictures with full buy-in from the players. How did they get Kyrie Irving to participate in the “Body By Luka” video anyway?Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
