Podcasts about Toronto Raptors

Tom Petrini, Aaron Blackerby, and Zach Montana celebrate the Spurs' 11-0 February and 11-game win streak, breaking down physical wins over the Pistons and Raptors and a quieter win over the Nets. They highlight Devin Vassell's hot shooting, Julian Champagnie's corner threes, and how the team is learning to play “Wemby ball” with improved spacing, ball movement, and defense that travels. The crew debates whether the Spurs lack playoff experience, whether they're peaking too early, and if they should pursue Khris Middleton on the buyout market. They close by previewing a tough upcoming slate, Knicks, 76ers (with Joel Embiid), Pistons rematch, and Clippers plus their weekly record predictions.00:00 Intro and Streak Hype02:06 Shoutouts and Witchcraft03:47 Pistons Dog Fight Recap07:04 Raptors Comeback Win09:39 Nets Adult Win Banter12:19 High Praise Segment Begins13:55 Vassell Corner Three Surge16:08 Playing Wemby Ball24:42 Contender Talk Experience Question35:44 Is It Too Early36:49 Spurs Hitting Top Gear38:06 Peaking Too Early Debate40:13 Old Spurs Vibes Return41:27 Khris Middleton Buyout Talk44:57 Knicks Matinee Preview48:57 Sixers Bulletin Board Game53:07 Pistons Rematch Hell In A Cell59:08 Clippers Preview With Mr Sako01:03:37 Weekly Picks And Sign Off

Thursday's A.M. Update exposes what looks like classic Senate "failure theater" from Majority Leader John Thune, who promises a vote on the SAVE Act to block non-citizen voting but sidesteps any real push like a talking filibuster amid government funding fights and other priorities. Vice President JD Vance, alongside CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, takes firm action by withholding $259.5 million in Medicaid funds from Minnesota over massive fraud concerns, giving Governor Tim Walz 60 days to outline fixes or face more cuts. A classified Gang of Eight briefing on Iran draws only a measured, non-committal response from Chuck Schumer, while 12 advanced F-22 Raptors deploy to Israel as Middle East tensions simmer. Other highlights include Democratic counterprogramming flops featuring dancing frog skits, John Fetterman's critique of his party's antics, college students hilariously reviewing a State of the Union that hadn't happened yet, a dramatic Omaha sinkhole caught on camera, and listener reactions to whether Trump's address moved the needle.   A.M.

The hour wraps with bets for tonight's NBA Card, including if the Raptors can bounce back from last night's loss against the Thunder with the Spurs coming to town, can you trust the short-handed Thunder to keep things close in Detroit, and will Jaylen Brown continue his recent heroics against the Nuggets?

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji returned with a solo edition of Catch That Ticket on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, keeping the focus strictly on the NBA while Uncle Dave enjoyed a day off on the golf course. The pod opened with momentum, as the duo improved to 4 and 0 on best bets for the week following a 2 and 0 sweep the previous night. Uncle Dave cashed Missouri plus 3.5 in an outright win over Tennessee, while Manji delivered with Paolo Banchero over on points, rebounds, and assists as Banchero poured in 36 points in Orlando's 110 to 109 victory over the Lakers. Manji briefly addressed listener feedback, thanking supporters for positive reviews while emphasizing that the core mission remains consistent, beating the books and putting money in listeners' pockets. Tuesday's NBA recap highlighted Cleveland's 109 to 94 win over the Knicks in a game that stayed under the total, Toronto's home loss to Oklahoma City despite key Thunder absences, Boston's 97 to 81 win over Phoenix without Jaylen Brown, and Orlando's road victory in Los Angeles. Looking ahead to Wednesday's slate, Manji broke down several back to back scenarios. Oklahoma City travels to Detroit after playing in Toronto, and the Thunder have struggled on the second leg of back to backs with a 1 and 8 record against the spread. Detroit, one of the league's top defensive teams with a 108.3 season long defensive rating and strong recent form, is positioned as a measuring stick opponent. With both teams ranking in the top five defensively over the last 10 games and playing at below average pace, Manji leaned under 219.5 in that matchup, while also favoring the Pistons minus 7.5. In Toronto, the Spurs visit the Raptors, who are also on a back to back. San Antonio enters healthy and playing balanced basketball, benefiting from multiple contributors alongside Wemby. With Toronto trending under in these spots and covering just 40 percent on the second leg of back to backs, Manji backed Spurs minus 7.5 and also targeted a Raptors team total under 110.5. In Houston, the Rockets host the Kings as heavy 13.5 point favorites. Sacramento snapped a 16 game losing streak but continues to struggle defensively, ranking near the bottom of the league. Houston has shown offensive efficiency against weaker defenses, and despite playing at a slow pace, has capitalized in favorable matchups. Rather than lay the large spread, Manji preferred the Rockets team total over 118.5. The marquee matchup features Boston in Denver, with the Nuggets laying 3.5 and a total of 229.5. Boston has been strong on back to backs, going 6 and 3 against the number and 7 and 2 to the under. Both teams rank first and second in offensive rating season long, yet play at slow pace, with Boston dead last in pace and Denver below league average. Manji projected a half court game and favored the under 229.5 while also leaning Nuggets minus 3.5 in a bounce back spot. He also noted Boston's resilience without Jayson Tatum, highlighting their depth and efficiency, and suggested the Celtics remain a team to monitor in futures markets. Manji closed by promoting discounted college basketball packages at pregame.com using promo code EAST25 and confirmed his best bet for the night as Rockets team total over 118.5, aiming to extend the podcast's winning streak to five straight.

What a weekend! After digging out on Friday after work, I took my sore back downtown & watched the US Men beat Slovakia to advance to the Gold Medal game, which they also won! Talked a lot about the Olympics wrapping up this weekend, including a final medal count & some of the bigger stories from the last few weeks in Italy. Elsewhere in the news this morning, the latest on the violence in Mexico, an update on the search for Nancy Guthrie, and a look at the blizzard hitting parts of the East Coast. In sports, the Bucks won on Friday after a long break for the NBA All-Star game, but lost yesterday to the Raptors. The Badgers took care of Iowa yesterday afternoon, Tyler Reddick won his 2nd consecutive race, the Brewers are struggling in Spring training, and Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore died over the weekend. Let you know what's on TV today/tonight and recapped "Dead of Winter" which the wife & I watched this weekend. Unless you've been living in a bunker recently, you know about Punch the Monkey. He's going super-viral after his mother refused to care for him at a zoo in Japan. And now IKEA is helping out after the zoo used a stuffed animal to help Punch. In other sports related items, Conor McGregor apparently wants to fight again, Pirates legend Bill Mazeroski died, and a fan ran onto the court of a college basketball game and tried to block a player's dunk. Check out these guys who set a record by playing Pickleball for 28 hours straight!

And a guy in Chicago is a hero after jumping into the freezing waters of Lake Michigan to rescue a baby who's stroller was blown into the lake by a strong gust of wind! Apparently, Mr. Clean is "retiring", and Dunkin' Donuts is testing a giant coffee bucket in some New England locations. Plus, tomorrow is "National Tortilla Chip" day, so Chipotle is giving away free chips & queso! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about people pooping on the L.A. buses, a software engineer who somehow gained control of several thousand robot vacuums, an elementary school teacher in North Carolina who had a bad day at a Sam's Club, a Circle K in Arizona that sold a winning lottery ticket, a medic in Pittsburgh who was stealing rubber gloves from work & trading them for free pizza, and an auto repair shop in Iowa that made some questionable commercials.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
