In Episode 1155, Sean Woodley is joined by Yasmin Duale (Yahoo Sports Canada, Dishes & Dimes) to recap the Toronto Raptors' thrilling 119-114 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena. Off the top, they dig into Pascal Siakam's unbelievable 37-point, 11-rebound, 12-assist demolition of the Sixers' defense, the evolution of his work as a central offensive engine, why it seems pretty clear that he will not be the reason the Raptors lose a post-season series, and the ethical nature of his buckets. Next, Sean and Yasmin look at the ways in which the Raptors punishes the Sixers, the holes in Philly's armour that could leave them in trouble in the post-season series with the Raptors, and the things they do that should still concern the Raptors, despite their success against the Sixers this season. Lastly, Yasmin and Sean hand out the Dude of the Game award to Precious Achiuwa, who poured in 20 points with five threes on seven attempts -- including the most brazen pull up three you'll ever see.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.

Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) invites Yasmin Duale (@carmelohdrama), a writer for Yahoo Sports Canada, her basketball culture journal "The Neon Playbook," and one of the many hosts of the Dishes and Dimes podcast, onto the program. The two discuss whether Yasmin enjoys more freedom behind the mic then typing word to screen, what it's like being a woman of color in the sports media world and if she feels any added pressure as a result, and if enough is being done to incorporate more diversity into the space. Yasmin also gives her thoughts on Fred VanVleet re-signing with the Toronto Raptors, the loss of both Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol, which NBA player reminds her of No. 29 pick Malachi Flynn, the addition of Aron Baynes, how the team should handle the Terence Davis situation, what grade she'd give the Raptors' offseason, their three-to-five year outlook, and much more. And in her final rapid-fire questioning, Yasmin talks about her relationship with her younger sister, her love of cartoons like "The Simpsons," how she'd rank the many hosts of her ensemble podcast when it comes to slander, which Raptor she'd least want alongside her in the Hunger Games, which sports she feels are the least watchable, Ben Simmons' inability to make or even attempt 3-pointers, ugly Raptors jerseys, the first thing she'll do once the pandemic is over, and so much more.
