In Episode 1465, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to talk about Canada's 101-75 win over Latvia to complete a 3-0 group stage at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about their biggest takeaways from Canada's third win to open the tournament against a Latvia team that started out hot, and their thoughts on the first round of the tournament as a whole. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Dennis Schroder showing out for Germany and what their hopes are for him on the Toronto Raptors in 2023-24, as well as some old Raptors pals who have starred in the tournament so far, including Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Bruno Caboclo. Lastly, Sean and Vivek check the temperature on their feelings about the Toronto Raptors, whether they're still on the skeptical side of things after a rough offseason, or whether the faintest glimmers of optimism are beginning to set in. Plus, are the Raptors going to make any more roster moves before the season?
