In Episode 1527, Sean Woodley is joined by Oren Weisfeld (Sportsnet, Complex, The Internet) to chat about the Toronto Raptors' 119-106 loss to the New York Knicks on Friday night despite a strong showing from Scottie Barnes (29-9-4-5-1 on 13/19 and 3/7 from three). Off the top, Sean and Oren discuss why the Knicks' overwhelming depth and noted lack of bad players was a big differentiator between the two teams on Friday, while also diving into how the Raptors' aggressive coverages on Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson left the Raptors' exposed on the back end of some pretty lifeless defensive rotations. Next, they chat about the Raptors now that they've surpassed the 20-game mark on the season and whether this group has any capacity for growth, and what they've been surprised by so far through a quarter of the season. Can the bench get better? And is there room for the Raptors' defense to regain no-doubt Top-10 status? Lastly, Sean and Oren run through the Good (Jalen Brunson being very Kyle Lowry-like, Chris Boucher), the Bad (OG plus four bench guys, wasting a great Scottie effort) and the Hmmmm (Scottie at the five, Immanuel Quickley being the guard the Raptors need) to round out the show.
