In Episode 1517, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend that featured a narrow In-Season Tournament loss to the Boston Celtics and an absolute spanking of the very bad Detroit Pistons. Off the top, Sean digs into the most important takeaway from the weekend, which is that Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam seem to be figure out how to work in tandem without infringing upon the areas of the floor in which they can each do damage. As Barnes has leveled up as a shooter and pick-and-roll operate, Siakam is settling in nicely to his niche as a post-up wizard, all the while the Raptors' leading trio of Barnes, Siakam and O.G. Anunoby continue to post super impressive on-off metrics. Next, Sean outlines a really nice weekend from Jakob Poeltl, whose shooting at the rim has been lights out despite a seemingly rocky start to the year. He's an imperfect fit, but this weekend showed off why the Raptors are clearly better with him on the roster than without. Plus, some quick thoughts on nice weekends from Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Precious Achiuwa) the Bad (the very reflective in-season tournament court) and the Hmmm (a week where the Raptors finally get to play some of their contemporaries) to round out the show.
