Locked On Raptors

In Episode 1593, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to talk about the Toronto Raptors falling 128-118 to the Portland Trail Blazers in overtime on Saturday night in a game that featured many of the same plot points as Thursday loss to Phoenix: tough start, second-half surge, Immanuel Quickley going off, and Chris Boucher showing out well in a losing effort. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Quickley, who's avergaing 22-6-8 on 60% True Shooting since the All-Star break, giving a glimpse at how tantalizingly high his ceiling as an offensive engine for the Raptors might be.

Lastly, they run through The Good (Boucher, Kelly Olnyk's 15-6-8-2-2 night), The Bad (Defensive rebounding, Ochai Agbaji's decision-making) and The Hmmm (the need for defensive juice on the wings, Gradey Dick's passing) b
