EPISODE 40

"STANDING PAT"

Toronto Raptors talk

• As the trade deadline approaches, it serves best to see exactly where the Raptors are in terms of their strengths, as well as their weaknesses. The team is seeing welcomed success in the form of Jonas Valanciunas, DeMar DeRozan, and Kyle Lowry; not to mention the fact that the bench unit has been absolutely stellar in their task of keeping the intensity at its maximum level while the starting unit rests. Players like Fred VanVleet, Delon Wright, Jakob Poeltl, and Pascal Siakam have been unbelievable and consists of arguably the best bench in the entire NBA. With a small flash from Norman Powell, it seems the team, as a whole, is rounding into form.
• To explore these and other topics are host Adam Corsair and first-time guest, Craig Oliver of Hash Tag Basketball and the co-host of the Hashtag Raptors Podcast. Craigs and Adam break down the Raptors' position in the East, their chances against Boston to close out the season, Cleveland's ostensive collapse, a Raptors/Celtics playoff series, Norman Powell, JV, and so much more. Plus, they predict the games for the upcoming week.
