Description
In Episode 1366, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 118-114 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, which is one of the more baffling losses in a season full of them considering Tyrese Haliburton was out for Indy. Off the top, they dig into the slew of missed opportunities for the Raptors to grab control of the game in the going, Will Barton's dud of a night as a starter in place of the injured Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr. and Precious Achiuwa, and which of the three absent Raptors the team missed the most. Next, Sean details a tactical concern that popped up for the Raptors related to Jakob Poeltl and his struggles against teams with three-point shooting big men, and why Achiuwa and Christian Koloko's development are key potential solutions to the problem. Jakob Poeltl still rules, but he's imperfect, as was put on display last night. Lastly, Sean and Jamar run through the Good (CanCon showing out, Pascal Siakam's 31-10-7, Malachi Flynn), the Bad (Will Barton, Toronto's transition scoring, Siakam missing mismatches in the first half) and The Hmmm (Status quo in the play-in race, Toronto's 4th quarter issues) to round out the show.
