  • Toronto Raptors team president Masai Ujiri gave his end-of-season address to the assembled media to put a bow on the 2024-25 season on Wednesday. In Episode 1848, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to Masai Ujiri's end-of-season press conference where he dug into the logic behind the Brandon Ingram trade, the forces at play that are shaping the ways front offices go about building their teams, and much more! Sean kicks things off with some thoughts on how it seems like the Raptors have firmly righted course and know what their direction is from the top of the organization on down to the players. You may disagree with the plan, but there's a plan in a way there wasn't a couple years ago, and the Ingram addition is a big part of that. Next, Sean digs into some of Ujiri's comments on learning the new CBA, the impact of geopolitical strife on Canada's lone NBA team, and the opportunities that could arise for the Raptors in the coming years as the sport globalizes. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good, The Bad & The Hmmm from the season at large!

  • As the Toronto Raptors get ready to head into the off-season, what should the top priorities of Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster be with their big move -- Brandon Ingram -- already taken care of? In Episode 1847, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about what they would have as their top summer priorities if they were in charge of the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean digs into why swinging for high upside in the draft has to be the top priority considering how much they stand to gain from landing a star with their top-10 pick. Big V counters with adding to the team's shooting talent being the number one thing he'd look to pursue. Next, they chat about whether or not a backup center is actually a pressing need for the team, and why adding a spacing big man of some persuasion would be a huge for helping to elongate the Raptors' lineups and amplify the impact of Scottie Barnes. They also get into whether or not the Raptors should be looking to move RJ Barrett and why they absolutely should not be forcing the issue if an upgrade isn't there, the team's need to cut down on turnovers, and why they should just opt for vibes and bring both Chris Boucher and Garrett Temple back in some capacity.

  • The Toronto Raptors 2024-25 NBA season comes to an end this weekend, which means it's time for the last Toxic Positivity Friday of the season! In Episode 1845, Sean Woodley and Chelsea Leite (Raptors HQ, Locked On Women's Basketball) chat about their favourite moments and storylines from a Raptors season that turned out to be a lot more fun than your run-of-the-mill 30-win season should be. They get into what made this season much more enjoyable than last year, Ja'Kobe Walter's hilarious game-winner against the Orlando Magic, the camaraderie the team built over the course of the year, the growth of the rookies, the January win over the Boston Celtics in the midst of an 8-game winning streak, and Darko Rajaković making his name as an outstanding culture setter as the team's head coach.

  • The Toronto Raptors hammered the truly awful Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night 126-96 to wrap up their home portion of the schedule on a high note with a game that had no business being as charmingly fun as it ended up being. In Episode 1844, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about just how enjoyable the game was in spite of there being zero stakes, discuss the Raptors locking up the 7th spot in the NBA Draft Lottery, the latest on Brandon Ingram's recovery, and much more from the final home game of the year. Sean gets into Jonathan Mogbo's triple-double, the team's vibes remaining shockingly high for a team stuck on 30 wins, the Raptors' position on lotto night finally being secure, and the PRP injection Brandon Ingram reportedly got in his ankle to speed up his recovery before running through The Good (One last blast for BBQ, Herbie Kuhn), The Bad (No Chris Boucher?), and The Hmm (Darko's comments on Jonathan Mogbo's position) to wrap up the show.

  • The Toronto Raptors are set to play their final home game of a strange, tanking season tonight against the Charlotte Hornets -- but should there be genuine optimism about the team's chances of competing for the post-season in 2025-26? In Episode 1843, Sean Woodley is joined by Andrew Ivimey, a hilarious local stand-up and die-hard Raptors fan, to chat about the fan experience of watching another season in the tank, the excitement brought about by the Raptors rookies, the Brandon Ingram trade, things to look forward to in 2025-26, and Chris Boucher getting disappeared from the Raptors' rotation. Will Ingram help expand Scottie Barnes' game while narrowing his role? What excited Andrew about the idea of watching a team that just has a bunch of good basketball players? And so much more!

  • With the Toronto Raptors season coming to a close, are you higher or lower on core Raps players like Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick than you were before the season starter? In Episode 1842, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) link to play a classic Stupid Little Game with the debut of a new joint: "Higher OR Lower?" where they discuss whether they're, you guessed it, higher or lower on Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter than they were coming into the season. How does the addition of Brandon Ingram to the team inform their opinions? Does Scottie Barnes' defensive leap outweigh the poor shooting splits? How do we judge a half season of Immanuel Quickley? And is Ja'Kobe Walter primed for big things? All that and more!

  • The Toronto Raptors split a pair of games against the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets over the weekend as their crew of rookies continued to show out. In Episode 1841, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the contributions of Ja'Kobe Walter, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamal Shead over the weekend, discuss a rough one for RJ Barrett at Barclays Center and more. Off the top, Sean talks about Walters' 22-point outing on Friday night, his two-way play, and Darko Rajakovic singing his praises. Plus, Jamal Shead's 21 assists to 3 turnovers over the weekend, and Jonathan Mogbo looking the part as a springy small-ball center in a 17-11-7 game against Brooklyn in which he shot 8/9. Next, Sean gets into a rough night for RJ Barrett and what his idealized role will look like on next year's team. Lastly, Sean digs into The Good (Immanuel Quickley making things happen), The Bad (Duke's Final Four collapse) and The Hmmm (can AJ Lawson stick around?) to round out the show.

  • The Toronto Raptors lost 112-103 to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night in a game that was overshadowed by the pre-game revelation that Scottie Barnes has been playing through an injured hand for months -- A PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER CHOOSING TO PLAY PRO BASKETBALL WHILST HURT?! A SCANDAL! In Episode 1840, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the admittedly contradictory nature of how the Raptors have handled Barnes and the run up to the end of this season, and why everyone probably just needs to a get a grip on their outrage over it all, because no one is going to think about this in a couple months' time. Plus, Sean digs into some takes from his in-laws, who attended the game last night and had some thoughts, and runs through The Good (TERRENCE ROSS IN THE HOUSE!), The Bad (the rest of 2010s night) and The Hmmm (One last Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick update to come on Friday) to round out the show.

  • The Toronto Raptors class of rookies has been one of the bright spots of the season, but what does the future hold for Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle? In Episode 1839, Sean Woodley goes solo to a big of a status update on each of the Raptors four high-usage rookies, and plot out what their roles look like going into next year, and what needs to happen in their development to hit their high-end outcomes in the years to come. Off the top, Sean digs into Walter's season-long steady improvement, why he has the highest upside of any Raptors rookie, and why he could be a fixture in the Raptors' best lineups as early as next season. Next, Sean gets into Jamal Shead, who is a backup point guard's backup point guard, and has a real shot to be that for the long haul. Lastly, Sean runs through the offensive improvements Jonathan Mogbo will need to make in order to make use of his immense defensive potential, and gets into whether Jamison Battle can ever become more than a dead-eye stationary three-point shooter.

  • The Toronto Raptors got smacked by the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, but the play of Immanuel Quickley and Ja'Kobe Walter in the back court has your very handsome host feeling pretty optimistic about their future! In Episode 1838, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Raptors loss in Chicago, the efficient play of Walter and Quickley and why they make a lot of sense as a guard tandem going forward, Scottie Barnes' recent scoring struggles and more. Off the top, Sean gets into some of the encouraging numbers around the IQ-Ja'Kobe tandem, and what makes them such a sensible on-court fit. Whatever the team looks like next year, the need to be playing loads of minutes together. Next, Sean digs into the recent offensive woes of Scottie Barnes, whether there's cause for legitimate concern, and why the context he's currently playing in is probably informing some admittedly very ugly numbers. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (an important loss for lotto position), The Bad (The Chicago Bulls, I don't care what anyone says) and The Hmmm (playoff elimination -- last time for a while?) to round out the show.

  • As reported by Sportsnet's Michael Grange, the Toronto Raptors have picked up the option of head coach Darko Rajaković for the 2026-27 season, marking a vote of confidence in the work their second-year head coach has done through two losing-yet-productive seasons on the job. In Episode 1836, Sean Woodley goes solo to chat about why Rajaković is fully deserving of the belief the front office seems to have in him after all the foundation-laying he's done over the last two seasons. Next, Sean tries to sift through some takeaways from the Raptors pair of weekend wins, pushing their winning streak to 4 games despite them not really trying all that hard to actually win these games. But hey, the Immanuel Quickley-Jakob Poeltl connection looks extremely strong, and the rookies continue to make their way. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Duke prospects), The Bad (the utter meaninglessness of this late-season schedule) and The Hmm (Ja'Kobe Walter's tantalizing set of skills) to round out the show.

  • Will recent Toronto Raptors addition Brandon Ingram make franchise history in his first full year with the team next season? In Episode 1835, Sean Woodley answers that question and many more about the state of the Raptors in a Toxic Positivity Mailbag! Off the top, Sean answers questions about whether Brandon Ingram can have a top-5 scoring season in Raptors history in his first full year with the team, and whether the Raptors' Top-10 defense in the calendar year 2025 is at all sustainable moving forward. Next, Sean digs into questions about assembling a rad bench mob for next year's team, and whether or not he'd be open to the Raptors saying "eff it" and winning out their remaining nine games. Lastly, Sean fields questions about why it's OK if the Raptors don't pick in the upper reaches of the Top-10, ex-Raptors with NICE things to say about Canada, and how excited he is to watch a team that plays pretty ball again.

  • The Toronto Raptors all but guaranteed themselves the 7th spot in the NBA Draft Lottery in May with a 116-86 win over the Brooklyn Nets, and it's kind of a relief! In Episode 1834, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Raptors beat down of the Nets, and dig into what it means for their pursuit of good position in the NBA Draft Lottery. Off the top, Sean gets into where the probabilities now lie with him in the lottery picture, why 7th in the lotto is close to locked up at this point, and why that's kind of a relief. There's no real need to live and die with night to night results the rest of the way, and this year's draft is loaded with interesting prospects in the Raptors likely range. Plus, does this free the Raptors up to unleash Brandon Ingram for a brief run to close the season? Next, Sean runs through the highlights from the Raptors' crop of rookies on Wednesday night, including Ja'Kobe Walter's passing, Jamison Battle's rebounding, Jamal Shead's floor management and Jonathan Mogbo's stat-stuffing. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Orlando Robinson's 23 & 12, Ochai Agbaji), The Bad (the Nets' excellent broadcast getting wasted on this Nets team) and The Hmm (French prospect Noa Essengue) to round out the show.

  • The Toronto Raptors take on the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in perhaps their most important game with regards to the tank standings of the season. In Episode 1833, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about the Raptors' tilt with the Nets, and whether it means anything that the Raptors have been playing RJ Barrett on nights (like tonight) that Jakob Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley are both sitting; does it tell us anything about how the franchise views Barrett? Next, they get into the summer time conundrum the Raptors are set to face regarding Barrett, who's on-court impact metrics paint him as the most likely Raptors core piece to get moved this summer. But should the Raptors just keep him and, perhaps, even pay the luxury tax to do so? Lastly, Sean and Vivek address the recent discourse about the inconveniences of playing in Canada, raised by Thad Young, Lou Williams and Rudy Gay on various play-hosted podcast this week. Do we care at all? (Sean doesn't.)

  • The Toronto Raptors took down the Washington Wizards by a final score of 112-104 on Monday night in a game that the Raptors set themselves up to lose well enough, but the powers of Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl were simply to much to contain. In Episode 1832, Sean Woodley goes solo to react the Raptors' 25th win of the season, dig into how the Raptors coaching staff managed the game about as well as possible if their intent was to lose while also getting some run in for their main guys, and why 7th in the lotto odds feels like their destiny. Next, Sean gets into the trio of Quickley, Barnes and Poeltl, who were excellent in their minutes together on Monday despite some wonky shooting splits, have posted strong on-court numbers together all season, and look pretty clearly like three guys you can play winning basketball with based on the eye test. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (not having to watch the Wizards anymore, the rookies), The Bad (Orlando Robinson) and The Hmmm (have the Raptors pioneered a way to make March basketball at least halfway watchable?) to round out the show.
