Raptors Weekly Podcast (Feb 10) – Reset and Reload

We talk the roadtrip, who made a name and who sunk into the background. James Herbert gives his take on what's going on in Detroit and Cleveland and where the Raptors may prosper.

This week on a packed Raptors Weekly we talk the roadtrip that was, who made a name for themselves and who sunk into the ground. We also bring in James Herbert from SBNation (@outsidethenba) to get his take on what’s going on in Detroit and Cleveland and see where the Raptors may prosper. Highlights include:

  • An unexpected win and an unexpected loss – it all evens out.
  • Terrence Ross – was he with the team on the roadtrip? Opinions are split.
  • Other than DeRozan, who on the Raptors can actually draw a foul? No, Lowry’s three-point fake doesn’t count. Jonas?
  • Steve Novak reminds us he’s still on the team and there’s strong evidence to suggest he’s a great defender. I kid you not.
  • Amir Johnson’s injury that’s not an injury but looks like an injury and is talked about like it’s an injury – what to do?
  • Tyler Hansbrough’s value on the market? Location! Location! Location!
  • Is Inside the NBA out of touch – we talk Charles Barkley ruining Jonas Valanciunas’s name.
  • Dwane Casey’s strategy of fouling and Doc Rivers’ (over) reaction – says to give 3 foul shots on intentional fouls – what a tool!
  • Tristan Thompson on the block in Cleveland after their disaster season? James says…
  • Greg Monroe is there to be had, or more specifically, his RFA rights are there to be had. Fire up the trade machine.
  • Pelicans and Hawks preview – do you care about these two games?
  • Will DeMar make a bounce pass?
  • So much more it hurts to type so I’ll stop.
