Blake and Will run down the week’s topics for the Friday pod.
We’re trying something new here at Raptors Republic. Implausibly, despite the existence of the dry sarcastic whines of Raptors Weekly pod and the dry sarcastic humor of the Talking Raptors podcast, readers have expressed an appetite for a Friday post cast to fill out the week. So we’re tripling down on dry sarcasm, and adding yet another show for your earballs to enjoy.
We’re calling it the Raptors Weekly Extra Podcast for now, but with all due respect to Zarar, the name sucks, so we’d love to hear your suggestions.
On this week’s episode, Blake Murphy and William Lou discuss the following topics:
- James Johnson’s “under-utilized” non-mood
- Why doesn’t he play?
- Why are his advanced numbers so good?
- Does he have a beef with Dwane Casey (hint: no, for god’s sake, no)
- Should he play more? What role should he play?
- Jonas Valanciunas’s fractured metacarpal
- Can Bismack Biyombo handle the increased role?
- Will’s wacky “Valanciunas is a platoon player” theory
- Innovative smallball lineups?
- Dwane Casey’s job security
- Blake and Will both agree: He shouldn’t be fired this season
- Blake says: Casey has his flaws, but you can’t argue with the results
- Will says: “um” a lot, that Casey’s flaws are somewhat glaring
