Host William Lou invites Joe Wolfond (@joey_doubleyou) to the podcast to break down this week in Raptors basketball.
The two discuss:
- Budding Raptors-Celtics rivalry
- Are they rivals?
- Jonas Valanciunas: “They are racing for the second place, we are racing for first.”
- Who would win in a playoff series?
- Jonas’ turnaround
- “If your big guys don’t dominate, you have to go small,” Casey told ESPN’s Zach Lowe. “I tell Jonas (Valanciunas): ‘Oh, you want to play more? Then dominate. I don’t want to see fadeaways over 6-8 guys. Get to the rim. Get every offensive rebound. If not, you’re coming out.'”
- Since those comments: Valanciunas averaging 14.4 points, 11.6 rebounds
- Injury situation
- Delon Wright
- Jared Sullinger
- Patrick Patterson
- Previewing the week ahead
- Twitter questions
- Trading for Carmelo Anthony
- Jared Sullinger as a smallball center
- Will the offense hold up in the playoffs?
