The Toronto Raptors took down the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night in a close 122-119 tilt that saw Scottie Barnes continue a run of stellar, winning basketball while his supporting cast of sage veterans helped out big time; but are the Raptors, now winners of four of their last five, winning too much? In Episode 1793, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Raptors taking the first of two games down in Atlanta this week, dig into Scottie Barnes' immense two-way impact, and the work Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk and the rest of the potentially soon-to-be traded veterans have done this month to help him hone his craft as a leading man. He also gets in to the idea that the 12-32 Raptors are somehow winning too much, and why this spell of good play is nothing to be worried about for a Raptors team that still needs to see progression from its important young guys and is going to surely engineer plenty of losses down the stretch by giving rookies a boat load of run. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Gradey Dick's two-way play), The Bad (Ja'Kobe Walter looking green) and The Hmmm (should the Raptors switch more on defense?) to round out the show.
