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.

Can the Toronto Raptors help grease the wheels of what is sure to be a very complex, multi-team trade that sends Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat to the Phoenix Suns? In Episode 1792, Sean Woodley is joined by Wes Goldberg (Locked On Heat) and Brendon Kleen (Locked On Suns) to talk about the Toronto Raptors potential involvement in the long-rumored Jimmy Butler trade to the Phoenix Suns which may or may not go down between now and the Feb. 6th Trade Deadline. They get into the mindset and motivations of each team at the moment, possible constructions of trades that could work for each of the Suns, Heat and Raptors, whether a fourth our fifth team might get involved, and all the complex hurdles that need to be cleared for a deal of this magnitude to go down within the league's restrictive CBA.

The Toronto Raptors took down the Orlando Magic 109-93 on Tuesday night and Scottie Barnes turned in the kind of all-around star effort that makes you believe in him as the guy this team is building around. In Episode 1791, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Raptors win over the Magic, their comeback from being down 32-11 in the first quarter and how Scottie Barnes' fingerprints were all over it, the offensive finding its flow and much more. Off the top, they get into Barnes' 17-11-8-2-1 performance that saw him bring immense two-way impact and ask: is Barnes better this year than he was last year? Next, they chat about the Raptors' offense carving up a good Magic defense, Kelly Olynyk's awesome night, and Gradey Dick's enormous yam on Tristan da Silva. Lastly, they run through The Good (Davion Mitchell, Bruce Brown), The Bad (Jakob Poeltl) and The Hmmm (the Raptors potential involvement in a Jimmy Butler deal) to round out the show.
