Locked On Raptors

In Episode 1489, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to discuss some of the biggest and most interesting questions facing the Toronto Raptors going into the 2023-24 NBA season. Off the top, they examine the chicken-or-egg conundrum of whether a team needs good vibes in order to win, or whether winning is what brings good vibes, and how the coaching staff led by Darko Rajaković plays a role in all of it. Plus, how much can a coaching staff overcome a roster's limitations in order to fully revamp the team's style of play? Next, Sean and Katie discuss whether or not ball movement increasing can alone help turn around the moribund half court offense the Raptors have had over the last couple seasons. And to close, Sean and Katie examine just how much the Pascal Siakam and O.G. Anunoby free agency situations might bleed into the overall health and wellness of the team, and what the impact of another stressful deadline might be on the overall vibes and culture around the squad.Come and
