Synopsis: I hosted the latest edition of the Raptors Republic Weekly Podcast, discussing Raptors-Cavs preseason action and the Toronto media landscape.

The Extra returns, breaking down Raptors-Cavaliers before diving into some broader topics.

On this week’s episode, hosts Blake Murphy and William Lou discuss the following:

• Raptors-Cavaliers.
  • Pseudo post-game reaction podcast.
    • Ross and Sullinger injuries.
    • Who kidnapped Jarrod Uthoff?
• Toronto and Cleveland, unlikely rivals.
  • The Jays and Indians meet up after the Raptors and Cavaliers did the same.
  • Can this be a ‘rivalry’ between cities? Or is there too much mutual apathy, or even, gasp, support?
  • Josh Tomlin, FOH, fam.
• Auston Matthews.
  • Yes, seriously, we’re talking about the Leafs.
  • Don’t worry, it’s within the context of how the relationship between the Leafs and Raptors in the city.
  • Will elaborated on this point in further detail here
• Blake, Will, and Harsh also broke down both conferences in a mega-podcast over at The Defeated Podcast.
  • Part 1: Award picks, League Pass teams
  • Part 2: Warriors, Cavaliers, LeBron’s legacy, trade candidates
  • While you’re here, I also created a Facebook page where I’ll post all of my articles/radio spots/podcasts, some of which don’t end up re-posted here at Raptors Republic. That includes a couple of season-preview/fantasy video podcasts and some Jays and wrestling stuff from the last week or two.
