Synopsis: I hosted the latest edition of Raptors Weekly Extra, talking about all of these strange, happy Raptors feelings.
The Extra returns, trying to figure how to properly judge the team during a lull in the schedule.
On this week’s episode, hosts Blake Murphy and William Lou discuss the following:
- Things are going so well. Is it all…contagious?
- After a tough early-season schedule, the Raptors have five in a row against sub-.500 teams.
- The risk of complacency setting in.
- The 76ers’ comeback, and if it means anything.
- Are poor performances MORE concerning against bad teams, or less noteworthy?
- So, uhh, Lucas Nogueira looks pretty important right now.
- Strong lineup data, best Net Rating on the team.
- Jakob Poeltl looked a little shaky.
- Dwane Casey experimenting with new lineups.
- A way to #FreeNorm and boost play at both ends?
- Worth experimenting now for familiarity later vs. don’t fix what ain’t broken.
- Obligatory “start Patterson” discussion.
