Toronto Raptors’ comeback vs. Bulls, Jakob Poeltl suffers groin injury, and it’s about to get ugly
The Toronto Raptors fell short in an attempted comeback against the Chicago Bulls and lost 122-121 on Monday while, while starting center Jakob Poeltl left the game with a groin injury. In Episode 1771, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Raptors best efforts to come back without Poeltl in the fourth quarter, why the game offered a preview of what life without Poeltl will probably look like, the overall listlessness of the Raptors throughout the first three quarters, Jamal Shead’s big fourth quarter and much more. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about the attempted comeback in the fourth quarter, where the limitations of not having Jakob Poeltl burned them, Gradey Dick lightning the nets on fire, and what the injury to Poeltl means going forward. Next, they chat about a sleep first three quarters, and whether the atrophy of losing is starting to set in for the Raptors. Lastly, they run through The Good (Jamal Shead), The Bad (RJ Barrett’s late-game decision-making, Jonathan Mogbo looking green) and The Hmm (Raptors-Nets on Thursday — uh, oh, and ramifications for poor transition defense) to round out the show.

With Scottie out, I'd give Ja'Kobe more on ball reps.
Jakob injury was always inevitable. We should have traded him when he was getting 20/20s
Yak nor Kelly were playing well in this game.
Yak didn't do well.against Vuvecic in this game. Kelly was even more horrible. They could not defend the 3 . Gave up 6/10 in the 3Q & 42 pts to Bulls. No discipline & lack awareness.
