In Episode 1300, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through a whole bunch of listener questions about the struggling, 13-14 Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean examines Nick Nurse’s role in the Raptors struggles of late. Does he play his guys too many minutes? Does he need to be more flexible in terms of how the team plays defense? Is he being unfairly scapegoated for issues outside of his control? Plus, are the Raptors simply a good run of shooting from O.G. Anunoby, Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. away from solving most of their problems? And are there any particular player archetypes the front office needs to be targeting before the NBA Trade Deadline? In addition, Sean addresses questions about trade targets like Jakob Poeltl and Myles Turner, the latter of whom may be moving to the top of Sean’s wish list as a solution to a couple of Toronto’s biggest problems, as well as whether the Raptors will finish below the also brick-heavy New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers in overall three-point percentage? To close, Sean answers a great question about how to stay invested as a new fan when the team is going through struggles.

#freds got to go
Yes nurse deserves a big part of the blame. One of the worst offense in the league.
TRADES! Jakob Poeltl seems to be one of the names of choice out in the ether as a Raptors target right now. I'm particularly keen on Myles Turner if they can swing it. Who do you have in mind as a guy to target as a fix to some or all of the Raptors' issues?
We Play a 5"11 midget 40 min a night and let him take 15 shots per game while having the worst fg% in the nba and yet we wonder why we suck
Nurse is also being exposed on defense. Teams know the pressure is coming and will just swing balls for open shots. Giving up 40 pts in first quarter in multiple games is unacceptable
As a raps fan for about 22 years, this is the least entertained i have ever been watching them play on a game to game basis. The entire roster is made up of 6’7-6’9 athletes that can’t shoot, but how many of them are even that athletic….when is the last time we seen a Real Dunk!? can any of them even windmill or 360, tomahawk, alley oop? No dunks, no handles, no 3s, no highlights. i’m tired of watching layups and free throws
Should someone tell me why the team gives lots of corner 3s? Why not give up 2 points field goals as opposed to collapsing in the paint and giving wide open corner threes . I never seen such and NBA team doing that ?
