  • Enough Already!!!

    I gave one star for the extra “You might also like…” episodes. You’re the only podcast network I’ve seen that makes me download an ad episode for every real episode, and that makes you kinda gross.

  • Filled with hot takes irrational and emotional

    Most of Sean Woodleys opinions are wrong and his option are rather emotional rather than looking at the bigger picture.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is "Playoff Scottie Barnes" going to be a new nightly reality for the Toronto Raptors? | Mailbag! w/ Katie Heindl
Q: Will Allen Graves play the role Mamu played last year as a stretch five?
Katie suggests Graves can contribute as a versatile forward who can stretch the floor, be active on defense, and fit into lineups with multiple positions, potentially easing into a Mamu-like role rather than replicating it exactly.
Are the Raptors and Pacers the two biggest threats to the Knicks in the East? w/ Tony East
Q: Do you agree the Raptors and Pacers are the biggest threats to the Knicks if everything goes right health-wise?
We both see a plausible top-two contours in the East with Toronto and Indiana because of high ceilings and recent success, but the Knicks' own improvements and health could shift the balance; the discussion centers on fit, pace, and how well the new pieces mesh as the season unfolds.
What would constitute a successful 3-year window with Kawhi Leonard? | Would You Rather? w/ Vivek Jacob!
Q: Would you rather the Raptors make the playoffs only once in the next three seasons with Kawhi Leonard but reach the Finals and lose, or make the playoffs in all three years but only reach one Eastern Conference final?
Big V leans toward the three-year playoffs with at least one conference final, valuing consistent postseason relevance; the other option is possible but riskier due to health and early exits. Over the course of the discussion, he suggests the more sustainable, long-term fan experience is the playoffs in all three years with at least one Eastern Conference Final.
Over/Under + Win Total Predictions For The East | Where Do The Toronto Raptors Fit In? w/Kai Gammage
Q: What is the Raptors' predicted standing?
The speakers converge on the Raptors occupying a top-four slot with a target around 50 wins, assuming Kawhi Leonard's status resolves favorably and the roster depth supports a strong regular season.
Have the Toronto Raptors passed the Cleveland Cavaliers by in the Eastern Conference? w/ Danny Cunningham
Q: What do you think is the Cavs' biggest need this season beyond the four core players?
The guest highlights wing depth as the critical area, with Tyson as a potential fifth starter and Watson/Kaminga as possible upgrades that could raise the Cavaliers' floor and ceiling if they join the rotation.
