In Episode 1504, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about some of the good elements of the Toronto Raptors’ first four games, which have been less than what you want. Off the top, Sean makes an impassioned plea for people to care about defense, which the Raptors are currently exception at — to a degree where it isn’t going to take much improvement on the offensive end to start turning some of these narrow losses into victories, which Katie argues still has plenty of time to take place. Next, Katie details why she’s been encouraged by the Raptors seemingly returning to their pesky nature, and not lying down in games that might have seen last year’s version of the team fold up and concede. Plus, they discuss just how darn fun the Scottie Barnes leap has been so far. Lastly, Sean and Katie take a look ahead at tonight’s game against Damian Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on the first half of a back-to-back that will finish with a game in Philadelphia and Nick Nurse and the Sixers on Thursday. What would be the funniest possible outcome for these two games? Sean and Katie discuss.

Glad u not panicking Sean. It does my heart well.
Teams are going to start panicking when the Raps start putting everything together. Patience is needed.
i think we just had so many expectatjons this season, we could still be playoff contenders
Our defense is elite, need to work on rebounding after the miss though. I think people are getting mad because the team can't capitalize on the other side. It makes it very frustrating to watch. On the bright side Gradey and Scottie are playing amazing.
