Toronto Raptors split vs. Cavaliers & Clippers | Can they repeat last year's second half run?

In Episode 1308, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to break down the Toronto Raptors’ recent win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and loss to Kawhi Leonard and Norman Powell’s LA Clippers to bookend the Christmas weekend. Off the top, they chat about whether the Raptors are trending in the right direction as a squad, and which elements of the team are still giving them pause. Next, they examine the likelihood of the Raptors pulling off a second half run similar to the 34-17 surge with which they finished the 2021-22 season. How crucial is a healthy Fred VanVleet to stringing a run together? Is a trade for a true center a prerequisite to this team truly taking off? And what kind of impact might a healthy Precious Achiuwa have once he eventually returns? Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through the Good, the Bad and the Hmm from the last couple games, including plenty of love for Norman Powell and his all-time status as a Raptors Guy, and Sean’s contemplation of a chemical change in the way his brain thinks about the Raptors.
