In Episode 1537, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob to react to a Toronto Raptors win over the Charlotte Hornets that hung in the balance until Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam took over in the fourth quarter to secure a 114-99 decision. Off the top, Sean and Vivek live out Groundhog Day again, and dig into why this game simply HAS to the last dance for the starting lineup, which has been very bad all year, and was brutal once again against Charlotte — made all the more frustrating by how comfortably the Raptors pulled away after swapping Gary Trent Jr. in for Jakob Poeltl with the starting group. Next, they chat about Jakob Poeltl and Dennis Schroder, who would better serve the Raptors coming off the bench, and why their issues on the court are very much intertwined at this point. Lastly, they run through The Good (Scottie Barnes’ low-man defense, Gary Trent Jr.’s first career double-double), the Bad (Malachi Flynn, backcourt defense) and The Hmmm (the closing lineup forcing Darko’s hand (???), Precious Achiuwa: reliable reserve) to round out the show.

Someone was promised too much, and it has caused a small bubble of grief among certain players. Fill in the blanks. Body language and small things can say something. Dennis is tired, and it may be time to mix up things with the playing time. Jac will not complain about coming off the bench.
You guys are clown we couldn’t keep Fred because we couldn’t match $43 million. The team is under performing its talent level. That’s not the front office that’s the coach. We are the 2019 champion I’m good for the next 10 years give it up.
Jak to the bench so obvious at this point it is painful
Jak to the bench is so obvious at this point it is painful but the roster construction makes that awkward.
There are a few teams where I agree it makes sense for him to play. But not many.
