Toronto Raptors fall in OT thriller to Nuggets | No moral victories, but plenty to feel good about
The Toronto Raptors dropped a thrilling overtime game with the Denver Nuggets on Monday night as Nikola Jokic went full MVP mode and the young Raptors learned some tough lessons in closing games against good teams. In Episode 1736, Sean Woodley digs into why the loss was the type you can live considering all the good we saw out of the Raptors throughout, the Young Team Stuff that caused the Raptors to lose the rope, Scottie Barnes going down with an injury after a strong 21-12-9-5-1 effort, and more. Off the top, Sean digs into why this was the type of loss you can live with if you’re a Raptors fan, the energy in the building, and some of the brightspots from a game that was distinctly unlike most games played at Scotiabank Arena in the post-COVID era. Next, Sean digs into where things went wrong for the Raptors and we hear from Darko Rajakovic on why this is the type of game the team can learn from. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jakob Poeltl’s noble efforts on Nikola Jokic), The Bad (Scottie Barnes taking an injury) and The Hmmmmm (Sean’s New Favourite Lineup) to round out the show.

This may be the first video you’ve done in a long time where the takes werent terrible. Additionally I didn’t find you nearly as annoying to listen to as normal. 👍
Burns chocks at critical times.
One sentence sums up raptors lose lastnight . MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS
Gradey horrible shooting cost us the game again. Shame he can't develop his shot in the G league instead of tanking the Raptors season again. Battle is already ready now and can take his place.
It isn't that Jokic's elbow was dirty but it was still a foul and should have been called. I can't see how the refs could not have seen it.
Can you all see the progress going on? I see alot of progress. It is not only Davion , Ochai, Boucher, Poeltl and Battle that have improved each game. If Scottie didn't get hurt the Raptors would have won the game.
This is a team we as Raptors fans can bond with! Totally unselfish basketball, with lots of athleticism and effort! Great team camaraderie ❤
