Toronto Raptors fall to Dallas Mavericks; Scottie Barnes is leaping w/ Vivek Jacob

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors fell to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night to fall to 7-17 on the season, but Scottie Barnes' 19-point, 14-assist outing continued to lay out the case that he's making the leap the Raptors are banking on him making. In Episode 1765, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to chat about the Raptors' 125-118 loss to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving's Mavericks on Saturday night, in which Scottie Barnes was a +10, continuing the trend of him driving positive minutes for the team since his return from injury. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into Barnes' play-driving, his improved playmaking, and whether he needs to be a big time scorer to truly ascend to the heights the Raptors are hoping he can achieve. Next, they talk about RJ Barrett being on the sidelines for the best Raptors stretch of the Mavs game, his rough numbers as the sole creator with the bench, and why the return of Immanuel Quickley is going to do him some good. Lastly, they run through The Good (Kelly Olynyk's return, Gradey Dick emptying the clip), The Bad (missing bunnies, transition defense) and The Hmmm (rookies looking comfy, Jonathan MoBingo) to round out the show!
