Episode 7: Faith, Frontcourts & Funny Business

It’s another Raptors Rewind, and the message is clear: the Toronto Raptors need help—badly. The fellas break down Toronto’s need for another true center to protect the paint and stabilize the defence. While the roster has holes, Vern is standing firm, saying he still believes the Raptors can push their way into the second round of the playoffs 👀. Plus, it’s time for Raptor of the Week, and Jamal Shead gets four thumbs up 👍👍👍👍 for his impact and effort.

Around the league, the spotlight turns to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Once projected to finish first in the East, they’re now sitting sixth in a weak, injury-riddled conference. The big question: is Donovan Mitchell part of the problem—just like we saw during his time with the Utah Jazz?

The guys also recap the NBA Cup, where the San Antonio Spurs seem to have the blueprint to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the New York Knicks finally win something—taking the Cup in Las Vegas behind Jalen Brunson, who walked away with MVP honors 🏆.

To wrap it up, Puff & Vern tackle the uncomfortable topic everyone’s whispering about: tanking in the NBA. Is it a real issue—and which teams are doing it right now?

🎙️ Honest hoops talk, bold takes, and plenty of smoke—Episode 7 is a must-listen.
