The fellas are back with another Raptors Rewind, and Toronto is keeping things interesting 😬. The Raptors are clinging to the 4th seed in the East, but sloppy losses to teams they should beat have Puff & Vern asking some tough questions. Bright spot? Scottie Barnes making history with a wild 20–20 triple-double and earning Raptor of the Week honours 🏆.

Around the league, OKC may have found its kryptonite — the Alien in San Antonio 👽, as the Spurs hand them three losses in two weeks. Denver is in survival mode with injuries piling up, including MVP Jokic and his backup, making the next three weeks crucial for their season. We also break down the family showdown between cousins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who both showed out in a battle for the ages.

And then… there’s LeBron 👀. Is Father Time finally undefeated, or is this take completely out of pocket? Puff says he’s washed. Vern isn’t so sure. Tap in — the debates are heated and the takes are flying 🔥🏀

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.

It’s another tough Raptors Rewind, and this one comes with some real concern. The Toronto Raptors are riding a four-game losing streak, and Vern is officially asking if it’s time to hit the panic button 🚨. The defence has fallen off, the losses are piling up, and the guys break down what needs to change—plus which potential trades could realistically shake things up in Toronto.

Around the league, the conversation gets spicy. LeBron James is still out here dunking on people like Father Time doesn’t exist. The San Antonio Spurs are turning into must-watch TV with a roster full of exciting young talent. In Atlanta, the Atlanta Hawks are raising eyebrows by playing strong basketball without Trae Young, hinting that big changes could be on the way. And in OKC, the Oklahoma City Thunder are putting teams away in three quarters—so the big question is: are they really like that?
