Toronto Raptors fall to Cleveland Cavaliers; Guard play disparity, Jonathan Mogbo thrills & more w/ Vivek Jacob

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors dropped the first game of a four-game road trip on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 122-108, as Cleveland's lead guard trio of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Ty Jerome too much for the Raptors to hang with. In Episode 1755, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Toronto Raptors' 122-108 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night, why guard play was the story of the night going both ways, how the Raptors can change the dynamic in the matchup with Cleveland, Jonathan Mogbo, Jonathan Mogbo and more Jonathan Mogbo. Off the top, they get into how the Raptors starting lineup, armed with no traditional lead guards, got outgunned by the Cavs' three-headed guard monster, why the Raptors lost this game in the half court, and the early returns on the Scottie Barnes-RJ Barrett-Gradey Dick-Ochai Agbaji-Jakob Poeltl starting five. Next, Sean and Vivek chat about why small ball might be the Raptors' counter to a Cavs team that gives tem all kinds of matchup trouble, with the stretches of Scottie Barnes and Jonathan Mogbo working in the front court together serving as a good test case for the theory. Lastly, they run through The Good (Mogbo Mania), The Bad (Gradey Dick's calf issue, Toronto's terrible start) and The Hmmm (the flashes of Mogbo's scoring, RJ-Scottie & bench lineups) to close out the show.
