In our Raptors homer moment, we evaluate the teams recent road trip and and look at Nick Nurse's semi controversial 7 man rotation. Is this good or bad for the team? Kyle Lowry missed his match up against us to go to an Eagles game?!?

This week, host comedian Cathryn Naiker and special guest Lauren Mitchell (Cavern of Secrets podcast) discuss:

Highlights from NBA Christmas Day games, and how hard these games are to watch with family obligations.
We shout out Kemba Walker and all the other NBA comebacks happening in light of so many players inactive at the moment.
LeBron and the Lakers are struggling with Russell Westbrook - We celebrate Westbrook as an "elder millennial fashion icon" before getting real about his inconsistencies as a player.
Adam Silver and his decision to keep the NBA going and shortening the health and safety protocol time for vaccinated players to 6 days, how Omicron is affecting the NBA, and how we feel about it.
All Star voting has begun, and we talk about the likelihood of many players being unavailable and who we could see as a potential "fringe" All Star this season.

In our Raptors Homer moment we talk about how we've missed this team, really sinking in how unfortunate the season has been so far. We reflect on the Cavs vs Raptors game with both pessimism and optimism, praising our player development system and hoping someone new will emerge.

Forgoing our Hot Girl Summer Nick Nurse Highlight of the week We have a Quote of the Week from a classic NBA mouthpiece.

This week, special guest Kris Myers joins host Comedian Cathryn Naiker to talk about how Omicron is taking over the NBA. Adam Silver's statement about how we have to learn to live with COVID and how that will affect players, coaches, and games throughout the season - how will this affect the playoffs?

Then we talk about Kyrie Irving and the desperate Nets, and how Kyrie was immediately put into Health & Safety Protocols once being cleared to play. How will he find a rhythm or play himself back into game shape only on the road?

Who is our sneaky team to make it to the finals or go deep in the playoffs, a team we didn't see coming?

In our Raptors Homer Moment we talk about games delayed and how frustrating it is to not be able to get into a rhythm between COVID and other basketball-related injuries.

Then, we talk about Gary Trent Jr and the unanimous most improved Raptor so far this season, and look back at the Norman Powell trade as ultimately a good trade.

In the Hot Girl Summer Nick Nurse Highlight of the week, we look back at the "Happy & Angry at Refs 2021" calendar Cathryn made for Kris!

Today, host Cathryn Naiker is joined by special guests, comedians Alan Shane Lewis and Leonard Chan join the podcast to discuss:

It's the unofficial start to NBA trade season! It's the time of year when most players who signed contracts in summer free agency become eligible to be included in deals... Aside from Ben Simmons, who do we want to see in a deal?
Then, Zion's injury setbacks have been delayed to return a second time after surgery on his foot in the offseason. Also, he is rumored to have gained more weight. How concerned are you and do you think we will see him play this year?
Then, players, teams, and broadcasters in health and safety protocols... should the NBA do anything different for the remainder of the season?

In our Raptors Homer Moment, we check in on the feelings of our guests and Raptors-lifers:

How do they feel about the season so far?
The arrival of Champagne Champagnie!!
What is time and space after all, and should we have just won that game against OKC?
Who else off the bench are you excited for this season?
Nav Bhatia missed his first-ever Raptors home game and Kal Penn took his seat. How sad are you that the streak finally ended?

Finally, in our Hot Girl Summer Nick Nurse moment of the week, our boy might be in some trouble.

#1424 - The Interview: Reggie Perry, Raptors 905 Forward

zarars@gmail.com — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 13:00:00 -0000

Andrew Damelin goes on location to Mississauga to meet Raptors 905 power forward Reggie Perry. Travel to Thomasville Georgia, where Perry became the top prospect in the state and the most unlikely homecoming king at Thomasville High. We go to Greece to discuss Perry's MVP showing with a stacked U19 USA Basketball Team, which featured Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes, and Jalen Suggs, ie, the top five picks in this year's draft. Perry also relives his NBA season in Brooklyn, from his vet/comedian Deandre Jordan, to the legendary work ethic of Kevin Durant.

Eager to shed the stigma of "taking plays off," Perry is grateful for landing in Mississauga, where he'll play for no-nonsense head coach Patrick Mutombo. Perry hopes to prove the critics wrong, starting tonight.

#1412 - The Interview: Raptors 905 Brass Edition. Patrick Mutombo, Head Coach. Chad Sanders, GM

zarars@gmail.com — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 13:00:00 -0000

Host Andrew Damelin went IN PERSON(!) to catch up with Raptors 905 Head Coach Patrick Mutombo and GM Chad Sanders on the second day of training camp.

Mutombo

Coach Mutombo has a striking presence and seriousness, even in audio form. Mutombo reflects on ways his approach may have to be tweaked going forward, before getting into the "first day of school" feeling of training camp. Mutombo recounts quizzing two-way players Justin Champagnie and David Johnson on DeMar DeRozan's scouting report ("don't jump on the pump-fakes!") before the Raptors' game against the Bulls, then watching as the young Raptors promptly bit on said pump-fakes. We also discuss the pain of cutting players, and the joy Coach Mutombo anticipates when he tells certain players they've made the team.

BONUS MOMENT: get ready for a Raptors 905 player screaming at the top of his lungs during our conversation. Mutombo's reaction is rather priceless.

Sanders

Now entering his fourth season as Raptors 905 GM, Chad gives us a rare dose of emotion when describing his love for the job. Chad recounts the best reactions he's gotten when informing 905 players that they've signed NBA contracts. Chad laughs wistfully (my interpretation) about the NBA-success of former 905ers Alize Johnson and Gary Payton II, and we get into the tiny margin for error Henry Ellenson had when he signed his 10-day with the Raptors last season.

zarars@gmail.com — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 11:00:00 -0000

To former UNLV Head Coach Dave Rice, Khem Birch is All-Defence, All-Motor and All-Loyalty. Coach Rice outlines why he was confident taking Birch into the fold after an ugly exit with his first college team.

Despite Birch admittedly being a shy person, Coach Rice beams about Birch's explosion in his leadership between his sophomore and junior seasons, not to mention his explosion in the stat sheet. Plus we go into the lockerroom after UNLV was upset in Birch's lone NCAA tournament appearance.

Despite going undrafted in 2014, Rice details why he knew then that Birch was going to have a "long and illustrious" career. Part of that is Khem's perseverant, team-first attitude. Another is his burning motivation to prove his ever-growing list of doubters wrong. Coach Rice is proud of every player he's helped make the NBA, but find out why, to him, no one is any more special than Khem Birch.

Then he discusses Wainright's rare appetite for knowledge and defence, and why he's among the top three leaders he's ever coached at Baylor. And get pumped for Coach Tang's signature play from Wainright at Baylor, which will evoke visions of Kyle Lowry.

And, of course, we re-live Ish's tearful Summer League press conference. Do your host and interviewee hold back tears of their own? Tune in to find out!

Ryan provides analysis of the Covid-19 outbreak, and is the author of some valuable risk assessment tools and frameworks used by several Ontario institutions.

We discuss:

- The quality of the guidance provided by the provincial government

- Target for the R0 metric
- Why it's so difficult to calculate the R0 metric in Ontario (hint: contract tracing)
- The failure to anticipate more symptomatic people in second wave than first

- South Korea and Ontario - same problem, two different solutions
- Data privacy and contract tracing; attitudes across cultures
- Ontario not encouraging use of the contact tracing app enough
- The lack of data to make informed decisions about what business to close
- Having an event outdoor isn't enough - example from states
- Doug Ford's looking for evidence that is impossible to collect
- Just how did we end up opening strip clubs, and what's even worse than strip clubs
- How much are schools contributing to the spike in cases

- Infections spreading to older population again with Thanksgiving coming up
- What would Ryan advise from a policy standpoint to curb the spread?

- A case count in March isn't the same as the same case count now, "700 now is like 3000 back in March"
- The manual work involved to contact trace a single case
- What needs to be true to play a Raptors home game at 25% capacity
- What are the chances of 1500 people showing up at the Scotiabank center and none of them having Covid?

#1191 - The Interview: Prof. George Dei

zarars@gmail.com — Fri, 28 Aug 2020 02:36:07 -0000

Host Zarar Siddiqi is joined by University of Toronto professor, George Dei. Prof. Dei is an author of several books focusing on education and has written extensively about the intersection of race, class and gender in the anti-racism discourse. He has a PhD. in anthropology from the University of Toronto, and a Masters in the same from McMaster University. He has taught at OISE and has won countless honours and awards.

With the backdrop of the players strike we discuss the course of action in the fight for social justice.

- Players responsibilities towards their communities given their stature
- Why is it the NBA players that are leading this charge and not social and government institutions?
- Pressuring politicians by attacking income generation
- Missed opportunity in Montgomery
- Protests that work, i.e., suffrage movement
- Continuing conversations at home and treating it as our problem, not black people’s
- How to help the powerless and marginalized?
- What are the responsibilities of the powerless and marginalized?
- Is voting the answer or is more dramatic action needed?
- Hard to see what a revolution looks like, but we know it has to be a collective.
- The importance of not being apathetic when change doesn’t come
- Something different is possible.
- Equitably sharing the resources across our communities while avoiding disproportionate negative outcomes.
- We can’t expect the players to do it – the owners have to step in.
- The oppressed acknowledging their own “existence” and avoiding fatigue.
- Rich neighborhoods and the lack of policing indicating a need to redirect resources.
- When we don’t acknowledge that we don’t have a policing problem, we become even more resistant to change.
- Inability to listen leading and the necessity of listening to people’s pain.
- Responsibilities for those who have power and those who don’t.
- “I am what I am because we are”.
- Addressing privilege without looking at it as a zero-sum game and “giving up privilege”.
- Courage – action in the face of fear.
- Rewarding the resistance for change instead of punishing it.
- Importance of younger generation speaking about environment, racial injustice, sexism , homophobia, classism and how that is productive for society; dangers of suppressing that voice.
- Spiritually and emotionally wounding implications of lack of change.
- The model of collective black leadership instead of a single person; importance of youth leadership.
- Social media raising awareness; social media wasting time.
- Looking beyond the US and at the intersection of Black Lives Matter in the African subcontinent.

#1036 - Mid-Series Check-Up - The Doctor Is In

zarars@gmail.com — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 10:12:00 -0000

It’s another action packed hour of podcasting with Phdsteve on The Dr Is In.To help make sense of the first 2 games of the Raptors/Warriors NBA Finals, Steve is joined by a couple of the usual suspects from his World Wide Round Table Podcasts that featured regularly on RR between 2013-15: Blair Miller, Steve’s brother Mike, & Greg Mason. Over the course of an hour the boys discuss:· Current mood: how do you feel about the Finals so far?· Golden State has now won a road game in 23 straight series. So Warriors winning game 2 in Toronto: big news, little news, or no news at all?· ESPN post-game & former players were impressed with how the Warriors battled to win game 2. Was that a big win for the Warriors? Would you agree with the description of the W as impressive?· Is Andre Iguodala the Robert Horry of this generation? Was Iggy’s 3 a series changing shot?· Injuries continue to pile up for warriors. Durant still out. Boogie just returning. Steph wasn’t 100% in game 2. Iggy hurt in game 1 and Klay & Looney couldn’t finish game 2. Big deal, little deal, no deal at all?· Kyle Lowry looked a bit unhinged in game 2. Fouling out and really giving very little offensively to his team. His playoff struggles have been well documented but it looked like he had moved past them: big deal, little deal, no deal at all?· The Golden State Warriors have only really outplayed the Raptors for 1 quarter of 8 (although they did win the 3rd quarter of game 1 by 1 point.· If you’re Nick Nurse, Steve Kerr- what adjustments do you make?· Who you got in games 3 & 4 or what do you expect to see and when the series comes back to Toronto for game 5?

Looking back through the archives, the first episode of The Dr Is In aired on Raptors Republic back in 2009 and its Phdsteve’s first podcast for RR since June of 2016!To celebrate the Raptors arrival in the NBA Finals, Steve is joined by a couple of the usual suspects from his World Wide Round Table Podcasts that featured regularly on RR between 2013-15: Blair Miller and Steve’s brother Mike (notably absent is Greg Mason). Over the course of an hour the boys share some of their favourite memories of the Raps from this season and from seasons past as they discuss just what being in the finals means to them. They also talk about Ujiri’s work, offering him kudos for doubling down to build a team that made it to the finals and apologize for all the stick they gave him in the early ears. There is a good discussion about Nick Nurse, his year, his in-game adjustment, his rotations and about where he stacks up against all the other coaches in the East.It’s a fun hour of banter as the boys walk through the journey: Orlando, Philly, and Milwaukee and have a peek over at the other side of the bracket (GSW 4 LAC 2, GSW 4 Houston 2, GSW 4 Portland 0) and discuss exactly where this Warriors team ranks in terms of all time NBA Dynasties (2000s Lakers, 90s Bulls, Showtime Lakers, Bird Celtics, Bad Boy Pistons, 60s Celtics). And yes, they do also talk about Kawhi, because how could you not.Enjoy the ride!
