The Raptors Digress

March 22, 2022 • 60 mins
The Raptors continue to be the weirdest, least knowable team in the NBA, and Eric and Holly try in vain to make sense of them while going off on wide-ranging tangents. Fred VanVleet's healthy is worrying, while Pascal Siakam's play is decidedly not.

Raptors Happy Hour

March 8, 2022 • 62 mins
