Are the Raptors fun again?! Takeaways from a tight loss to league-best Cavs

The Toronto Raptors looked like the Fun Bad team we grew to love in the first month of the season with a hard-fought 132-126 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. In Episode 1783, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the loss to Cleveland, detail what set this loss apart from most of the Raptors' recent Ls, check in on how the starting lineup fared in their third game together, and sing the praises of Chris Boucher and Jamal Shead's efforts off the bench. It wasn't a perfect performance by the Raptors, especially on the the defensive end, but this one featured all kinds of things to get stoked on -- including Scottie Barnes going toe-to-toe with Evan Mobley, and a much sharper offensive attack than we've seen in recent games. That's a loss you can live with. Join us on the Discord: https://discord.gg/x3gwEszpLocked On Raptors Newsletter: https://newsletters.lockedonpodcasts.com/nba/raptorsYour favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
