Biggest Takeaways from Toronto Raptors Media Day | The Raptors are NORMAL again?! RJ Barrett on notice? w/ Vivek Jacob

The Toronto Raptors kicked off the 2025-26 NBA season with their annual Media Day on Monday! In Episode 1950, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in Seven) to talk about their biggest takeaways from Media Day as well as Bobby Webster's season-opening press conference on Friday. Off then top, they chat about how utterly normal this year's Media Day was, which is a breath of fresh air after the strangeness of the last couple years. Plus, they talk about the team's hyperfocus on defensive improvement, and why the importance of conditioning was another throughline of the day. Next, they revisit Bobby Webster's season-opening presser on Friday, and discuss Webster's comments on the roster likely looking different by season's end, and wanting more from RJ Barrett raised their eyebrows. Lastly, they play the Media Day Smell Test. Which platitudes delivered on Monday are worth putting stock into, and which were classic Media Day bluster. Discord: https://discord.gg/xnCs25TfSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYEnough with boring, flavorless caffeine, it’s time to give your caffeine a flavor upgrade with 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots.
