Could the Toronto Raptors hurt themselves by overreacting to the playoffs? | The Over-Index Index w/ Vivek Jacob

from Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors · host Locked On Podcast Network

The Toronto Raptors surpassed expectations by taking the Eastern Conference finalist Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games in the first round of the playoffs -- but do they need to avoid overreacting to it? In Episode 2111, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob play a Stupid Little Game called The Over-Index Index, breaking down the ways in which the Raptors front office could in theory overreact to what we saw in the playoffs throughout this offseason, and how damaging said overreactions could be. They talk about Scottie Barnes showing out and looking like The Dude in round one and why the Raptors can't fall into the trap of thinking he can do what he did on both ends of the floor sustainably over the course of a full season. Next, they talk about the team following up a season of struggling against good opponents by hanging close with the Cavs in the games that matter most, and whether there's a way the front office could over-index on that small sample. Plus, could an overreaction to RJ Barrett's playoffs lead to him landing a lucrative contract extension? And in the other direction, is there a risk of the Raptors reacting too strongly to Brandon Ingram's brutal postseason showing?  Discord: https://discord.gg/sAxGc82W Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
