Raptors Eliminated From NBA Cup, McMann Suspended & Cease Speaks!

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Wednesday’s show recapping the Raptors’ disappointing loss to the Knicks in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. They assess what the game revealed about the Raptors’ place in the Eastern Conference, the impact of injuries to RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, concerns around Jakob Poeltl, and Brandon Ingram’s ongoing inconsistencies. They also outline what they hope to see from the Raptors when they return to action on Monday. The boys then shift to Bobby McMann’s one-game suspension for a high stick and whether it was justified. After the break, they react to Dylan Cease’s introduction by the Blue Jays and what his comments signal for the organization. They examine John Schneider’s remarks about IKF and his lead at third in Game 7 of the World Series, raising questions about coaching accountability. The hour wraps with discussion about Edwin Díaz signing with the Dodgers, Kyle Schwarber returning to the Phillies, and the broader implications for the free agent market, before celebrating Shai Gilgeous-Alexander winning the Northern Star Award.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
