Sep 4, 2020, 17:35 EDTUpdated: Sep 4, 2020, 17:34 EDT
In this episode, Matthew Rodrigopulle and I discuss the Raptors’ struggles early on in their series against the Celtics, how the team can get cut the deficit, and comparing Pascal Siakam to Jayson Tatum. We also check in on the latest with the NBA and NHL playoffs, go over the Blue Jays deadline deals, and whether they can make the playoffs. In addition, we discuss the Kasperi Kapanen trade, which other Leaf will likely be on the move, and whether or not the time is ripe to deal away Frederik Andersen. At the end of the show, we redo the 2013 NBA draft and answer fan questions.
