Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

Eighteen games into the NBA season, the Toronto Raptors have a strange statistical profile, but which numbers have a chance to hold up all season long? In Episode 1757, Sean Woodley is joined by the Stats Queen of Raptors internet, Keerthika Uthayakumar, to run through some Toronto Raptors small sample numbers and discuss whether or not they have a chance to sustain all season, from their league-best offensive rebounding, their struggles in close games. RJ Barrett's home-road splits and more. Off the top, they chat about the Raptors' playing a league-leading number of close games, and whether or not it's likely they continue to hang in games and fall short more often than they win them. Plus, can they sustain being the number on offensive rebounding team in basketball? Next, they get into RJ Barrett's bizarre home/road splits and what exactly is going on with his bizarre statistical season, and whether the team's awful transition offense is going to stay awful all year. Lastly, they discuss Chris Boucher: the most sustainably unsustainable player in the world.
