In Episode 1157, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to break down the key storylines to watch in the Toront Raptors' series with the Philadelpihia 76ers. Off the top, they talk about James Harden and how his play could be the biggest swing factor in the series. Does he even have a chance of being the second-best player in the series ahead of Pascal Siakam? Or is Siakam clearly in another class right now? If Harden is cooked, this could be a tough series for Philly. Next, they talk about three-point shooting, which seems to hold outsized importance for a Raptors team with a whole lot of variability in that department. In particular, can the bench options of Thad Young, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher connect on their long range shots? And should Raptors fans even feel totally confident in their "knock down" guys like Gary Trent Jr., Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby? Lastly, they talk about how Achiuwa could be the single most important swing player in the series, why he should close games, and whether the Raptors should reorient their starting five to prevent themselves from bleeding points early in games?
