In Episode 1162, Sean Woodley goes solo live from Scotiabank Arena moments after the Toronto Raptors lost a heartbreaker to Joel Embiid's Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of their first round playoff series. Off the top, Sean digs into the inevitabiltiy that comes with a star player as great as Embiid, the breakdown on the final defensive possession, and how that miscue undercut what was a really excellent defensive performance by the Raptors from start to finish, as they forced 22 turnovers and dared Embiid to beat them with tough shot making -- and he did. Sean also addresses how the offense dried up in the second half as the Sixers rolled out some heavy zone. Next, Sean runs through his notes on OG Anunoby, who was incredible, Precious Achiuwa, who had the game of his life before missing a pair of critical late-game free throws that could have sealed the win, Pascal Siakam, whose excellent defense gave way to a poor offensive showing and 0 second half points, and Fred VanVleet, who looks very, very tired. Please stop being dumb about Pascal Siakam. Please learn from very recent history, my god. Lastly, Sean fields some future-thinking questions from viewers of the live stream, and reflects on how the loss in Game 3, while heartbreaking, is a far cry from some of the other recent heartbreaks, and is actually kind of a necessary blow for a young team to suffer early in its trajectory. It's all good, man.
