Fred VanVleet's fine, Pascal Siakam's slump & defining success for the Raptors over the final 15 games w/ Vivek Jacob
In Episode 1357, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to react to Fred VanVleet's slap-on-the-wrist fine, discuss Pascal Siakam's recent slump and preview the final 15 games for the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about the $30K penalty handed out to VanVleet for his incredible undressing of Ben Taylor and the NBA's officiating before discussing exactly what success might look like for the Raptors between now and the end of the season. How does the season-long search for a sensible hierarchy, along with the progression of Toronto's struggling offense play into the question of success? And how could the outcomes over the next 15 game determine the futures of key members of the team, like Pascal Siakam? Next, they chat about Siakam's slump in the games since Jakob Poeltl's arrival, whether this is short term pain that will bear fruit in the long term, or if it's possible that his lessened impact as a less dominant on-ball player could portend a summer deal that sees the franchise's most notable star moved elsewhere? Lastly, they examine the types of results they need to see to deem the close to the year a success, if that's even possible at all, and check the temperature on their confidence in the front office's ability to thread the needle this off-season in what is going to be a pivotal summer for the franchise.
