Shorthanded Raptors pull out gritty win vs. Bulls & what about Gary Trent Jr.? w/ Jamar Hinds

In Episode 1566, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to break down the Toronto Raptors' gritty, fun, 118-107 win over DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. Off the top, Sean and Jamar rattle through some of the most fun elements of the Raptors' losing skid-snapping loss, including another scoring outburst from Jordan Nwora, and some heady play by the Raptors' bench guard duo of Bruce Brown and Dennis Schroder, thrust into starting duty by the Raptors' injury situation, as well as the promise of good vibes and solid play that should only be amplified by the returns of Jakob Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. Next, Sean and Jamar chat about Gary Trent Jr.'s excellent 24-point night to cap a red-hot month of January, and whether they'd prefer to see the Toronto Raptors keep GTJ through the trade deadline, or use his recent surge to sell high on him at the NBA Trade Deadline. Lastly, Sean and Jamar run through the Good (Thad Young, the Raptors' shot profile), the Bad (Dennis Schroder's turnovers, the results that SHOULD have come from running out a Nwora-Young-Temple-Dick-McDaniels lineup that ended up being a +6!) and The Hmmm (an impassioned debate on the race for the last two Eastern conference play-in spots and whether it's good or bad) to round out the show.
