The Toronto Raptors FINALLY saw their starting five of Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl play together, and it was a bit of mixed bag! In Episode 1962, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap a 110-108 preseason loss to the Boston Celtics with a focus on the three shifts the starters got to play with one another. Off the top, Sean digs into how after a brutal start with some ugly offense and disconnected defense, the Raptors starters found some semblance of footing in the second and third quarters. There's simply too much talent here for it not to be a passable lineup. Next, Sean digs into Scottie Barnes 3/13 effort that brings his preseason shooting line to an ugly 6/30. Is it possible Barnes has simply become the worst finisher in the history of pro basketball? No, probably not, but he's certainly gotta start connecting if the starters are going to hit their ceiling. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (starters plus bench guy looks), The Bad (The Celtics!) and The Hmmm (the Raptors' positively normal three-point volume in the preseason).
