Skip and King are joined once again by coach and former D1 player Sean McCaw for a wide-ranging discussion on Ja Morant, Scottie Barnes, NBA money, social media and celebrity culture. We discuss whether the Grizzlies are self-immolating, whether the Raptors' struggles this season can be attributed to off-court distractions, and much more.

Skip and King discuss the Raptors' offensive improvement since the Jakob Poeltl trade (and more specifically since the calendar turned to March). We examine whether an uptick in passing and shooting is a fluke or a sign of a team finally rounding into form, break down why this might actually be a bad thing for Pascal Siakam, and then turn our attention to the Raptors' defense since the trade. Then we round out the episode with our predictions down the stretch run as we break down where we expect the Raptors to finish.

Skip and King bring on Jose Gomes from The Reece Report to discuss Fred VanVleet's epic takedown of referee Ben Taylor and discuss if the refs are to blame for Toronto's struggles on this road trip. We also talk about their struggles down the stretch of games throughout this season and wonder if they need a true closer.

Skip and King bring on Charlie Bender to talk about the Will Barton signing, evaluate how Barton has looked through two games in a Raptors uniform (hint: not great) and discuss if there's a way that Nick Nurse could better utilize his bench lineups to feature Barton and help fix some of the team's 3-point woes.

Skip and King discuss whether a Raptors squad that is finally healthy (sans Otto Porter) can make a real run down the stretch, what seed they could realistically hope to reach and whether they could potentially still have time to dodge the play-in tournament. Then we talk a bit about the massive impact that Jakob Poeltl has had through his first four games back with the Raptors and what that means for the team as a whole. Lastly, we close it out with a little bit of All-Star talk.
