Why the Toronto Raptors can take advantage of a terrible Eastern Conference and be a Top-6 team
The Eastern Conference is a complete mess, and the Toronto Raptors seem to be inching towards returns for their two most important offensive players; is surprise climb into the East’s Top-6 a total pipedream, or a distinct possibility? In Episode 1744, it’s Toxic Positivity Friday, where Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to talk about Immanuel Quickley nearing a return and what it means for a Raptors team that’s dying for their three-point launching point guard’s skillset, whether a healthy version of the Raptors can parlay its early-season depth discovery into a run up the shambolic Eastern Conference on the back of an offense that has a chance to be very good, and why though it might defy the preseason tanking edict, it would in fact be a good thing for the Raptors to make a jump to playoff status. How much will Quickley’s return help solve some of the recurring issues the 2-7 Raptors have faced? Are there any teams in the Eastern Conferenc to truly be feared outside of the Cavs and Celtics? All that and much more on today’s show!

Which of the 12 non-Cavs, Celtics or Raptors teams in the East scare you?
Let the Raps stay at the bottom this year develop… All that glitters isnt gold… Stock pile with getting a top 6 pick!!❤❤ Instead of the bucks or someone else tanking and snagging our pick!
The Eastern Conference may be a relatively weak one, particularly when compared to the West, but with the Raptors’ having put up this regular season a 2–7 record, I remain unconvinced these Raps will string together enough wins of consecutive games to climb to 10th or higher in the East.
I mean never say never, we will see once we have a healthy team (if that ever happens)
Love the show, Sean! I'm a pretty positive fan, but I think I'm on team tank this year 🙂 Keep up the great work!
