No Jakob Poeltl, no chance for the Raptors vs. Thunder -- but at least Jonathan Mogbo rules

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors, down Jakob Poeltl, got it handed to them by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders' team stomped the Raps 129-92 to snap Toronto's two-game winning streak. In Episode 1764, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the loss and where the absence of Poeltl was most felt, review Jonathan Mogbo's career-high 17-point night in another round of Toxic Positivity Friday, Chris Boucher's struggles, hard lessons and more. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' struggles adapting to live without Jakob Poeltl, who missed the game with an illness, and without whom Toronto's offense had very little chance of getting much going against a suffocating Thunder defense. Next, Sean keeps Toxic Positivity Friday rolling with a look at Jonathan Mogbo's 17-point night in which he flashed all kinds if micro-skills that make it easy to let your imagination run wild. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (the importance of getting smoked once in a while), The Bad (Chris Boucher's magic waning) and The Hmmm (the Thunder's enviable but irreplicable team build) the close out the show.
