S3 E14 – Second Chance Points/No Strength/Sexton Ate/Norman Powell Trade?/LaMelo Injury & ROY/MORE!

This episode is dedicated to a good friend of ours and a long-time fan of the show who was taken away from us too soon. Rest In Peace Philo 1995-2021.

Join The Faedaway boys this week as we dive into another unfortunate week for the Toronto Raptors. We can't seem to catch a break around the perimeter and seemed to be lacking in defence and giving up too many threes and second chance points. The defence needs to strongly improve and stop giving up rebounds. The guys then discuss their thoughts on the potential Norman Powell trade rumours and what that may or may not look like for the Raptors. Elsewhere in the league, the old and the new have fallen with LeBron James and LaMelo Ball both suffering some injuries. Will this default the Rookie of the Year (ROY) award to Anthony Edwards? Join The Faedaway for another action packed episode!

Join the Faedaway Boys as they delve into the past week inside the NBA. The Toronto Raptors finding themselves victim of a new back-to-back due to a postponed game. Their defence has been solid with Norman Powell and OG picking up a lot of the work aided by the phenomenal Raptors depth. The fatigue from travel and the back-to-back games have been proven troubling recently. Has Nurse been making too many adjustments? Elsewhere, Lloyd Pierce has just been sacked adding to the list of NBA coaches relieved this season. Finally, the boys get into the All Star player announcements....none for our Raptors this year!? Very disappointing...but not as disappointing as that Nuggets open lane mishap. What was that!? Don't miss this episode!
