Toronto Raptors win first of two vs. Atlanta Hawks as Big 3 & Precious Achiuwa stand out

In Episode 1535, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 135-128 win over the Atlanta Hawks in a game that saw the Raptors' defense struggle once again outside of a handful of critical moments. Off the top, Sean digs into the defense faltering once again, and how it was saved by some timely defensive stops by Jakob Poeltl, and some stretches of excellent defensive work by Precious Achiuwa. The offense seems to at least have a plan, can the defense tap into the gear it seemingly can still reach in its best moments more regularly to help steady the ship? Next, Sean digs into another strong night for the Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby trio, their imrpessive numbers as an on-court trio this season, and why as trade season looms, a move away from one or two of the three will not be indicative of what those three guys are capable of and much more an indictment of the rest of the roster build. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (not being the Hawks), the Bad (the starters being TOO good) and the Hmmmm (Darko mixing up his rotations a little!) to round out the show.
