This week on a special WEEKEND episode of the podcast, we are joined by now frequent guest and analytics guru Jacob Golstein of the BBall Index. We discuss the Raptors performance through two games in the ECF and look at what adjustments are needed to make this a competitive series. Does Nurse go to Ibaka in Game 3 over Gasol and does Lowry need to shoot more and even be more aggressive for the Raps to win the series? What should be the adjusted defensive game plan for the Raps to tie this series up two-two heading back to Wisconsin?
