Nazem Kadri + Raptors Red Flags w/ Matt Bonner

JD opens the show explaining one thing that makes sense about the Blue Jays offseason, before sharing his confusion about why the Raptors have the worst defensive rating in the NBA (00:00). Nazem Kadri, Calgary Flames forward and author of Dreamer: My Life On The Edge, joins JD to discuss why he got his book out before retirement, his battles for a spot and recognition in the NHL, showing personality in the league, Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel, how his tenure ended with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the level of modern trash-talk (15:00). JD touches on tonight's marquee Thursday Night Football game, before bringing on Matt Bonner, co-host of The Raptors Show, former Raptor and two-time NBA champion (45:00). JD asks Matt why the Raptors why they keep blowing fourth quarter leads, what we've learned about RJ Barrett, what's wrong with their defence, the most surprising improvements from Gradey Dick, and what the most intriguing question is when Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley return.
