October 20, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

Blake Murphy and Matt Bonner kick off the show with Tom Haberstroh to preview the start of the NBA season. They discuss the state of the Philadelphia 76ers following the addition of LeBron James, the team's biggest concerns, the depth of Philly's bench, the strength of its starting five, and why Tom is bullish on the Raptors this season. Later, Raptors guard Jamal Shead (27:18) joins the show to discuss the story behind his jersey number change, Toronto's growth and development, how last season's playoff run helped shape his game, working out with Jarrett Allen during the offseason, his reaction to the Raptors acquiring Kawhi Leonard, and what he's learned from him so far.
