Will and Alex discuss what the realistic expectations are for the Raptors this season and whether they’ve met them so far, and also if Immanuel Quickley is miscast as a starting point guard and the case for more Jamison Battle minutes. Later, they preview the Christmas Day schedule and chat about the struggling Cavs, the Spurs-Thunder rivalry, and Minnesota as a dark horse team in the West.
