I think when he said he didn't realize Kawhi played so little, that his shookness was confirmed.

Nurse needs some husky assistant-coach support this year. He may be a talented X's and O's guy, but he needs some chest haired Phil Handy-ness and whoever else he got to sometimes say, "hey, time to throw that spreadsheet away coach, we need to have our best guys out there more so we can out-muscle the opponent here, otherwise they gonna beat us"

The Raptors should still win this series no problem. In fact, they should EASILY win the next 4 games. But this is the Raptors we're talking about so you never know what to expect. But just going by trend, what happened the last 5 years, here's what to expect in these playoffs:
1. Lowry's gonna choke in the playoffs(it happened already). Expect more games like that.
2. The Raptors are going to get BLOWN OUT a lot on the road.
3. They're going to look like a dominant team at home.

i saw clifford's speech after they made the playoffs....this guy knows how to coach....I can't imagine Nurse like that

People want a win in a dominant fashion. I’ll just take a win. Sometimes the team that fights through obstacles and hardships make it farther than the teams that look dominant early on.
obstacles are great but a counter point is often times the team that struggles against the welterweights in the first round gets rolled up when they met the heavyweights. We've seen enough Raptors ball in this era to know if we struggle with Orlando in 7 games it's not a recipe for success against Milwaukee
also, we need to make a statement for future. Magic are now super loose with house money and they (like everybody else in the nba world) are aware of our narrative and do not fear the raptors. A non-last minute win does a lot for both teams mentality as we switch to disneyworld9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
