    My lasting impression of Nick Nurse is that he was a good Coach that got to preside over both a very talented roster that won a Chip and very mediocre rosters that fell short. Still ended up with a very good winning percentage and left on his own terms. I wish him well even though he's now the enemy. Standing O when he's introduced and booed thereafter

    What is everyone lasting impression of Nick Nurse ? If he didn't have that final week's press conference in which he told
    everyone he might quit he might have had a unblemished mark on his image .. He could have been the victim if the end
    result is he got fired ..

    Lol Nick's thread was moved to the NBA forum to die.

    He thanks Toronto on IG.

    i think you misinterpreted... he was saying that laker fans shouldn't freak out about losing to denver because he thinks denver is the best team of the last 5 years, not that the lakers were better than any team of the last 5 years. and he never mentions the raptors
    I thought they were talking about the 2019 Warriors in the podcast

    Listening to Bill Simmons .. He thinks this years Lakers team was good .. They would have beat the 2019 Raptors ..

    And Lavar Ball thinks he would’ve beaten MJ. None of these theoreticals matter.

    Kyle's headed to the finals again. Glad to see the Celtics lose. The talking heads were so sure they would beat the Heat. Kyle has been pretty solid in a lot of these games. I admit I haven't watched them all.

    The next pipe dream of Masai
    Man, I hadn't heard Drake's name in a couple of months and it was nice. He pretty much disappeared when the bright lights turned off the Raptors. Maybe the "Global Amb ass ador" can find time to do more than tweet out photos now ......

    I've always maintained that when these young Canadian stars start entering unrestricted free agency or are just fed up with their current teams, that's when Toronto becomes a free agent/ star destination.

    Realistically take any of the great wing players from Team Canada and put them in a Raptors jersey and we are in a different position.
    Murray
    Shai
    Mathurin
    Sharpe
    Barrett
    Wiggins

    So if Shai is the pipe dream, then I'm going to keep hitting that pipe.

    The West is getting old and/or injured fast; lebron/Davis, Kawhi/PG, Curry/Klay, Durant/CP can't play forever and Jokic/Murray aren't unbeatable.

    Shai is in a great place there actually, not sure why he'd want to come to Toronto with what would be left of this roster....

    True true, but you never know, he may one day ask that he wants to go home

    A Tyrese Maxey or SGA beside Scottie would be a nice 1-2 punch

    I'm hopeful but the jury is still out as to whether he can be a top 15 in the league type guy and I don't think we'll find out with both Fred and Siakam here. Masai has to make changes.
