Everything Nick Nurse

Can we give Nick Nurse some credit? Its a make or miss league, but he generates great open 3s in his offense. Also we saw some very good ball movement and plays today. The play where theres a double screen up top (Lowry being the 2nd screener) always leads to good results: Kawhi got a wide open dunk.

Yeah I wanna give some props to Nick on this one. I've been critical, but he did the right things on this Celtics game, anchored/staggered bench units with started, and the defence looked crisp. Kudos.

Highly unlikely around here. Coaches don't matter in wins and are the cause of all issues in losses ..... Nurse play generates tons of open looks but until recently, we were 26th in made threes % .....getting a ton better ecently

I thought that was an extremely well coached game. Every time Boston looked like they were going to pick up a little momentum, Nurse adapted with a time out, switched coverage or a substitution. Boston has some good personnel. You can't keep them down for a whole game, but you can adjust quickly if your players are healthy. Keep it up Nick.

Nurse on Lin and Gasol after practice this morning:

“There were maybe five situations in the film room today where we were going over stuff we weren’t sure we’ve quite gone over with those guys. Defensively, mostly,” Nurse said. “There’s so many little things that you’re doing when you’re switching, and this, and that, and you’re over, you’re picking up at this point, and you’re not picking up at this point. So, a lot of nuances there that we continue to teach them.

“I thought we had a good learning day. Not only for the short term but the long term. We did a lot, a lot of film today on a lot, a lot of topics. Some on last night, some tomorrow night, and some not related to last night or tomorrow night — relating to the long term.”

Awesome. Now continue to play Lin & Gasol along with Danny/Siakam/Kawhi, instead of Norm/McCaw/Meeks, so they can implement all this film learning on the court
