Nick Nurse finally showed some over the top emotions and got a T before the end of the half. Woke himself up from a slumber then followed it up with some trash talking to his players in the locker room. Good for him.
Some already pointed out about having his team play some zone defense. Well done for lengthening it a bit to disrupt Memphis comfort inside the lane with those floaters that worked well for the Grizz in the first half.

It's funny when you watch the game at a bar and come home to read the last 15 pages on RR. A lot of funny in-game reactions like we've never seen a team come back from 10-15 down
It's the same every game, Never give up on this team!

At the quarter mark of the season:
Coach of the Year
Nick Nurse, Toronto Raptors — “It’s definitely unique,” Nurse told me of the situation he was entering when he was first hired as Dwane Casey’s successor. A first-time head coach usually doesn’t enter a season with expectations to reach the Finals while managing the on-and-off court challenges of incorporating a dominant talent like Kawhi Leonard to the existing framework of a winning organization.
Through his first 21 games at the helm of an NBA team, it’s safe to say Nurse has exceeded expectations. He’s been even-keeled and has earned his players’ respect early while managing to balance a deep roster worthy of playing time. Look no further than his fluid starting lineups and evolving rotations as proof that the Raptors are buying what Nurse is selling.
Dwane Casey, Detroit Pistons — Casey has done a great job getting the most out of Blake Griffin, who has stepped up as the Pistons’ veteran leader and best player. But beyond Griffin and Andre Drummond, it’s a fairly weak roster outplaying expectations at 10-7. Look no further than Detroit’s dramatic buzzer-beating win in Toronto to see the extent to which Casey already has his players responding to him.
Mike Budenholzer, Milwaukee Bucks — He’s totally re-worked the Bucks’ offence, transforming them from a team that shot the 25th-fewest three-pointers last season to the second-most of any team so far this season. Budenholzer has also managed to somehow get even more out of Antetokounmpo than ever. Like Nurse, he’s been masterful at balancing a deep roster while also exhibiting excellent late-game play calling.Last edited by G__Deane; Wed Nov 28, 2018, 10:30 AM.
