Did you hear Trents exit interview ? He basically said hes tired of Nurse bashing him in the media....

Your objective semi-troll

"Defrozen" "lol Casey" they get rid of both. Now it's "b-b-b-but why you trade him. no loyalty" "why they fire him"
Same shyt with Nurse now.
You say this like almost every single defensive scheme can't be beaten by moving the ball or having an elite ISO scorer(s).
Coaches aren't magicians, they can't magically make players better, or beat a team with more talent or beat a team with less advantages. That's on the players, themselves. With the spacing in today's league, throwing out "gimmick" defenses is virtually what you have to do to have success on that end. Otherwise, you hope your organization has managed to acquire at least one generational defender to where you aren't forced into being elaborate on that end.
We've just seen BK endlessly throw doubles at Embiid throughout the 1st round, and although they're down 0-3, they've nullified him and kept him out of the contest (due to how whimsical his energy can become and his limited playmaking ability) and it's been their one and only fighting chance. It has diluted Philly's offense and brought them down to a relative level. Problem is, they've also got someone like Maxey who can get his in any situation and the Nets don't have anyone as capable to counter that. It's not like Jacque Vaughn can keep scheming players out of the contest.
Why do you always tell on yourself?
You said Jalen Suggs is better.
Despite however flawed Scottie is, he's still infinitely better than that bum in Orlando who's managed to escape scrutiny because nobody pays attention to what the Magic are doing. I don't know who you think you're fooling with this.

When did I say that?
I said Suggs will be an allstar (I still believe that) he’s just gotta stay healthy and get an opportunity.
I said I don’t see it with Scottie ( I still don’t)
Ironically I think both their careers would have been better off had been they drafted to one another’s respective teams…

I don’t see how a dude can win a title, get coach of the year & be “trash”. You Raptor fans sound delusional as fukk.
If anything the GM should be fired for labeling OG & Scotty as untradeable

I'll explain it to you in a bit.....
Nurse, if we are being real, has some fatal flaws as a coach. Those things showed up in bright neon lights this year. Ultimately, the Raptors organization has always been about internal development under Masai and Nurse failed at developing any of our players over the last two years. Everyone regressed this season, the play style was ugly, the defensive scheme was nonsensical, the offence was iso-centric despite having poor isolation players, minutes were mismanaged on almost a nightly basis leading to late game collapses, and bench players were inexplicably moved in and out of the rotation. I knew he was gonna get fired by how long it took for Masai to schedule this press conference.I knew something was coming with the Masai press conference and Nurse outburst about his future which was u provoked let you know what time it was.
I management should be next because this whole roster of 6’8 guys who all do the same thing isn’t working. We need to do a rebuild ..
@Miggs @jdubnyce @MikelArteta @Guess Who and the rest of the raps gang, it’s a new day
I also think he lost the room. Siakam doesn’t seem to vibe with Nick. Fred doesn’t seem to like how the team has evolved. Scottie, who is the hope of the franchise, seemed like a guy Nick didn’t really like that much. I’m sure Gary isn’t a fan of Nick. I imagine our young players aren’t a fan because they never get a chance to play consistently.
Which brings me to a point that was probably the dealbreaker for Masai. It’s clear that Masai feels that one or two of these g-league guys can play in the league. But whether or not they can play, we have spent two years not being able to find out because Nurse wouldn’t play them. And if Nurse doesn’t play them then they can’t be evaluated against NBA competition so it’s impossible to know if they should be moved or retained. Maybe some of those guys can develop well enough to add to a trade or make space to trade someone else? Who knows? We don’t. And I’m sure that this contributed greatly to the move.
Personally, I thought Nurse deserved a year or at least half a season to redeem himself but Masai and them probably had enough reason and enough history to make the move. I ain’t mad at it.
I hope whoever takes over this team can play the style suited to this roster…fast, uptempo, transition basketball with free flowing offence based on ball and player movement and switching everything on D (except for Poetl).
I still think that Nurse didn’t truly commit to the lengthy wings thing and I still believe it’s a strategy that can work. But even if it can’t, Nurse didn’t lean into it at all. Can’t keep your job if you don’t give the boss an opportunity to see if the experiment they’re trying can be successful. It just seriously undermines your boss’ ability to do their jobs.
Bang on
You don’t watch Raptors games.

I’ve met Masai in person—he’s got a lot of nervous energy in general. Probably has some anxiety in crowds.Seems like a scapegoat move by the gm, cause that team has been mid as fukk since Kawhi left
Life comes at you fast I guess, champions with uriji and nurse getting hyped as some of the best GM and coach in the league to the team being in shambles and nikkas getting fired
And does Uriji always sound like he did in the press conference, don’t remember him sounding like he need a public speaking class. Breh must be nervous as shyt
