"I was deciding on whether or not I was going to change your question into the answer I want, but hear me out. I don't know how else to say it. Nick Nurse is on the market after blowing that lead, no doubt. That's what's up. Next season we're gonna turn up." Rockets GM Rafael Stone when asked about Raptors being eliminated by Bulls in playins
I am deciding on whether or not I am going to believe that quote, but hear me out. I don’t know how else to say it. If Rafael talks like that now, next season we’re going to turn up, no doubt. That’s what up.
Are we going to, next year, turn up? With Nurse? Atkinson perhaps? Borrego? Next year will turn up the most. With those who can never be turned down.
Very strange game. I don't know how much to blame Nurse? Bulls had vey poor 3 pt shooting (26.9 %) and was outrebounded (36 to 50) but was successful at FTs: 18/22. 81 % Raptors missed 18 FTs, just scoring 18 out of 36. Siakam scored 32 points but was 5/11 FTs, FVV scored 26 but was 3/6 FTs. I wanted Raptors to lose due to Nurse's availability but every HC would fail if your team miss 18 FTs in play-in game. Hope Nurse signs for Rockets.
