Nick Nurse PostGame Interview | Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers

Away somebody I know it’s hard to Gan much when you’re missing for out of your five starter but what are kind of are there things to still take away or what do you take away from yeah I mean it’s it’s um you know it’s first of all it’s

It’s a tough one obviously I mean I think that um this isn’t like this is always it’s always hard coming back off the the trip that first game back is always difficult um and we didn’t just seem to have much much juice life or anything um certainly

Didn’t execute some of the stuff we wanted to defensively right wait you were asking me for positive stuff I mean obviously obviously sorry let me get out of that for a minute uh I mean obviously um uh you know I thought I thought um Turk and Ricky came in obviously two guys with

The with a bunch of energy again I thought I thought FK played a decent game uh and I thought Jaden played a pretty good game as well so there is you know there is a little bit getting those guys some kind of serious minutes up up

Over 20 for all those guys and and um not a whole lot positive to take from it but that’s that’s the one thing since you asked appreciate that starters besides Joel who didn’t play you have yeah well Tobias is uh got a got a is a illness so hopefully that’ll

That’ll uh get better quick right it’s a different illness than he had just last week so hopefully that’ll that’ll get better quick uh Nico gets evaluated again tomorrow um melt has been on the court I think he certainly will be on the court again tomorrow but I don’t know how

Close he is yet um but he is out there doing workouts and and moving pretty good um Cub’s going to be a while I don’t know got any other names for me a few more guys there yeah Paul started the game but Mo up playing just a little bit more than him

Yeah both those guys Paul was Paul was a little under the weather tonight so we were trying to trying to limit his minutes um Mo got in there and got a little banged up so it was it was a it was a tough one Manpower night I mean

Still don’t like to use any excuses about about anything we still should have tried to you know play a little better especially at the defensive end and get up and and guard the three-point line better we just obviously gave up way too many and way too many open ones

Speaking of the three-point line and I know you always say it’s kind of like the football analogy but when you look at the three-point disparity and you consider not having Joe do you maybe consider maybe leaning more towards trying to generate more threes in this

Situation yeah I mean I think that um uh you know I think we were certainly planning on um shooting more through East but I think you know this happened to us a couple times that when we go into the game understanding we may have to we may have to answer from three

Or beat a team from three like like we played Minnesota with some guys missing and figured they were so long we’d have to shoot over the top of them the opposit here a little bit is but they they play a pretty restricted paint game

So you got it once you get it in there you should be able to get them out and I thought early we just took two quicker ones and nobody made them right we we were just quick and not that open they’re open but not that open you know

Not probably could have generated much better ones um got us off to a really slow start from the three-point line um yeah and then I we were just chasing the game from there so it wasn’t wasn’t a whole lot happening on anything yeah and Kelly

Kind of maybe know they got to carry a lot of the offensive Logan and all the guys that are out like did you see them forcing anything at all or just how what did you um I mean listen I think that you know we’re going to we’re going to

Ask Tyrese to do whatever he can do right I think that um I mean he drove in five or six times early in the game didn’t really have anything to show for it no free throws no no buckets so I me I thought he was getting you know

Jostled pretty hard so that that kind of hurt his start right there um yeah and kelly didn’t get a whole lot of Great Looks usually he’ll get he’ll get some downhill um a little bit more open they were pretty challenged tonight they were doing a lot of switching putting putting

Bigger guys on him um and obviously he didn’t hit you know from the outside tonight he had some opportunities there as well we did you know did get to the free throw line a little bit draw some contact kept playing um but those two guys are probably our best two scorers

In a game with this this group right and just can’t they just you know what is that total there that’s like 9 for 37 or something that’s just not not close to being good enough and it wasn’t like they weren’t trying they were trying to do do the right things and again just

Not a lot of juice from our guys tonight as long as after while is out it seems like it’s likely tyres will get more of those looks where he’s bringing the ball up they Blitz in your half court what do you guys have to do to take advantage of

Those looks and overall how you feel like you did them yeah I mean the biggest thing is you guys hear me say this all the time is we got to we got to make the right play right and if there’s two on the ball there’s got to be

Somebody open and we should be getting you know great shots against that right and it’s just a matter of you know uh I think I think we’re pretty good at handling it you know we’ we’ve handled the blitzing versus tyes really well all year now we got to make sure the group

That’s out there now can do it as well and then you’re just going to have to you just going have to knock them down yep let go

  1. Jeez, this team is a lottery team without Embiid (4-10), 22nd in offence. Even Simmons managed smash these guys without even attempting a shot. What a disgrace! Didn’t Simmons himself carry a similar group of nobodies to 15+ straight victories in 2016 without Embiid. What the heck is tiny Maxey doing?
