>As the club wrapped up its Tuesday afternoon practice session, team president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster looked on from the middle of the gym.
>It’s hard to gauge which direction they’re heading in.
Also had this interesting quote from Siakam about the team’s performance:
> “It’s easier said than done to be positive when you’re losing, especially if you care about the game the way that I do,” said Siakam. “I come in, I take it really seriously and I work very hard and I put everything into this; this is what I do every single day. And I want to win, I want a reward from it and when you don’t get it it’s hard to be positive. But that’s what we have to do. We have to stay together.”

Did everyone grow closer?
Given he frequently shits on his players publicly I can’t imagine what he says privately lol
Oh boy…
Yet he won’t call out fvv
He will call out Boucher, Scottie, Trent but not his golden boy mr worst field goal % in nba
Anyone think Nurse even has the balls to tell FVV he’s ass? He torched everyone to the media except FVV who has been shooting tour dates for a calendar year.

i never like the i work hard quotes, mainly because when you’re losing it kinda comes off as well i’m working hard, idk about these other guys, see fred over there idk if he working like i am
the craziest part is they’re playing like 7 guys, starters like 36-40 mins a night, yet 20th on defense? weird
“you’re a bum. you’re a bum. you’re a bum. siakam you’re cool. the rest of you are bums”
i hope that he actually talked his shit towards van vleet cause that man is hot trash rn
Is Nurse starting to wear out his welcome in Toronto?
If you watched the type of effort half the team plays with on defense this season compared to last, feels like Nurse’s impact might not have the same effect on some of the roster
every meeting was just dedicated to laughing st how trash vanvleet is
We’ll take OPJ off your hands if y’all blowing it up
Let the Raptors fire sale begin!
[Lewenberg] Nurse spoke on his meeting with Fred “It was short, told him to keep it up, he’s been an incredible tank commander, I love him with all my heart”
Oh no! We’re the dumpster fire this season!
I don’t understand.. a below average roster is playing below average basketball.
What did they expect ?
The craptors FO has assembled a terrible roster so no one should be surprised
Lmao he holds parent teacher conferences.
Nurse: “ look, we aint doing well. How about we tank for Wemby?”
Players: “ oh, helllll nooooo!”
I’m interested to see what Masai could do with a total fresh start after blowing up this roster. They’d definitely get some picks back for Siakam, not sure what they’d get for FVV, and OG would get them picks too if they chose to move him but still only being 25 wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to hang onto him.
With their ability to scout and develop wouldn’t surprise me at all if just after a couple of years they’re right back to deep playoff runs
I think Nick has lost the locker room. I also think he is an overrated coach. He hasn’t been better than Casey outside of the year they had Kawhi
He may have lost the room
When is the ping ping table being installed/removed?
Nurse is the one coach i would actually expect is deeply into Scientology.
Time to blow it up
Probably sick of playing 42 minutes a game when they’re down 20
The countdown to the trade deadline intensifies.
Damn raptors not taking be average for once well. Something tells me nurse is kinda a cunt
