Disspelling the myth that Nick Nurse doesn’t run good stuff.

The best thing about “Elbow” if you imagine it being ran for us, is that while the screen into the curl is happening, that’s Joel Embiid and not Marc Gasol. What have we been complaining about? Double and triple teams, well that won’t happen with the floor spread out and the secondary action. Joel can go right to work if he wants.(although I also want Embiid to make the read on these cuts and passing it at times, to keep the defense guessing.)
It’s a two play read for the Raptors, but for us it’s a three play read due to Joel’s gifts.
I could even see Tobias if he’s still here getting more of an opportunity to be an off-ball player, well provided he actually moves his ass.
The Nurse doesn’t run good stuff is just rubbish from a lot of the casual raptor fans lol
Dude has the best playbook in the NBA. He’s just hamstrung with a terrible roster last year. Siakam is his best player who is a borderline all star at best, FVV is a below average starting PG (no really, those who want him to replace Harden are nuts) , and OG is a super role player but is limited. They also had no bench basically
Nurse with superstars will be a sight to behold when he’s made that raptors team win 50+ games post-Kawhi
And I like what you mentioned about Tobias. Dude has been slandered pretty badly here but he’s also been a victim of being boxed into a 4th option role. I do see him being put into better positions to succeed and produce more prolifically. But who I’m really looking forward to improving is really Reed and Maxey. They’ll explode as players under Nurse IMO
