Nick Nurse on Game 1 Loss: “They shot a million free throws in the second quarter. It seemed like all of a sudden, it was free-throw time. I haven’t seen that in any playoff game all year, yet here, all of a sudden, there’s a parade to the free-throw line.”

  1. Pathetic statement from Nick Nurse, blames game 1 loss on New York free throws in the second quarter. This is coming from the guy who coaches Joel “Foul Merchant” Embiid. Please take some accountability for your team and try not to blame every loss on the referees, especially when the free throw differential was less than the final score difference.

  2. Isn’t this the guy who coaches his team to reach in and hack on every play because the officials won’t whistle every time. 😂

  3. Imagine complaining about a whistle when you have the most FT baiting merchant in the league

  4. unusually bad pr from nick nurse. guy cant admit he got outplayed by the knicks bench.

  5. You can’t be complaining about FTs when you got Embiid on your team. Nurse is an absolute clown.

  6. “I haven’t seen that in any playoff game this year,” he says on the first day of playoff games

  7. The one time New York has more FT attempts (NY-28 attempts, Philly-22 attempts) than the other team, in the playoffs no less, this is what the losing head coach says at the presser?

    Pathetic.

  8. We did get 6 more attempts at the line… but he’s acting like we were Wemby and the Spurs with a 36 FT to 12 FT differential.

    Embiid literally flopped on a hight five touch foul…stfu.

  9. “I haven’t seen that in any playoff game all year” bro, at that time there had been 2 other playoff games this year 💀

  10. Guys too used to his Center on the line slow rolling to a victory. Parade to the ft line, what a biitchhhhh

  11. Yeah it was the free throws, not the complete domination on the the offensive boards.

  12. Nick Nurse needs to stfu and focus on coaching his team. He’s constantly crying on the sidelines when things don’t go his way. 6 more attempts ain’t shit as a differential so stop crying you little bitch

  13. Just sounds like he doesn’t want to take accountability for why they lost. They feel they didn’t shoot as many free throws in the 2nd coincidentally the same quarter the biggest free throw merchant went down.

  14. This kind of reminds me of a Phil Jackson tactic. I expect to see a lot more of these remarks after every loss in this series.

  15. Whats this now like the third coach after Monty and Mazzulla to make a salty remark after a Knicks W against their team? Coaches hate us bc this team plays hard🤷‍♂️

  16. Wow this desperate already after game 1. Trying to appeal to officiating because he knows his team is cooked.

  17. Everyone is so exhausted after the Knicks beat them with bats for two hours that they can’t help but come out and say some butt hurt emotional shit afterwards lol
