"I thought we could have played better and be coached better." That was a helluva a mic drop from Nick at the end of his presser in describing the Toronto Cleveland series.

Nick also needs Raptors' media team to coach him with media sessions. I'm shocked he looks as uncomfortable as he did.

Someone asked what Nick would have done differently in the Cavs series.
Nick pretty much dances around the question and compares our series to the finals (losing game 1)
Says players could have played better and coaches could have coached better..

Anyone expecting Masai to give answers about the roster right now is kidding themselves.... we don't even have a pick and it is so early in the process

2018 My Top Guys (no particular order): Doncic, JJJ, Zhaire Smith, Miles Bridges, Knox, Wendell, Bamba, Ayton, Sexton, Brown, Huerter, Okogie, Svi,

That was just a question a ****y person asks. He's pretty much asking him to carve up Casey publicly. Everyone knows it's going to be a dodge, so why waste a question on an answer you know you'll get?

Yeah.We all understood the presence of hierarchy exists whenever there is an "assistant" manager. But it sure is nice to hear it from Nick.

I'm wait and see on Nurse, but if the roster doesn't change, let's just say I'm not expecting a better season.

Re: Nurse Intro Presser Thread (UPDATE: Stream link/2:30 PM EST)
is it normal to have like 3 questions in this presser?
interesting he said a few times we are going to try some new things.....on defense. He didn't really get into the offense that much other than how they sort of know what they want it to look like based on last year.

Not really. What's he supposed to say, "yeah my ideas didn't work this series. It's not just Casey."

Re: Nurse Intro Presser Thread (UPDATE: Stream link/2:30 PM EST)
Masai's body language was really bad. He just didn't look overly thrilled or enthusiastic.
And I don't think we have any clue what will happen to this roster based on this conference. They did mention the playoffs, but I don't think anyone expected them to come out and say, "we are blowing it up and going in another direction." Because they probably aren't sure what type of moves/trades will come up. We've all heard the reports that we are open for business via trades, so I think that is still very much on the table. But it's way too early really know what will happen.

Sigh. I know he can't really give specifics and doesn't want to openly criticize Casey, but he gave no solutions whatsoever.
I remember watching that Cleveland series and nurse had the half time interview and basically shrugged his shoulders and said we need to play better.
Unless we make big changes to the roster, I'm done supporting Masai.
