Good start. Get MDA to run the offense.
Seems to be the consensus choice within the fanbase for the next HC. He hasn’t really been strongly linked to any of the other recently-vacated positions, thought for sure he’d land in Houston tbh. Kinda makes me think he’s angling for our vacancy.
good way to make sure embiid and harden are hurt by the playoffs
We should hire him, he’s the only coach that I feel like would push the players into being better and not let them do whatever they want on the court like iso ball and no defense, he also has actual gameplans and schemes unlike doc
Let’s Goooooo
I think he’s the best option of the 6 that have been mentioned. But looking from outside, it’s really hard to know. I just hope he’s someone who keeps players accountable in big games.
I’ve actually warmed up to this guy a lot recently. I feel like a coach with playoff experience is very important here, and Nurse seems to be a tier above Monty and Bud. Ideally you want D’Antoni in the staff as well to tackle the monumental task of reshaping our offense.

This guy sucks I don’t know why anyone is asking for this tool
that’s right baby
this week coming up. how about “next week”
This man is a basketball terrorist. And for that reason i want him
Overrated
Retread
I really don’t know if I can look at this dumb fucks face every game… Always has had the dumbest expressions that makes me want to sock him in the throat…
He’s seems like the best candidate and it seems like we all want him and for that reason I don’t want him lol. Just too… obvious. Since when does the sure shot, obvious pick at HC work? We need the obscure “Sirianni-esque” type of pick for HC. Not sure who that would be but someone most of us don’t know about or haven’t considered.
I feel like with Paul Reed, mcdaniels, melton etc he can field a very strong bench unit similar to his game plan with the Raptors of athletic longbois. No clue how the offense with the main unit will look but it will be better than glenn rivers that’s for sure.
I like it tbh
Don’t let him leave the building without his signature on a contract
Any weight in him being the first to be interviewed?
I would be totally fine with Nurse taking the helm
I want Bud. He lost because Giannis got hurt and missed 17 free throws. I think it would be a great hire. Wouldnt be suprised if this loser franchise hires Dantoni. Sucks being a fan of this team.
Would Joel listen to him?
Nurse is my pick. But tad concerned how early this is happening.
Meh.
I think he’s an upgrade on Doc, but not enough of one to fix this team’s problems.
The one season he had a superstar he won a championship. Ergo, Nurse = instant championship.
Seriously though, he got the most out of some pretty mediocre Raptors squads after that first year.
