Nick Nurse talks 76ers, Caitlin Clark Olympics snub, Celtics – Mavs NBA Finals | NBA | THE HERD

[Music] listen you you know all about Boston you have faced them porzingis I people don’t watch Washington porzingis had a great year at Washington how do you match up with him when you’ve got Tatum and Derek white I I to me when I’m watching the television Nick I think porzingis is just a problem to face he certainly is he uh first of all you get the switch on him and he gets somebody smaller he’s just gonna do his thing move his body around get positioning to just shoot over the top of him and then his Rim protection is what’s really you know I think been amazing and and caused the Mavericks problems but I think that this this series is really about who’s keeping who in front of each other the Mavs are having a hard time keeping the ball in front of them and the Celtics aren’t the Celtics are keeping defensive players in front of the ball and it’s it’s making Dallas’s offense a lot tougher than than normal you know Nick the NBA did not like KD to the Warriors so the new CBA they created some aprons they don’t want three stars together they want draft and develop they’ll give you a couple but they’d prefer you draft them like a Tyrese Maxi and develop them they don’t want you going grabbing a porzingis getting a Derek white or a Drew holiday I should say um I do feel watching them it’s like they they pulled a fast one on the league they they got to I you know Al Horford’s your sixth best player and Derek White’s your fifth fifth is is some of this just Nick Boston’s too good and Too Deep Well I think uh Brad Stevens wins the executive of the year and uh I I tell you what I don’t want to I don’t want to negotiate with him right now I mean he he got he got Horford from OKC white from San Antonio porzingis from Washington Drew Holiday from Portland all here in a pretty short span of time and those guys have they they’ve all been incredible you know really really incredible Drew h was amazing last night yeah porzingis in game one and and you know we we haven’t even talked about you know Brown and Tatum yet and they’re they’re obviously their best two players you know it’s interesting with Tatum I mean you you you know you were in the G League you’ve seen young players I always felt Jaylen was a great athlete but he wasn’t quite as aesthetically pleasing he was just such a good strong athlete and he keeps getting I look at Tatum and he’s so fluid it’s such a beautiful game um how do you size the two they obviously play well together but I always think Tatum’s more naturally fluid but Jaylen plays so hard he’s he’s a little bit of dwade to him what do you make of those two I don’t know I think there’s very little difference between them as far as who’s better who isn’t I mean they’re both they’re both long athletic both can shoot the three I think they they you know Brown obviously physical Tatum is awful physical when he drives in there he’ll he’ll bounce people and put his shoulder down and you know forearm and all that kind of stuff I think they’re both really good defensively man I I they just keep getting better and I think you know for me um Tatum is probably his passing is probably been been the best you know or the biggest thing he’s improved you know he certainly had a lot of chances as a young player just to kind of go go go but he’s he makes great reads now he finds the guys obviously they got gez I don’t know eight guys six seven eight guys that are just going to stand out there if you give them a catch and shoot three and they’re going to make you pay and and uh they just keep getting better they’re very very good very very similar you know obviously uh Joe Missoula has buyin so a lot in this league these are highly compensated players Derek White’s Making 18 million bucks a year and yet they play as a unit I think a lot of that is Tatum that he’s a giver he’s not a taker you guys have a lot of cap space you have two stars Maxi and embiid when you spend that how much do you and and and Daryl talk about chemistry collaboration the right fit I saw with the Knicks this year a little bit didn’t have the most Talent they all bought in how big of a factor is that how often do you talk about that with Daryl yeah uh we talk about it a lot obviously we’ve got a lot of a lot of cap space and a lot of lot of roster to fill and um you’re right I mean I think you know Tyrese was amazing this year uh Joel was playing the best basketball of his career which is saying something until the injury so I think we got two two great guys to build around um finding the right pieces that are going to that are going to be able to to space and shoot defend and rebound um have some IQ have some late game um you know Moxy and and and guts and the things that it takes is is really the key for us you know to get to where we want to go which is you know we wish we were playing now that’s for sure is um you know what what what is the Dilemma uh do they need another I mean when you look at Boston and Dallas you’re like God if Kyrie’s off it’s all Luca what do you do when you have and you have one a Transcendent star um you want to watch minutes because obviously Dallas is good enough to get to the playoffs is it hard sometimes when you have a star he wants the ball he’s a great closer but he’s wearing himself out looks like Luc and to me’s kind of falling apart well I think it’s it’s The Balancing Act obviously um he certainly needs some help you know your complimentary guys got to be really good during the game I think I don’t know last last night’s game’s a good example would they go two for 17 from three other than Luca you know that’s you know there was a that was a chance last night to to be in that game and and and maybe get that one but they got to you know he’s got to be better than that and that way you don’t have to rely on him so much throughout you know the first 42 44 minutes right you got you got to have some some offensive defensive help for those for those Superstar guys so that they do have enough in the tank you know in the last four or five minutes of the of the game to make plays at both ends yeah you know the um Caitlyn Clark is listen there’s no necessarily right answer I I said earlier in life occasionally you are presented with a wave grab your surfboard you don’t get great opportunities in life it could be a relationship you meet your wife grab the surfboard there’s the wave right like I kind of feel like ladies Caitlyn Clark get her on television it’ll quadruple it could make your other players more endorsements but I understand there’s there’s this feeling that well she’s not she’s not one of the best 15 players Olympics are weird Nick they’re kind of political they’re kind of sub I mean Jaylen Brown’s not on this Olympic team he’s a top 15 player in the league for sure what do you do with what if you’re nameing the team what do you do with this Rising Star you love her game I love her game but all of a sudden over the weekend we this thing got tribal and political where do you go with it yeah I I think listen first of all you know I’m from Iowa right so so I’m I’m like a I’m major I flew I flew to watch the game against LSU and and it was one of the best things I did all year to to see that game um and uh I it’s good and bad I mean I think I can’t I almost can’t believe it because I I agree with you that the ratings and all the just everything probably continues to roll on if she’s on the team um but I’m almost happy for her too I think the amount of pressure she’s been under you know going to the national championship game you know taking that team that from Iowa that probably you know never be there never has been there at all you know and she took him twice and uh right into the WNBA and all this stuff uh at least she doesn’t have to have another another ramp up of incredible scrutiny and pressure on her but I’m I’m pretty surprised that she’s not on the team yeah unlike the NBA where you get drafted in some time off at the WNBA you get drafted they give you a jersey and you got to be somewhere in a week so she is an ascending star uh okay you were 31 and8 with him be 16 and 27 without him uh you’re obviously got money to spend have you decided your direction do you today know you and darl know where you’re going how much is is is these foundational moves do you know how much is watching other people when it all start yeah I mean I think it starts about about 24 hours after our our our final buzzer uh the planning of it uh for sure Colin I think that um you know I think we got to explore everything you know Daryl Daryl is really good at his job really got a lot of trust in him and Elton brand and our owners they they really want to get this thing right and and I think exploring every option right now but then being ready for playing bcde e f g h i because I think there’s a lot of things that could happen you know um with with free agency with the draft with trades I think it’ll be an active summer certainly will be for us it has to be but I think it will be in general Nick nurse Sixers great seeing you Celtics lead 20 they got better players at this point more
