In Episode 964, Sean and Katie Heindl review the performance of the Raptors' head coach and front office over the course of 2020-21. They first dig into Nick Nurse's management of the roster over the course of the season, and why he kind of owned himself with his scatter shot rotation in the early part of the season. They also chat about his commitment to his vaunted defensive scheme, and why they hope he'll learn to be a little bit more adaptive to his personnel after the team's defensive drop off this season. To close things out, they chat all about the Raptors' front office, where they erred in the lead-up to the season and in the handling of the Terence Davis situation, and why their personnel moves were maybe not as bad as you'd think from watching Aron Baynes play basketball.
