Nick Nurse Discusses Coaching Goals, Joel Embiid, and Why He's Excited to be in Philadephia

76ers will be deadly with Nurse. With good players, he knows how to coach.

[@DMbabeful]

Even with bad. He won Scottie a ROY

[@ThePhl4ever]

lmfao Nurse is a horrible head coach and we will be lucky if we make the playoffs with this fraud leading us. He is the Gabe Kapler or Chip Kelly of the Sixers. Josh Harris is trying to ruin the team he owns.

[@KillenEMsoftly]

whos the tall guy walking at 3:30? does he play basketball? he should consider it

[@Byronic19134]

@0:39 Most interesting part to me is when Nick says, "Ownership is second to none." Because he said it with excitement and immediately tempered himself by saying how he did his research. Because the most important distinction in all of this is that Nurse was the most sought-after HC and chose to come here with a couple other contenders offering him as well. This is not a guy who needed a job so he sold himself to us, we had to sell out situation to him, which is much more positive than fans think. We are a serious contender with Embiid and Maxey period.

[@ComboBreakerHD]

Nick Nurse is the finish line of Trust The Process. If Philly is capable of winning, he will take them there. Real talk we make fun of the process but we do it because it really is something, there's loads of talent on Philly. That has to appeal to Nurse who isn't just a seat filler coach, he will expect that talent to be used. Having watched his growth it's no surprise that he feels that way about Philly as an org.

Nick tried his best with Pascal for years. Pascal just isn't that guy. He has fake motivation at the start of every year but when they needed him to make a shot in a big game, he goes MIA. Nick finally has a star to work with like he did with Kawhi.

[@millyjilly7586]

Sixers finally has a real coach that can demand what he wants out of a player. Scheme against opponents , put players in situations that will bring out their greatness. Make Embiid unstoppable as he was a coach that schemed successfully against him. Make Maxey an all star.

First coach who will hold our entitled players accountable (particularly James). Nurse will be the first coach in Joel's career who will demand the best out of him.

[@PeediSigel]

Joel Embiid+ accountability = deep low-post, no exceptions.

[@Byronic19134]

I hate this fetish with holding players accountable as if that is what will make they're shots go in, in fact that is the reason Thybulle couldn't hit anything here is because of the pressure Doc put on him.

[@HumanOptimization]

they would see that as illegal haha but we would lvoe it.

[@towelociraptor]

"Ownership is second to none" I mean, Dolan is probably a worse owner. But I can't imagine too many owners would bend over and just let the league screw them the way Harris let them install the Colangelos to throw away all of our assets. Oh was that supposed to be a compliment?

[@mollyweir9350]

What do you expect him to say? They gave him the job but he knows it is not true. Toronto is a more first class organization than Sixers. NN knows that as well. The amount of resources that Raps gave him to work with players I don't think another organization except for Warriors does that. Don't believe me ask to see the OVO Athletic Centre known after Drake's brand.

[@FrappMocha]

Damn you Masai, why did you let Nick go? Ugh....

[@DESOUSAB]

To deflect from his failures. In Masai we Trust - amiright?

[@DESOUSAB]

​@@KsM-285 Nick failed to win with the thrift store pieces Masai dug up for him. Shall we review the cast of characters Masai has given us over the past 4 years? It is a long and embarrassing list. Please don't make me do it...

[@RKWDBMX]

​@@KsM-285 he answered tho

[@Logan69420]

Because Masai is washed up. He made 1 good move 4 years ago and people still ride his d*ck like he's a god or something. I don't get it.

[@DESOUSAB]

@@KsM-285 My position is this: this core's best chance at doing damage in the playoffs was last year at the trade deadline. The team was playing excellent ball, but the starters were beat. Masai should have done everything in his power to improve that club in advance of a promising playoff run with an overachieving but banged up squad. But the team was betrayed by the Front Office - they did NOTHING. No centre. No bench scoring. NADA. And the result was an overused squad got no help and went into the playoffs to be embarrassed by a beatable Sixers squad. I suggest you go back and listen to the press conference after that trade deadline and listen closely to Masai's excuse for leaving the club and the coaches hanging. Come back to me once you've done that and then we can have an honest conversation. But I doubt you will do that...

[@Johnsons97]

The only time Nurse made it out the 2nd round was against the choking 76ers themselves. This hire won’t do anything in the playoffs because Embiid stinks as a 1st option in May

[@danwiththeplans]

Head Coaches know their leash is 2-4 years in most cases. That's Philly's window with late plateau Embiid and early prime Maxey.

[@kingofarrything768]

You think T Max is in his prime?

[@Omar-xg3lm]

This guy is an actor

[@djchamaica]

Nick is a great coach. He will do well. But he is not the difference between a championship or not. That difference is between the ears of Embiid. Good luck.

[@Flashback_Jack]

Raptors ownership: None Philadelphia 76ers ownership: Second to none.

[@DESOUSAB]

Really - you think Rogers and Bell are great owners? They use the CRTC to steal from Canadians and then use our money to build a $4B sports asset that literally only the most wealthy amongst us can ever watch live. But "we the North," right?
