With each passing game, it is becoming more apparent that Nick Nurse might not be the best person to man the sidelines for the Philadelphia 76ers this season and beyond. That was on full display during the team’s most recent game against the Warriors, where they managed to blow a huge lead, but were saved thanks to the heroics of their starting backcourt.
Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe came up huge late in the game to hand the 76ers their 12th win in the season, but Nurse’s miscalculations left many frustrated. The main gripe with him is his continuing lack of faith in Jared McCain, who remains tethered to a strange situation where he is not getting the kind of role he should already be having.
