It is an apt phrase that Kyle Lowry came up with to describe Nick Nurse because it’s obvious that the head coach’s personality has meshed wonderfully with his veteran-laden roster.
It’s not solely why the Raptors find themselves in the NBA final for the first time ever — talent has an awful lot to do with that happening — but it’s been a major part of the team’s collective personality.
“He’s very chill, laid back,” Lowry said of the team’s 51-year-old, first-year head coach.
Don’t get things wrong, though. If Nurse has to get excited, he will.
