Daily News | Sixers’ Doc Rivers, Raptors’ Nick Nurse know playoffs are all about making adjustments
For 76ers coach Doc Rivers and the Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse, their teams’ opening-round series is a chess match involving the duo adjusting and re-adjusting.
“But it’s also a game of play,” he said. “I had games where I felt like I adjusted well and we didn’t make a shot. So it still doesn’t matter. So after Saturday morning’s shootaround, Jordan was asked what he thinks his role will be versus the Raptors.Process this: Joel Embiid took stock of his play, embraced change and embarked on an MVP-caliber season
“We got every little piece to make the whole thing work,” Jordan said. “And I think everybody has to be able to sacrifice whether it be offense, defense, playing time, shots, whatever it is we want to reach an ultimate goal.”Former Sixers standout Thad Young is the eldest Raptor. At 33 years old, Young is four years older than Khem Birch, 29, the second-oldest Toronto player.
Young averaged 6.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 8.3 minutes while shooting 39.5% on three-pointers since the trade.
