00:03 - What did you think of the end of that game
00:05 at the Garden last night, Gabe?
00:07 - Wild stuff.
00:09 And I've talked about this in the past a lot, Scott,
00:11 with Nick Nurse, known well being the head coach
00:14 of the Toronto Raptors as long as he's been.
00:16 Nobody, and I mean nobody
00:19 in the National Basketball Association chirps the referees
00:22 as much as Nick Nurse does, right?
00:25 The preseason games, regular season games, the entire game,
00:29 they tune him out.
00:30 And he said that he claimed he called two timeouts late.
00:34 Dude, you tried to call a timeout when there was like,
00:35 it was like, you know, it was like the Battle Royal,
00:39 Monday Night Raw, bodies were all over the floor.
00:42 He tried to call a quick timeout
00:44 in the middle of a chaotic moment.
00:46 He had an opportunity to slow it down
00:47 and get the ball to half court, he didn't.
00:50 This is what he does.
00:50 Watch him during the game, Scott.
00:52 He's more concerned with chirping the ref the whole time,
00:54 but it doesn't even out.
00:56 It's not like, well, I'll get a call
00:58 if I work him a little bit.
00:59 They just don't like him.
01:00 And I used to think it was just,
01:01 oh, they don't like the Raptors,
01:03 but it's the same thing with the Philadelphia 76ers.
01:05 He actually hurts the team
01:07 with his attitude towards the refs.
