The Toronto Raptors have one of the absolute best head coaches in the sport in Nick Nurse, as the replacement for Dwane Casey led the franchise to their first-ever NBA championship in his debut season at the help while helping them take home 53 victories and the East’s No. 2 seed in his second campaign.
The Raptors were set up to fail when they had to play an entire season in Tampa, and they proceeded to do just that when they earned just the No. 11 seed in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs.
