Josh Lewenberg: Halfway point of the season for the Raptors tonight. Nurse said that this has been the most challenging of his 4 years as an NBA head coach so far, lots of ups and downs. “There’s some stark downs, man, and it’s been a battle to pick everybody up, or pick yourself up.” – via Twitter JLew1050
Michael Grange: Nurse says that he’s had conversations with GM Bobby Webster about trying to evaluate what the Raptors need coming up to the trade deadline, but it’s been hard to evaluate given way season has gone. Says there’s about six-man or 7-man core they want to focus on going forward. – via Twitter michaelgrange
