I like this headline for an inept franchise. I'm not saying that Toronto is inept. But just in general, I think it would be funny.
Sources: Raptors to hire Nurse as head coach
I don't think it's funny. It's just someone's last name.
Also, it would be funnier if it was applied to a franchise that had injured people.
For example, one of the years Greg Oden was hurt, Portland not only had other injuries, but also coach Nate McMillan.
It's funny, damnit! Because if the Cleveland Browns had hired him, we might have believed it was an actual nurse hired, as the capitalization in a headline isn't a hint that it's a person. I mean, the head of the EPA doesn't believe in climate change and the head of education doesn't support public schools, etc. So why not a medical professional to coach a team?

Did the Browns have one of the worst injury situations, in the NFL last year?
No, the franchise has been historically inept.

Look at 2010-2015: 8-3.
Opportunistic timing: management knows the schedule. Fire before a home game against an OK team or worse. Motivation. New message. Coincidence.
@nuraman00 , did you know both the NBA and NFL Cleveland teams fired their coaches in the same week? 2-3 days apart?
@nuraman00 , I’m counting this. One player shot 8/17, otherwise...
Jazz vs. Timberwolves - Box Score - October 31, 2018 - ESPN
Don't.
There are too many games where one player was one FG (make or miss) away.
That's what makes looking for the Magic Box Score so special. Because when it happens, it will make history.
Otherwise, we can find 1 or 2 games every year that meet the one FG away criteria.
You've already counted 2 games in October.
Nah, I count it. I haven’t found the holy grail yet, so it counts. Once we find the Holy Grail, the old standard is like driving the new car off the lot. The value of the rest goes down quickly. But I have to drive a car in the meantime. If we are faithful, we will find it.
