The header image on this post has nothing to do with the subject matter of said post. I went with Raptors coach Nick Nurse because he’s known as something of a “mad scientist” in basketball circles. After his first year as Toronto’s head coach, that descriptor has boiled down to things like: playing Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol togther and using a box-and-1 to stop Steph Curry. It’s surprising thinking, sometimes even random thinking — and it ties in thematically with the writing Shea Serrano does in his new book Movies (And Other Things).
