CAMDEN, N.J.–As the Philadelphia 76ers got back to work at practice on Thursday following Wednesday’s preseason loss to the Boston Celtics, coach Nick Nurse is continuing to implement his system and his style on the players.
Nurse is not a traditional coach. He goes into plenty of different schemes such as Triangle And-2, a box and-1, a 1-3-1 zone, there are plenty of different things he will try to win a basketball game. That takes a lot of understanding in order to execute from the players.
