Mailbag: Is Nick Nurse to blame for the Raptors' struggles? Plus trade targets, staying invested as a fan & more!

In Episode 1300, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through a whole bunch of listener questions about the struggling, 13-14 Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean examines Nick Nurse's role in the Raptors struggles of late. Does he play his guys too many minutes? Does he need to be more flexible in terms of how the team plays defense? Is he being unfairly scapegoated for issues outside of his control? Plus, are the Raptors simply a good run of shooting from O.G. Anunoby, Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. away from solving most of their problems? And are there any particular player archetypes the front office needs to be targeting before the NBA Trade Deadline? In addition, Sean addresses questions about trade targets like Jakob Poeltl and Myles Turner, the latter of whom may be moving to the top of Sean's wish list as a solution to a couple of Toronto's biggest problems, as well as whether the Raptors will finish below the also brick-heavy New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers in overall three-point percentage? To close, Sean answers a great question about how to stay invested as a new fan when the team is going through struggles.
