There’s nothing like a little age and wisdom and experience to add some pizzazz and purpose to the final week of the NBA pre-season for the Toronto Raptors. “Even in Tokyo (in two games last week) when (Marc) Gasol hit the floor, you could see this galvanizing,” Nurse said. “I think we got some pretty extended minutes out of our guys in Japan, and I thought they played really well (minus Lowry),” Nurse said. “Is there much difference between this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, and this guy? “For me, it starts with who’s going to execute the defensive game plan and who’s going to be a safe pair of hands on offence, and then who’s going to not be afraid to take the kick-out shot, because while they’re in there they’ll probably get a few.”
