Everything Nick Nurse

[LJ2]

Listened to Nurse speak to media during Raps practice and a couple things I came away with were
1. Trent is back in the starting line up to stay. Nurse referred to him being injured early on and is back in rhythm and feeling better now.
2. Bench is just was not very good last night and is why he didn't play them and relied on starters for heavy minutes. Sounds like he will pound that rock until Masai gets him some players.

Might be time for him to use the same logic with Fred. Bring him off the bench until he gets back into rhythm.

This is off topic; but at the beginning of the season the Raptors were showing off some new monitoring device inside their practice facility. It kept track of a ton of things. I wonder if this new shinning toy might actually be a hindrance then a help for some. Almost an analysis paralysis.

Shots not working right it most be this, or maybe this, or maybe this. Before you know it a player is tweaking his shot mid season and not necessarily for the better.

I know I'm clutching at straws here, but considering we have essentially the same core, and some players are not shooting like last year. I wonder if this could be the "what's different?"

Read an article that the system showed that Fred shots were off because his form changed and he no longer brought the ball straight up when he shot.

It wasn’t the system, it was “shot doctor” Nick Nurse who diagnosed the hitch in FVV’s shooting motion earlier this year.

Did you even read that?

It says "What did the Raptors Shooting Tech say about Fred's slump".

It was the tech, not Nurse.

He probably should, but that would mean using one of the bench guards he doesn't trust. Which leads to point number 2 maybe. He's going to continue to play the starters heavy minutes until Masai and Bobby get him some players he can trust.

No, Fred takes Gary's 6 man spot and we start a center, either precious or Koloko.

If Fred starts playing great again he can take the precious or Koloko spot in the starting lineup. That's exactly what he did with Gary.

Since then, Nurse’s approach has been anything but subtle. His public, post-game criticism of his team – calling their effort “unacceptable” – was as pointed as he’s been during this recent skid, and maybe over the course of his five-year tenure as head coach. Over the weekend, Nurse held individual meetings with many of his players and coaches, conversations that were described as “intense” and weren’t universally well received.

Back injuries are a bitch.
It affects one's body in so many different ways. One moment you feel good, but one wrong turn and you feel weird again.
l have back pains myself and it bothers me constantly, the way i move, sit, stand, walk, almost everything.

“...and weren’t universally well received “ hmm.

The other day he said hes got lots of bullets in the clip which is just weird. Its like Nick is losing it. Im guessing he used to reward guys who followed his shit with play time and those were the good guys. Now its seeped into almost everyone including starters so he cant do that now. Now he has to hold one on ones and threaten to empty his clip

Strange days

The beat guy giving just enough without saying anything. I bet Josh’s buddies find out a lot more over a couple beers.

We need a serious dedicated coach.
I see now why he signed with Klutch

I like Coach Nurse, but honestly I think he should be Fired, love 2 c a new coach with a new voice..it would best Scottie and Franchise..I just don't c this coach changing his method of coaching 2 help young players and Scottie.
He tends 2 lean on veterans 2 much, the problem is..he tend 2 lean on guys that shouldn't be playing 40 minutes a game...plus there not really good players.
