To quote David Thorpe — “he’s a weird dude. He rubs people the wrong way”. He may be an autist, but he was our autist 🙁
I think Nurse’s ego got over-inflated.
From the sounds of things, the firing of nurse was less than amicable
Outlines even more why he needed to leave…roster needs to be blown up and he’s not the right coach for that (and he’s the wrong coach for Ujiri’s eye of the needle and hope for miracles strategy).
Nurse is just pissing on his own legacy, so whatever, let him
Masai and Nurse definitely got that ex-GF vibes going on. Seeing who is going to “win” the breakup
I cant believe that some of y’all have your knickers in a twist over Nurse not writing a heartfelt goodbye. The most easily triggered fanbase at times.
I’m telling you, it was not amicable
How are yall gonna feel in his first game back to Scotiabank Arena? Standing applause or nah? I’d hope he still gets a tribute video. Can’t discount what he achieved here despite how it ended.
Bro should have started Ibaka instead of Gasol in 2020. A stubborn and proud man.
Respect you coach but its time to say goodbye and move one. We will always thank you for the chip, but breaking up is part of the business. Do it gracefully.
Dude’s a weirdo
SCORCHING Hot take: There was no goodbye because he’s not leaving.
Idk why fans are so desperate for closure tbh.
Because Nurse is a whiney little bitch. It was on display literally every game.
lol this sub won’t want to hear it but these comments show why he hasn’t thanked the fans, they’ll switch up on you in a heartbeat even when you’re the only championship coach they’ve ever known (not saying the firing wasn’t needed)
If you knew the next coach would win us a title and then get fired a few years later and not say good bye with a letter that makes you think they were classy, would you want to not hire them?
That’s disappointing. Doc didn’t even win a ring with them lol.
Nick Nurse is a weirdo. Has been alluded to many times. Went out like a sucka.
Thankful for 2019 but Nurse has been tripping for a while now, was happy he got the boot
