Nick Nurse is done talking about effort.
“Come on man, no more effort questions. No more,” Nurse said before wrapping up the interview.
Asked about the biggest breakdowns on Saturday during a game in which the offence stumbled badly to start and then never really recovered, Nurse pointed the finger squarely at that end of the floor.Article content Nurse has consistently pointed at the poor offence as the reason for the struggles on defence. He feels the lack of success on the offensive end saps the drive and ‘want-to’ at the defensive end, resulting in a game in which the Raptors are constantly trying to overcome deficits.Nurse was initially asked about why there was such an inconsistency of effort within his roster and actually praised the question, though he didn’t have a real answer.
He did see some of that energy come back in recent wins over Charlotte but admits any consistent source of it has been fleeting.
