The Raptors are off to their worst start since 2005 after falling to Celtics

Nick Nurse said he’d been riding the Raptors hard these past few days, sounding more than a bit fed up with the way things had been going.

“We’re on their backsides, man, about things they’re doing wrong,” the coach said. “We’re getting on them. And they can’t hang their (heads) or feel disrespected … it’s just all teaching. It’s all learning, and that’s just where we are.”

And that was before another ugly outing.

What Nurse turns to now, no one knows, after Toronto fell to 1-5 after another disheartening loss, this time 126-114 at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Monday night in Tampa.
