At present, there isn't anyone here really "spewing" (lol) that.
Stop fabricating fiction to give greater weight to your perspective.
It's very childish, and diminishes the valid and intelligent insight that you often offer.
Nurse definitely takes blame on this.
This, however, does not equate towards your "worst coach in NBA" claims.
My feel is the issue is more players than coach.
I empathize with Masai because his selection is often limited.
With this said, time is ticking since the championship, and maybe it is time for a change.

It took a certain belief, conviction, and cold detachment for Masai Ujiri to fire Dwane Casey, then coach of the year in the NBA.
The question now is: Would he do something similar with Nick Nurse? And has the time come to be considering such a decision?
The Raptors championship is now four seasons past. The team is a mess. The honeymoon is all but over. Nurse can’t stop complaining about officials, night after night, and now his players, most recently Scottie Barnes and Fred VanVleet have followed his lead.
His first two seasons, Nurse had an incredible .720 winning percentage, an NBA championship, followed by a coach of the year honour. He made his stamp as an NBA coach. Everyone took notice. The last three seasons, amid COVID difficulties and roster instability, he has a .481 winning percentage. Hard not to notice that now.
The Raptors struggle with half-court offence, which is taught, and can’t play defence particularly well, which is taught, let Pascal Siakam play way too much isolation basketball, which is taught and don’t seem to get the most of their players night after night. The loss Friday night in Los Angeles to a Lakers team without LeBron James and with a half-hearted Anthony Davis was the kind of defeat that would claw away at Ujiri and by extension general manager Bobby Webster the way the playoff losses to Cleveland had him losing faith in Casey years ago.
Who’s having a great season on the Raptors? Full season? The whole season? Anyone. The coach certainly isn’t. Neither is Ujiri or Webster. A lot to wonder about here with 14 games to play and nowhere really to go.
