Spurs Without Instagram Baller This Year: 2-0

[Play Boban]

And when he plays they are 4-11. He is garbage!

you a next level hater bro
Thanks bro. I’m willing to speak the truth most shy away from. :smokin

[timvp]

A) That's not accurate.

B) Two wins were over the Warriors and Knicks.

Murray needs to learn how to shoot. That is if he wishes to be influential.

[Sugus]

Damn, less than a 10-game stretch of non stellar performances from Dejounte and it's back to the Instagram Baller shit? Where are the people who were gonna wait until at least the ASB to make a real judgment of DJ once he got his groove back on? Someone always looking to bitch around here... :rolleyes

[KobesAchilles]

Also undefeated when White starts. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. You can say we beat trash teams, but we were losing to garbage teams with IB out there ruining the starting line up.

:wow

[spurspl]

maybe we should trade him until he has some big value

[duncan2k5]

We aren't 2-0...we lost to the Blazers with white starting... The Blazers are trash, but better than the Knicks... But we still lost... U guys can't be serious... White started the entire year last year... We have been through this already...we know the outcome... U do realize we won games with dejounte in, right? Against better teams? But we beat the two worst teams in the league with him out and all of a sudden the team is better without him?

That's like the idiots that used to say we play better without Duncan when he used to sit games and we would blow out teams...

At this point I hope dejounte gets traded... The low IQ fans the Spurs have combined with Pop's backwards coaching isn't worth the disrespect...

White played like ASS last night, but he is the answer because we won vs THE KNICKS? GTFOH

We aren't undefeated... Do u even watch games? Or does whatever ppl say on the internet equate to the truth to you?

Not remotely true... And our issues have never been on offense

[EasyMoney]

Look at you trying to control the narrative. The spurs are 2-1 with him out. He did not play against golden state, Portland, and new York.

[Poolboy5623]

If they could play the Knicks and Warriors every time they might go 82-0 without him. He sucks!!

haven’t at all been impressed with Murray. He’s not as bad as Forbes, Mills or Marco but he hasn’t been good this year. Maybe it’s all pops fault but my gut says some of it might be on Murray too. Maybe some of the stats guys here can see where he ranks out of nba PGs in efficiency.

Since we also have White, I wouldn’t be against trading Murray if the right offer was out there. He is a tradable asset IMO

Not necessarily, but developing a decent outside shot would make him a multidimensional threat and a starter on PO teams for a decade.
I wish he could shoot off the dribble but he can live without it, relying on his excellent athleticism and penetration ability.

U are narrow sighted... White isn't better than Murray right now and he is two years older... Murray will be significantly better... In football white would have been considered a bus driver QB... he can't take u to the promise land... Murray has that game changing quality to him...

totally agree, hes 23yrs old and imo wont develop so much to become a game changer or a star. If we could get a promising young forward for murray we should take it.
btw i like u dude, u talk well

Don't know about star, but he's already a game changer. Do you actually watch the games? Dejounte is the main engine of the Spurs' transition offense, which is close to non-existent when he's off the court. Grabs the board with authority and is ready to go, always catching the opponent off guard. You're not seeing this very clearly, I suppose, because the Spurs have put two stars around him who are much slower and older than him, so we can hardly capitalize on fastbreaks as Murray admittedly still has work to do on his finishing skills and often looks to pass instead.

Out of every player the Spurs have, I firmly believe Murray is the one who changed our game the most. It's impossible to miss when he's on the court, whereas I often forget about DD (when he's not making dumb passes and getting blocked at the rim) or LMA (when he's not making stupid 20ft jumpers) being on the court. Guess we just watch different games....

[Harry Callahan]

Revisit this in February or March. An ACL tear is a big deal and it takes more than a year to get back from it. DJM will help the Spurs as they transition from the current roster. You can't just snap your fingers and get him back to the 2018 playoffs when he did some really good things.

It takes time.

i watched and agree that hes the main engine in offense, he penetrates nicely but it has poorly impact on points and assists. Plus he makes a lot of turnovers. A lot of work to do. There is a potential but he is not that guy u build a team around. Btw the amount of rebounds he has, just show how badly our forwards are. Point guard should be focus on assisting and scoring and murray isnt so great in this.

Whats really dumb is comparing Murray to a top 10 player of all time in any way. Would’ve been more credible to say Parker but even then Parker has like a top 3 win % of all time. Murray ain’t that good at setting up people bro. That’s just a fact. Offense runs better with Derrick running it.

And we are a bottom 5 team WITH Dejounte starting so yeah any wins for this team should be taken positively. The fact is that Murray still can’t shoot and still can’t play point guard.

[Prime BEEF]

you shouldn’t make false assumptions. Maybe you thought I was a different poster? I never said White was better than Murray. I said that I wasn’t impressed with Murray so far and that he is a tradable asset since you also have white.

Here let me say it another way. I’m also not impressed with White so far and he is also a tradable asset since we also have Murray.

The team has major issues right now and the FO should listen to all offers that can improve the team. Making it a given that Murray and White are untradable is narrow minded. I would only trade 1 of them (not both) if the right offer presented itself.

before someone chimes in saying blah blah blah don’t trade young assets for veterans, that’s not what I’m referring to. You could possibly combine Murray or White with LMA or DDR and get a young asset that is better than Murray or White. We may not get any offers like that but everything should be on the table and no player on this team should be listed as untradable. That’s my point.

I see his ceiling as a Westbrook type of player. We aren't seeing him play his best basketball right now and probably won't until next season, but once he gets his mojo back and stops playing feebly due to fear of reinjury, I could see him being the proper engine of an offense. The only thing stopping him is his shot, which he has a lot of work to do on, but overall I wouldn't watch his present stats as a testament of his value to a team. As for the amount of rebounds, I disagree, you can see Dejounte pulling effort on every rebound both O and D and, just like Westbrook, he's bound to get them no matter the team surrounding him - and I see it as an extremely valuable part of his game. Once (BIG IF) the front office manages to put a young, athletic team around him which gets accustomed to letting him grab the board and initiate transition O, we could be a scary team. He has a lot of work to do on his passing game as well; I won't deny it either. But there's a lot of things he's got that not many players have - I haven't even talked about his leadership skills. I'd like to judge Dejounte when he's as old as White is right now (which people don't do for some reason).

Spurs are undefeated when Instagram Baller comes off the bench. He belongs at the end of the bench tbqh.

two games? wow, that's quite a sample size, bruh.

One would have a hard time arguing that Murray has not been the (or at least one of the) biggest disappointments so far this year.
He is not Beli bad but for the expectations he has failed to rise up to meet them.
Poor-really poor decisions
Chaotic ball handling leads to turnovers
Hardly anything getting easy shots off the pick and roll action which is what he absolutely should feast on.
His defense has not been as bad as his offense but is no where near what was expected.
He routinely gets scrapped off on picks or somehow lets opponents to drive by him to stir up mismatches.
So far he has failed in the test for him to be what was expected.
He needs to grow up/man up
