I'm one of the biggest Murray fans here but even I know that he always gets amped against LeBron and that's what tonight was all about. Too bad he didn't get enough help.
Triple double last week. New career high tonight. The guy is making us a believer

Lol @ the guys coming for this guy's head during pre-season... in games where he didn't even have a negative impact. People were just LOOKING for something negative to say about him when he clearly has put the work in.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Murray has a bigger ceiling than White and is definitely the more dynamic player on both ends but hopefully they'll both be playing to the best of their abilities simultaneously when White comes back.
The great thing with White and Murray and our other young guns.... is that they're each different flavors. I don't see any redundant skills and traits. It's all a matter of fitting it altogether, and I'm seeing it slowly one at a time. For a couple plays, I see Keldon and Lonnie play a two man game and it's pretty exciting.
Well he responded tonight in Aldridge’s absence. And I think he’s very capable, again when he focuses on scoring. Spurs will need it from him if Aldridge will start to regress
Not just two. Lonnie was pretty good facilitating too. And with him, he attacks the basket from off screen, so fast
Agreed.
DJ is approaching Westbrook territory if he keeps this up
31.8 min 18.5 PPG 7.5 RPG 7.3 AST 1.3 STL 55.2 %FG 33.3 % 3pt 100% FT
I guess when White returns his numbers will take a hit, but damn has he filled up the stat sheet in these 4 games
Dejounte with one of his best games after removing a giant stiff who sets one screen, stand there, and bricks an open shot ? I'm shocked...
Dejounte has looked so much better than last year.
For me i beleived his ceiling would have been a 16pts/ 6rbis and a few asst.
18.5 7 rbi and 7 asst is elite!
There is still alot to improve. He needs to reduce his TO.
outside of that, his Jump shot looka smooth and faster.
Him and Lonnie have looked so much better. I still think Lonnie has another gear that he can reach, while Dejounte needs to find consistency!
Agreed. DJ is approaching All-Star status if he make this consistent and will only help the Spurs
Agreed with Lonnie. The guy is so fast, breaking defenders and even finds people.
And not just the two, but Keldon, Vassell (hopefully Luka). There’s so much growth and the best is they’re the same age, different positions! And two-way players too
Im pretty sure he was auditioning for lebron so he can eventually pressure the lakers to get him. 29 points last night he won’t score more than 12 the next game. Hes like every player on this team, not one player brings it every single game.
he's been finishing much more cleanly at the rim, and that's been a big difference so far. i still dont think his handles have gotten much better but his decision making has helped
The game is slowing down on him, and he’s starting to pick and choose when to attack, dictate the tempo, awareness of plays developing. I didn’t know he had in him but all flair. I hope it’s a hint of good things to come.
Still has to clean up the turnovers but his finishing at the hoop and shooting looks better.
decision making also needs to continue to improve. I’m happy he has played well so far but 4 games is a small Sample size. I do think his jump shot is for real though because it looked way better last season as well
Disagree somewhat. He was awful in PS and seems to have flipped a switch comparatively. I’m actually ok, ecstatic actually, with his improved offense (shooting and finishing) because it makes him more of the shooting guard we’ve needed. Or combo guard. I still want White handling the ball and PnR.
"Awful"? Game 1, sure. But game 2 and 3? Oh man, some of you will go to great lengths to refuse accountability when you're wrong. It's not hard. I've admitted I was wrong about other things. Others have too.
People will be disappointed when DJ continues to be the starting PG when White is back. It is so obvious that's what's going to happen. While people are attached to their "starter" label for their favorite players, the Spurs are cooking up a strategy to break the game in half by starting the game fast and catching the opposing team off guard, then when they adjust, we have White who's capable of handling the slower pace. It's a strategy to get a big lead out the gates with faster pace. Personnel might be handicapping that a bit, but that's the plan.
I don’t want White to supplant DJ in the starting lineup, I want him to supplant Lonnie. With White/DJ, we have the perfect two headed PG, DJ on the break, and White in the half court.
I think you’re overreacting a bit. As for a “plan” that seems like magical thinking. I mean, maybe. But it seems like projecting.

Nah Spurs should start White and Murray. Then let them split PG duties, ideally Murray will run more with the bench including Lonnie Walker and White with the starters to set up LMA
We will never "start the game fast" with LMA in the starting line up...
When was the last time we had the lead in a game by the time we made our second subs ution ?
That's why I said my last sentence, "Personnel might be handicapping that a bit...".
It's assuming LMA is gone.
I think Murray has looked good so far, though it's a short sample. I don't think he looks like a great point guard, per se, but I think he looks like a skilled basketball player. I'm still concerned about him getting too out of control and turning the ball over and I am actually more comfortable with Demar playing point guard, but Murray doesn't have to be a "point guard" to be effective as a player.
