Please.
He ran the offense the way Popped instructed him to.
No more dribble dribble dribble iso ball down the stretch. No more stat padding from our PG. instead we have a PG who is in the flow of the offense and that means the whole team is in the flow of the offense.
The chemistry of the team looks amazing. No passive aggressive tweets from our leaders talking about fake tough guys and putting down our teammates. They seem to truly be excited when a young guy does well rather than pout about it and make threats. This team looks and plays free.
DJ would have monster games, don’t get me wrong. But he also had a lot of growing pains of trying to be “the man” instead of just playing basketball.
Please.
He ran the offense the way Popped instructed him to.
Don't know if he held them back (I doubt it) but team is way more fun to watch now.
I don't think he did but if we were still on the team...maybe...
Hmm.. I guess we’ll see
Nah, this team is just very well coached and have some good players starting to get into their "veteran" years. I really wanted to see how this team would have done with Murray still in it. Playoffs would have been very likely.
No, he was supposed to do that stuff. But it seems clear the team can cover for what he did.
Losing white was bigger for vassell to get minutes
or maybe the other guys took that next step.
Devin, is a fricken beast so far
Jakob has been solid
Sochan has greatly improved this team's defense
bench is rock solid
Keldon is Keldon
Tre has improved
If we can be constant and get around 20pt per night from 2/5 starters, and another one gives up aropund 10-15, plus the bench scoring 35+ pt, the chance of us winning look good.
Yes and no. Pop didn't want Murray to dominate the ball. He wouldn't've played him with White and DeRozan if he had. But Pop did want Murray to be aggressive. Dude's not just a product of the stuff around him. Pop wanted to harness what Murray can do well, and that dictated some of the offense the Spurs ran. Now that Jones is a reliable shooter, everyone on the court provides spacing and can make plays for others. The picture for what Pop has wanted the team to be for years is now clearer. They still lack the talent to really make it work, but they're also playing above their talent right now.
No. It's more about everyone playing their actual positions. Sochan defense at the 4 is already WAY better than Keldon's ever was. Because of that we can actually go 2 or 3 minute stretches not giving up a point. Couldn't do that the last few years tbh.
Losing White and gaining a version of what White was to become in Richardson. Richardson can do a lot of the secondary playmaking White is doing now but without the pressure to be the PG of the team. Sochan being able to do that kind of stuff as a PF is also going underrated. It's going to be really hard to trap the Spurs since they have so many guys who can bring up the ball under light pressure and don't have to force Primo and Jones to do it.
Lol. This team would have a legit shot at the playoffs this year if Instagram Baller were still in it.
Additionally Vasell KJ and Primo are simply better this year.
Duh, a year or two removed from their rookie years.
Yeah Spurs all of a sudden have a BIG versatile lineup on both ends. Sliding Keldon down to his natural position has been huge, same with Devin. Sochan is the main reason why this has happened.
Also, Keldon and Devin have both gone to another level from last season.
And Tre Jones has been huge this season. A true PG who pushes the pace and puts pressure on the defense. And when the Spurs do need to play half court offense, Tre gets them into the offense early.
^ also, none of the above can happen with DJM still here, other than Sochan playing the 4. You could still have DJM in Tre's spot, but you don't get the leap from Devin, Keldon and Tre with DJM still here commanding the ball.
DJ Murray is ballin down in ATL.
2-1.
The one loss, Trey Young went Kobme at 9-25 and John Collins was 0-7 on treys. Not DJs fault, solid game 19/8/5 per usual.
Sat, Feb 11 vs San Antonio Book it Dano.
trading stat boy is already paying off
Ya Murray should have done more with this.
God. Stop brining back those nightmares.Ya Murray should have done more with this.
You replace Sochan with either one of those guys tonight and the Spurs lose by 10. Simple as that.
Maybe we shoulda kept white to run pg he’d be fun with this bunch
Wouldn't say he held us back, but maybe more like it is possible he isn't all that impactful of a player. The stats are nice, but they didn't translate to anything more or less than when DDR was our focal point.
Patty hit the side of the backboard TWICE tonight for the NetsYa Murray should have done more with this.
I think Sochan gives the game plan such flexibility on defense which as we all know has been our weakest side on the ball for the last 4 to 5 years or so.
Yes, Tre gives the offense a different factor, and then add in the two wings playing near all-star level ball and you get this success
