Murray is trash to me. He'll never make it off the bench, if he even make it out the D- league. If He don't get cut from the D- league, an have to go overseas.

[SAGirl]

thanks... channel changed transmission and is showing the Sixers game where they are going on about how Ben Simmons is basking in the glow taking selfies and signing autographs and taking a game off in SL... wow

[TheGreatYacht]

Ulis is so much better than Murray so far it ain't even close. Not giving up on him though..... But at the posters wanting him to start last week

[tonight...you]

jermaine... c'mon man. C'mon.

[Darius Bieber]

Blow it up tbh. Pathetic.

[LakerHater]

thats a charge

[lilbthebasedgod]

Murray seriously needs to finish. He's obviously the most talented player on the court but his finishing has been terrible.

Murray will be fine His advanced ball handling, and natural long strides/quickness will make him into something in this league. His ability to become a better shooter, and finisher will come once he has a better feel for the game.

[jermaine]

jermaine... c'mon man. C'mon.

I'm saying he's whole first season will be in the D- league getting over himself an getting his bbiq up. You know I ain't lying. I know he's young, so I expect all that. But I thought, he'd play this yr.... He won't. Not for Pop!

[SPURt]

Murray finishes like a dipped in Novocain.

[objective]

Look at who has been the worst of the 1st round picks in SL w/ regards to PPP:

Well, I guess you could say his offense matches his defense.

[TheGreatYacht]

Becky giving Ndoye a 30 second cameo then brining CJ Williams in

She's gotta stop giving all these scrubs playing time.

[TheGreatYacht]

I pray Becky never becomes our coach. She'd give Matt Bonner and Reggie Williams mandatory playing time. Smh

First time watching LJC this year. Dude looks good.

[TheGreatYacht]

First time watching LJC this year. Dude looks good.

No way man..

[Ditty]

I don't think LJC looks that bad. He does look slower, and less athletic compared to last year. It doesn't help that the guards don't see him open when he rolls.

[Chinook]

No way man..

Yeah. I didn't see the game last night nor the first stint today, so I'm not going to say everyone's been wrong this whole time. But if that's what people is calling horrible, then it's just something I disagree with. Dude will be fine with coaching.

[Ditty]

Come on Murray stop ball watching on defense...

[SAGirl]

I don't want him to park in the corner. All I'm saying is, if he can't find his niche somewhere else, and his shot looks as improved as been said here, then AT LEAST he could contribute doing that now. You couldn't even play him in that role last season.

But, again, I'm with you in that we'll have to see how Pop wants to play with this talent. How roles are assigned and especially what kind of style he wants to play with them. My guess looking at what we've been able to see (this is why I wanted to see Bertrans), is that we're going to go back to playing by committee. And hopefully they younger get better, the new guys are hungrier, and we end up with something there.

Pop will have to design a system that takes advantage of his best players. That is all am saying. If he doesn't get the best out of the young players that he has right now, the team isn't going anywhere. That does require that they get the ball in places they can do something with it (as opposed to spotting up if you are not ideally a spot up shooter, or cutting if you are not a cutter, but Kyle improving the 3 means that he can fit in many more things than he could previously and he will be able to open up the floor for others' running plays and benefitting with open shots for himself.) Just shooting the 3 is unlikely to be all he can do, bc he's a very good passer and with both Diaw and West missing, he will get the ball to find cutters as well as attack for himself much more than you saw previously. Not saying the whole thing will revolve around him or what Simmons can do, but what players call their games will be added into the mix... and Manu has to adapt too. Maybe he's the one cutting and screening more. Maybe he's the one spotting up more. Etc.

jermaine... c'mon man. C'mon.

He was ready to start only a few games ago.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah. I didn't see the game last night nor the first stint today, so I'm not going to say everyone's been wrong this whole time. But if that's what people is calling horrible, then it's just something I disagree with. Dude will be fine with coaching.

I was with you when everyone was riding the Murray hype last week, but Jean-Charles... He's a poor man Mbah a Moute, and Mbah a Moute is already a poor player

[Ditty]

Man if only Simmons was in his early 20's...

[Chinook]

I'd take Mbah a Moute in a heartbeat. The Spurs are probably in the Finals if they had him on the team last year.

Your evaluations of players are so consistently poor that I'm wondering if LJC is actually going to be a player now.
