Game Thread 12/28. Suns at Spurs 7:30 CST (8:30EST, 3:30 AM Riga Time)

[vander]

Sean comparing Murray to Westbrook

also called him a "natural passer"

[NASpurs]

No way the Spurs go after a point guard next offseason if they believe that DM is the future and Parker is still under contract. He's going to get his time next year.

[dabom]

Can't wait for the Kawhi/LMA/Murray Big 3, tbh.

Murray is legit. I'm ready.

[$pursDynasty]

Oops Raptors down by 18 already

[bklynspursfan]

Idk why Murray isn't burning clock

[GSH]

Sean comparing Murray to Westbrook

Yeah, that may be a little premature.

[FkLA]

Idk why Murray isn't burning clock

Oh ok, so only Enrique can play hero when the Spurs are up 20?

[SAGirl]

Dijon looking more comfortable out there. Wish he could have been ready this season.

Season is not over... they released Nico counting on him I think.

[NASpurs]

You can bring that up with coach. I am merely stating the obvious. Davis has never played the 3 for Pop.
Kyle struggled tonight and from the fallen tree everyone cuts wood.... but you are the one that keeps making this about Kyle. Davis has always been a big and I have never seen him be anything else.. I know he played something else in Europe but Kyle was a PG in college... doesn't matter what they were. Matters what they play for Pop and I have only seen him be a big.

I could have sworn that Davis played like five minutes with Gasol and Aldridge earlier this year.

[DarrinS]

Nice win, but anyone mocking Kawhi in their avatar needs their man card revoked. You know who you are.

[GSH]

damn, the Warriors are destroying the Raptors 22-4 right now

All you have to do is have a player start the game 0-6 against the Dubs, and that can happen. Good thing we don't have anyone like that.

[$pursDynasty]

Yeah, that may be a little premature.

Too be honest he was comparing him to rookie Westbrook who wasn't the monster he is now

[BillMc]

Victory!

[Kawhitstorm]

Sean comparing Murray to Westbrook

6'5" Brandon Jennings:

[SpurPadre]

Murray's a lot taller and lankier than Russ, but he's not nearly as athletic.

No one in basketball is as athletic as Westbrook.

[$pursDynasty]

Exhibit z of the silliness of raw +/-, both and Fathead were +14, but had vastly different games Tonight

[$pursDynasty]

One was 10 for 12 the other 0 for 6

[FkLA]

My ...

Stonecutter's creedo, my nig. More times than not our boys come through.

[TimDunkem]

Fathead is so terrible.

[Mnky]

Yeah, that may be a little premature.

They're very similar at the same age. Westbrook is a once a lifetime athlete and compe or, obviously no one is on that level, but if you look at Westbrook and Murray college tape, they're very similar.

I think it has a lot to do with body language too, he seems to just remind me of Westbrook since I first saw his scouting videos.

Westbrook wasn't nearly as explosive consistently as he is now at a younger age as well. Dudes body was still growing and maturing. He's just special to grow and develop for so long athletically tbh.

[Nathan89]

Murray is going to be great if he can learn how to shoot. You can already see his knack at going to the rim.

[SAGirl]

No way the Spurs go after a point guard next offseason if they believe that DM is the future and Parker is still under contract. He's going to get his time next year.

I don't know how else to interpret the Nico Lapro situation. Originally I thought he wanted out to play in Europe like Nando... the tweet about him still being in town and waiting for options changes my frame of mind.

Pop may really just want to develop Dijon and give him all available garbage minutes + rest games... to get him as ready as possible for next season.

I mean, there is even the possibility of Manu retiring and I don't know if they can retain Simmons or if that is even in their plans. They need Dijon to grow up and I would expect him to be fed opportunities.

[GSH]

You can bring that up with coach. I am merely stating the obvious. Davis has never played the 3 for Pop.
Kyle struggled tonight and from the fallen tree everyone cuts wood.... but you are the one that keeps making this about Kyle. Davis has always been a big and I have never seen him be anything else..

I could have sworn that Davis played like five minutes with Gasol and Aldridge earlier this year.

No, I don't think he's played with both Gasol and Aldridge. And Anderson has played the bulk of his minutes, technically, as a 2 this year. And someone SHOULD take it up with Pop.

[Kawhitstorm]

Murray's a lot taller and lankier than Russ, but he's not nearly as athletic.

Not to mention WestBrick is built like a DB while Murray is probably the lightest 6'5" player in the league.

[SAGirl]

No, I don't think he's played with both Gasol and Aldridge. And Anderson has played the bulk of his minutes, technically, as a 2 this year. And someone SHOULD take it up with Pop.

You have a good point with Anderson playing the 2...
Again, I have only seen Davis be a big. He just had 3 fouls in 3 minutes... by the way. And I am not trying to get on you GSH. I want to see Davis... I am not trying to be facetious...
