Just got word that Murray is suiting up tomorrow...

[poop]

I wouldnt get your hopes up, he could score 40pts and break down any defense, but Pop isnt gonna play him in the playoffs. Thats just how pop is.

[coachmac87]

LMAO OP pretending that's he's connected to the Spurs...

[bklynspursfan]

Well, I'm 99% Murray doesn't see a second in the playoffs unless its garbage time. I know people hate TP now, but that does not make Murray automatically the answer. Especially not this year.

Will he get more opportunity next season to PROVE he can get minutes? Most likely. Especially if he takes this off season seriously. But just putting him in over TP doesn't mean things improve and I dont think everyone grasps that concept.

Agreed. Some people on here talk like they think he is the missing piece to a championship, and that's just not true. Not yet at least

[rjv]

the fact that they are trying to get murray some minutes tonight can't be read into too much; clearly, murray will be on the active playoff roster if he is healthy enough to go but his PT will really be predicated on the health of parker and mills or flat-out desperation mode.

[Fireball]

he will only see minutes in garbage time which will be rare in the playoffs ... and then when the Spurs are down 2:3 and -10 points at halftime in game 6 of whatever round

and that's too bad. one would think had he been healthy over this last month and a half he may have been able to get in more meaningful minutes during the playoffs.

If pop is already saying the warriors are unbeatable, what's there to lose?

Poop is a loser.

There's no guarantee a late first round pick has any future in the NBA tbh, much less the Spurs tbh.

Ummm...tony Parker. Started as a rookie...

OP is a liar

So? Point is, a late first round pick is historically no means a guarantee in the NBA. Even lottery picks are no guarantee. There's a lot more guys who turn out to be scrubs and fall out of the league in a few years than guys who turn out to be good players in the late first round.

Most first round picks from Murray's draft class will be non-en ies in the NBA. Surprised he fell as far as he did considering how weak the rookie class is.

[Budkin]

Pretty sure he'll only play garbage minutes in the playoffs. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

But the post i responded to said no guarantee the spurs would put the future in the hands of a late first round rookie...and I rightfully pointed out they did it with tony parker..and it was the right move...just as this is the right move to play Murray...Murray right now is more talented than a rookie parker

[YGWHI]

There were so many Parker's/Patty's bad games late in the season in where Murray could have had consistent minutes...Now, it seems too late. Anyway, he didnt look that bad in his 5 minutes.

[MultiTroll]

Does his freeness seem to have been taken away?
Almost like he has been ordered to overthink?
