[duncan2k5]

he doesn't know how to fit in... the team has run so much better with White starting. White's skillset has been meshing a lot better cause he's a better spacer and can blend better. Also not playing Beli was a needed albeit obvious adjustment. Playing Demarre and Trey to fill spots helped raise the floor of the performance.

Why should Murray have to fit in with the starting lineup? They won't win anything... Are we really trying to build around LMA and DDR? Get those guys the outta here and put ppl on the court that compliment Murray and u will see him grow exponentially, similar to what they did with Giannis... Giannis was simply a young promising player until they got rid off everyone that didn't compliment him... It was then he became a star

[timtonymanu]

He still has the highest ceiling on the team, IMO. But his floor is among the lowest. He's disappointed to be sure and has earned his demotion...but not over Forbes. A White and Murray backcourt is still ideal.

Yep Pop needs to figure out which buttons to push. Not fair that Bryn gets so many opportunities when it’s because of him that teams can score so easily on us

[timvp]

Damn, dat Lamar Jackson line at the half.

[duncan2k5]

Forbes knows how to pass, dribble, an shoot better than Murray. Murray just played defense better on occasions. An last time I checked, shooting is a major part of basketball. Especially in a league where real defense isn't allowed anymore.

Defense is still played... We are a bad team because we suck defensively... Bryn averages more minutes and a LOT less assists than Murray... And he can't dribble for ... Wtf are u talking about?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Ball wasn't going down yet though.

I wasn't sure if it had gotten over the cylinder. If it was, it doesn't have to be coming down.

Unless they changed that rule, too.

[timtonymanu]

Forbes is better than Murray? never had det one before

[JPB]

Don't forget Murray is coming back from a very severe injury and that it always take one season before getting back to your full self, with many ups and downs. You usually feel good at first and want to eat the court, then there's a backlash and you feel like physically.

[XDT76]

Now I just hope they don't collapse in the 2nd half like the last couple of games

[Genovaswitness]

What? Why? It was a fast break

crowded as drive. either slam it and force the foul or dish it out

And when had Forbes ever displayed handles like this? https://youtu.be/p1TmA-d_R6g

He is a straight line dribble that folds when he meets resistance

[Mugen]

Now we just need a Lonnie for Demarre swap in the rotation so I can switch sides and bury you loser edgelords tbh.

I agree with this... But by no means he should have stopped the break... Lebron just got away with goaltending... That's not on Murray

Fixed tbh

[ZeusWillJudge]

I'm liking this new move by DDR. That wasn't exactly the up-and-under, but close. Shame it didn't fall, but I still like it.

[cd98]

Hold on tight bc AD is going to score a lot in the 2nd half. Spurs can’t let up.

[MoSpur02]

So ignore how horrible he has been simply because he has a good quarter? I hate u ppl

Hasn't he been the Spurs best and most consistent player so far this season?

[MoSpur02]

Murray needs to work more on his handles and control (especially on a fast break) more than his three point shot.

[r0drig0lac]

Caldwell Curry

You're batting .500. He's definitely been consistent.

[Arcadian]

Duncan shot

Not IF LA keeps making him work on defense

[r0drig0lac]

lmao Jakob

[RC_Drunkford]

ting all over AD

[BatManu20]

Worst defensive Spurs team I’ve ever seen. Sucks to watch tbh.

[timvp]

How is the transition defense so terrible? Every time up, KCP and Green are wide open.
