What a joke!
Shocker. League-leader in Steals and Steals Per Game is robbed.
What a joke!
JJ Jr first team is a joke. Dude can't stop fouling out. They put all of one guard on the first team.
smh
B.S.
what a joke
then u have the aussie chump giddey who didnt make all rookie team who won plenty of rookie of the month awards...lol
anyway popularity contest
Who are these 17 people who picked Van Fleet over Murray????
Media trying to let Murray know he won't get accolades in SA
This is what happens when awards are given by votes from the media.
Kobe Bryant making the All Defensive First team 9 times vs. Tim Duncan making it 8 tells you all you need to know. Tim Duncan had 20 rebounds and 10 blocks in Finals closeout game for fk sake. Again, just making a point about the bias. Probably big reason why Kwahi weaseled his way outta here.
The players selected are key for top teams with elite ratings. The Spurs were 16th as a team, so that’s slightly worse than average. Basically Murray and Jakob weren’t enough to make the Spurs a better than average team on D. He’s also getting lit up by elite talents and is not a defensive stopper that you stick on the teams best player which is how some defensive wings started to get renown.
Even VanFleet got more votes than DJ
No MIP, no All-Defensive, no max. Will see a beast mode from DJ next season
Is DJ at the gym yet?
As Spurs fan, you’d love Spurs players to get some love out there. But personally, this is just adding more to this kid’s belly. I think Spurs fans will see another big leap from DJ this coming season. Bulk up a little more to absorb contacts around the rim. This kid is going to be even hungrier
Maybe these snubs is a blessing in disguise for us fans, for DJ not to settle for relatively small achievements. It’s time to hit the weights some more. Get even more better. Let’s go DJ!
^^^
And I wonder if these ulative disses will eventually force Murray to request a trade or sign elsewhere on his next contract so he gets a bit more recognition.
I was cruising I-35 back there, until I hit a big rig with no tail lights
Good. I hope DJM takes it hard and gets better still.
Maybe everyone who voted watches Murray get lit up by Memphis and Ja.
ohhh nooo, how will we ever recover without Dejounte Murray.
I mean Duncan never won a DPOY award despite only 3 times is his entire career being outside the top 5 in team defense. Somehow Dwight won it 4 times.
I always thought you had to have 2 guards per team. I guess not. And it’s embarrassing to see Gobert make 1st team every year just for him to be unplayable in the post season. I know post season lack of success has zero to do with this award but like how does he keep making this team and then just s the bed every year in the POs.
DJ is deserving of this award. More so than Holiday. But nobody watches the Spurs so I don’t expect him to get any recognition. It’s on the franchise to make our team watchable to the media again.
Not saying you can't, either via platoon or by getting fortunate in the draft, but to brush it off as though losing a guy that averaged close to 22/8/8 and was a borderline all-defensive player, that seems short-sighted.
Westbroook was averaging a triple double for 3 or 4 seasons and lead a Oklahoma team to the playoffs and i still think he is and always was a cancer... Murray is a good player, but if we ever wanna be serious team, he would need to be a third option. Thats why i hate that we did not tank as we should. ing Warriors tanked twice in the mean time. The spurs are just a team that has no idea what they are or wanna be.
Definitely a sign of the pre-analytics times... Timmy led the NBA in defensive win shares 5x and in defensive rating 4x. If impact stats had been more advanced at the time, he most likely would've won multiple DPOYs.
