Official Dejounte Murray aka "Instagram Baller" Apology Thread

[KobesAchilles]

Yeah, because 8 games make a whole career.

I'm sure other teams are just gonna leave Mills wide- ing-open because he shot poorly for a couple weeks.

You obviously don't understand how spacing works, but keep on hating.

It’s not spacing if you don’t make the shot. Look up his playoff stats the year before and the year before that. The dude hasn’t performed well in the playoffs since 2014. Keep defending Mills all you want but it’s 5 bad playoff years in a row. How many does he need for you to realize he doesn’t space the floor? 6 years

Agree on the criticism about the Instagram Baller nickname.

He was equally active on Twitter.


I thought FkLA came up with that name.That's who i heard it from first at least.

I didn't come up with it, I just ran with it like I did with the Wombat nickname. IIRC I want to say TheGreatYacht came up with it.

This started way before last season btw. He's been posting corny workout vids or stuff about "chasing greatness" for years now. This is the first year where his play on the court actually backs up his instagram game. Still remember how disappointing that egg he laid in Summer League heading into his sop re year was.

Did you notice how he led the failed comeback in Game 7 though? They looked dead in the water before he came in for White.

[davidbowie]

my guy just had to drop that dead weight gf Jilly and now he's thriving.

good to see

[acoelho1]

Recency bias. This whole notion that White is not mentally strong only started because of his Game 7 performance. Nobody questioned his mental toughness prior to that and he was considered the most enjoyable Spur to watch last season by pretty much all of ST. He had his share of games that were better than Murray's performance yesterday.

That's not really true. Pop was telling him through out the year that he needs to believe he belongs. Nevertheless, as I said, he will be a solid pro.

[duncan2k5]

Or...he was handled properly and because Pop was hard on him, Murray learned to be the player who he is today. Thats why you see teams with young players who they play a lot and they stay mediocre forever. Where Pop teaches professionalism, others just throw players to the wolves. But ... You will never understand or admit this because of your "hate on Pop" schtick because you think youre an actual NBA coach or executive who thinks he knows what goes on behind the scenes ...lmao

Bro... U don't have to be hard on a player for him to be good... No one was hard on D'aron fox, and he became pretty good... No one was hard on Jokic, and he became elite... Stop this nonsense about ppl needing to be hard on young players... Admit pop's uses his shtick on every young player, and every player isn't the same... Some players need freedom

Ok mr. Nba executive mouthing off as if you know what goes on behind the scenes. You sound like youre in these player's heads. Youre a mind reader now?

[tim_duncan_fan]

As this guy begins to ascend, I just want to ask him:

Please don't a teammate's wife.

Lmao

But that didn't hurt TP's career. It just cost him Eva, tbh.

eva the old hag with the rotten eggs tbh

tony gets him a nice fertile 22 year old and has multiple children with her almost immediately

True but I bet you'd lick the crust off Eva's toes, though, tbh.

[Collins21]

If we had Murray last year do we win that Denver series?

[Rosewood]

Yes.

Though, we would've swept them if we didn't have Mills.

Not even a neckbeard opinion she’s an above average SA Latina girl

[Dejounte]

19 pts and 10 reb with 4 assists in 23 minutes. Thats unreal

[KobesAchilles]

The guy is officially my favorite Spur

[SpurPadre]

He gets bonus points for saying this too:

"No, no, no, no, no, I trust them," Murray said when asked if he would request more time. "They've been doing this a long time. So, I trust them and they know what they're doing."

[RC_Drunkford]

This kid is already taking over games. That ability alone is big time. Once he gets benched the team struggles a lot. I just want to see that midrange jumper to start falling. Most fun to watch Spur for sure. 2nd best player on the team as of now

[acoelho1]

He wasn't disciplined on defense and his shot was off but still had a major impact on both sides. He's only going to get better as the year goes and he might be the fastest with the ball going end to end with the exception of possibly Westbrook.

Westbrook of 3 years ago, maybe. Time takes its toll.

DJs per 36 numbers are unreal. 28.3p 13.7r 7.7a 3.8st

[SuperCam]

Oh brother this dude STINKS. Apologize for what, how much of a scrub he looks like?

The irony of your screen name.

[SAGirl]

He has disappointed. He looked great in preseason and the first few games.

[slick'81]

Hopefully murray continues to improve that stroke or else hes just an over paid bruce bowen

[TimDunkem]

Now is it safe to say that we should've taken Brogdon?

[SAGirl]

Now is it safe to say that we should've taken Brogdon?

Although Murray was my pick, and have rooted for him to improve, spurs massive lost out on Brogdon. Moreover he was ready to play when Kawhi was still here. Unfortunately he would have gotten GLeague and second season with mixed roles/minutes and irregular lineups. We wouldn’t have known his true impact at the time. Probably better for Brogdon to have been drafted elsewhere
