You keep supporting the mediocrity of Murray… he let the Joker down through his pathetic playoff performance. It isn’t about the past… it’s about the future. Always excuses about Murray.
I can’t wait until next season. Jamal will show up and clown these idiots who live online. We’re being slept on which is a great position to be.
You want to know the difference between Murray and Luka? Murray now makes 10 million dollars per year more than Luka. Let that sink in.
"I don't think Jalen Pickett and Hunter Tyson are going to be viable this year. I could be wrong." No. You couldn't! Jalen Pickett is in Malone's dog-house . . . on the undersea continent of Atlantis! Jalen Pickett sleeps with the fishes! He's worthless and Malone isn't going to play him. He played 2-way PG Colin Gilespie ahead of Pickett last year, which angered Booth so much he let Gilespie walk to Phoenix and didn't even offer him a contract. These are little regarded 2nd round players who didn't pan out. No surprise the only problem is that Booth stupidly gave them a combined $10 guaranteed contracts. That useless chode is why the Nuggets don't have a veteran 3rd string PG who might actually be able to play in case of injury to Jamal or Russell.
It may be a convenient or even lazy excuse to say he has been injured. The Canadian coaching staff said he was not injured and apparently nobody reads his blank injury report.
Nobody hopes Murray has an amazing year more than me. For most of it, we just have to wait and see. But, the idea that the playoff injury was the story of last season for Murray isn’t accurate. He played 5/8 of the regular season. If anybody takes the time to review box scores of last season’s losses, it’s as clear as can be, point guard play was a big part, or the part of every loss. Both Murray and Jackson played like crap in every loss. Murray had injuries and times he seemed to lack motivation. Hopefully he has things figured out. If things don’t turn around for him, the Jokic era is screwed……..at least in Denver. 🙃😎
If tou really believe that jamal for this season, will be a hundred percent HEALTHY to play all 82 ganes and have an impact worth that money for four years, ill post his stats in rhis comment his game stats for you to peove my point. He is nothing wirhout Jokic as the olympic game had proved it. If Jokic truly believed the hype of Jokic-Murray duo, Jokic would endorsed Westbrook coming this season. Jokic is looking for viable partner in his game play. Maybe russ this year, just expanding his options
For some time now he has struggled to get loose balls or play defense. His short arms and lack of athleticism makes it difficult against today's players. We shall see how this plays out.
Arms are too short and he won’t make up for it by being in incredible shape, plus his attitude is always poor and Uncle Russ don’t play that🏀
I believe tiger don’t loose their stripes. Murray going to be Murray and coast through much of regular season. I really hope he proves me wrong.
How are you been doing swipa it's good to see you back i can't wait for the season I'm looking forward this season.lets go Nuggets god bless everyone 🙏
Here we go Swipa with the yapping 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I’m here for it. There is 0 doubt the best hosts are from Locked on Nuggets Adam, Matt, Swipa and Ryan.
Mainstem media and DN media pushed story about Best Two man game so the could discredit Jokic greatnes..
Denver N dont have best ,,Two Man Gama'' Denver have best One man game and that is Nikola Jokic.
Jokic can play best ,,Two man game'' with Luka with Bogdanovic Avramovic Micic Gery H and on.. Jamal is just another dude little above average player thats it ..
Jamal is player that play with the bench and with team Canada that is the reality ..
If Ben Simmons were Nugget, he could have made a lot of money just on IFS and potentials.
My issue is not that Jamal got an extension (its still an overpay for the number of games he plays) but a component has not been discussed; it is the simple fact Jamal being so inconsistent and injury-prone has shortened the Jokic championship window and possibly opens Jokic up to burn out.
Russ will take the pressure off of him, maybe create open shots for him.
Jokic would you stop getting players over paid already. Murray is a bust for that much of the salary cap. Lazy GM.
I’m with Swipa on this one, Jamal is our guy and he will prove himself, just like he had before
thank you for a sane jamal take. hes not above critique but man these panicky takes are exhausting
Only thing that worries me about Jamal is that he showed lack of character against Minnesota, throwing shit on the court was weak af. I hope he can bounce back, coz when he's on that mf there's few better guards than him, especially in the playoff. Hope he stay healthy and play with hunger and 🔥, still believe in him.
