Jamal Murray is a fraud who hit a couple game winners after making GBS threads himself relentlessly for 80% of each of the games in that series

beating the Lakers was less than meaningless, this is the first real test this year and LMAO

Come on man he absolutely cooked Minnesota and LA last year. Averaged 26 in the whole playoffs

This Minnesota team is built different. I can't believe it

he was great in the bubble, too

but you could sub in a genuinely elite point guard and make the team a lot better. guards are taking over everywhere. Shai, Brunson, Ant (I know he's a shooting guard), Kyrie, even Mitchell somehow. Even the Pacers have a really good point guard, probably. But Murray? Murray??? Where is he??? Lift up that toilet lid and take a peak. There he is.

Murray is perfect for Denver, a combo guard who has good length.

Denver needs more size; they're built for the other 28 teams in the league

they have Aaron Gordon and MPJ, that's a lot of size next to Jokic, and their guards are lengthy wing defender types, too

maybe you mean their bench tho

I think it's important to point out that Tim Connelly assembled the current Nuggets roster before he was hired away by Minnesota. Going into Minnesota Connelly knew exactly what he built with Denver and knew what he had to do to stop them: length to counter Jokic with Gobert and KAT, a super-athletic wing to frustrate denver's poor perimeter D in Ant, and tough defenders in Reid, Walker, Anderson top to bottom. If there's any team that's built to stop the Nuggets it's Minnesota

Murray would put up much better numbers with a higher usage rate and also without constant injuries. He's proven enough in the playoffs bubble or not that I'd say he's proven himself to be on a similar tier with some of the guys you mentioned. Like you said though it is a golden age for guards so it's virtually impossible for him to make the ASG when he gets hurt every year

I mean no I mean ag is a dawg, he is smaller than kat but he is way better defensively and way stronger core. Mpj is tall but he is too skinny and against elite defense he can't get his shot off.

This entire team is built to shoot, but it looks like the wolves are just swallowing up denvers wings.

This is bad
