If next season starts and Mal isn’t crazy diesel and cut and he’s still a Nugget i’m throwing my proverbial purse and shittin on the steps of the pepsi center. Not proverbially.
“I can’t remember the last time Murray took over a game”
He literally JUST had 15 points in 4th with clutch shot after clutch shot @ Kings on Monday and is averaging 14 PPG in the 4th last 2 and 11 the last 3 (sat out 2nd half of blowout 4th @ clippers but had 6 in first half of 4th). 😅
Murray the last 3 games (if he plays like this the of the year Nuggets and their fans should love it):
24 PPG
6 APG
3.5 RBG
3 stocks
46/47/88
11 PPG in the 4th with great clutch stats
One of best +/- on the team
His slow starts and injuries are frustrating, BUT the last 2 yrs and so far this year he’s rounding into a very good player post Dec 8. By the way even if you want him gone this summer you should be cheering for him to play well instead of hate watching as that makes it more realistic to trade him.
Jamal stat to show you dope he is in then 4th?!?
Most 4th quarters in the Playoffs in the 2020s with 10+ points?
Murray 17X is #1 with 2nd place only 15x and Murray missed 21/22 Playoffs or he’d be at 20-25x!
Murray 4th quarter ppg & splits in the 2020s Playoffs? 8PPG on 51/47/93 (most ppg of anyone outside of Curry 8.4 who has played in 16 less fourth quarters and 49/39/88 splits).
PS I will personally believe another team trades for 3 back surgeries due 100 million next 2.5yrs MPJ and due 30-35 million next 3.5 yrs Zeke when I see it. I like MPJ, but that doesn’t mean w/ those 3 back surgeries and mid basketball IQ/defense that his contract is not a “bad contract”
PSS I’m big Westbrook guy too (especially OKC Westbrook) but Miro (who I like a lot) is wrong that “He’s a Top5 PG ever (He’s clearly behind Magic Curry Oscar Isiah CP3 Stockton & Jerry West like Curry combo guard played some PG too… you can argue he’s behind Harden too or at least their close though I suppose Harden West Curry all combo guards just like LeBron is essentially a PG too or point forward…Jokic a point center too)!
December 2024
Murray 20.2, 6.5, 2.8, 2.5 stocks +3.7 on 46/45/89 (6 games)
Westbrook 10.5, 7.6, 4.0, 2.8 stocks +0.3 on 48/23/42 (8 games)
In December Murray has been better for sure and his last 3 games he’s been very good.
