Suns fans were having flashbacks when Murray started hitting those 3s in the 4th
My favorite cuisines are:
1. Thai
2. Italian
3. Turkish
4. French
5. Chinese/Indian tie
And you have suns fans saying healthy mpj and Murray don’t impact the 2021 series lol
Guessing most of his wins came in suns dark years, before they were good? since he missed last season and a half, give or take…
Murray has always played very well against us!
This is only the 3rd season suns have been good in his career
If you want to know how meaningless regular season matchups are on a playoff series, the Warriors had a record of 4-10 against their four playoff opponents. They were 1-3 against the Nuggets, Grizzlies and Mavs, and split the series against Boston.
I’m hoping both teams are healthy and meet in the playoffs. DA vs Jokic is always fun
Luka: And I took that personally.
One thing to note about this: people forget how absolutely garbage the Suns were for like 7-8 years lmao.
Between 2011 and 2019 they averaged like 29 wins, only having a positive season once (2013-2014). I feel like almost every player that’s been in the league for 5-10 years has a positive record on them
And this isn’t to discount Murray, I’m a huge fan of his game & this Nuggets team is beyond cracked (they’re my favorites for winning the West). But the first three years of his career on the Nuggets, the Suns went 24-58, 21-61, and 34-39. They were awful outside the Bubble Suns moment so I’m not shocked that he has such a great record against them — ESPECIALLY since he missed last season, the Suns best season in a long time
