    I don't know, Murray was pretty bad outside of 4th quarter of game 2 and game 5. Certainly nowhere close to the 2023 version or the bubble one. He was shooting like 40% overall, 32% from 3.

    Perhaps it's that calf strain that's bad, I mean Porzingis is sitting out from it.

    Hasn't been a champ caught this off guard since




    I REALLY hate that he was out of our price range

    I knew he was out of our range going in to last summer, but a lot had him as a option with our MLE and the Lakers were hopeful too. Really like his game. Pisses me off.

    ?? What’s the point. If he wants to be there and they want him there to the point of “building around him” …. why put it out there at all he might be available? Would be like us doing that to AD. Wishes of some here notwithstanding.

    I mean you’re right, he wasn’t that great game to game, but he put up 32 on us in game 5, hit 2 game winners, and ran around the whole series flexing and talking trash, so eff him.

    Could be a we're listening but you have to blow us away. Basically if a team is willing to pony up the Minny for Gobert package, come get him.

    I get it, that's why I asked what if he didn't want to play there. It would seem that he'd already be locked up now, instead of heading into the season expiring. IDK

    I guess Minny didn't really need Rudy for this one.

    Jazz are big game hunting this summer according to DA. Probably wants to see what the roster looks like after that, if they can even swing that. Then figure out the financials from there.

    According to him, they haven't sat down yet but he expects that extension offer this summer.

    I was just commenting on the class or lack of it to even dangle him if he wants to be there and they want him. Sure why not I guess but no feelgoods about it for the player.

    I think they should just sit Jokic in the 4th.

    Lakers Twitter is depressing me, keep reminding that we could have had both McDaniels and Alexander-Walker..

    Looking for a positive...I guess at least we have a poor man's McDaniels in Vando.

    We softened them up pretty good. The Nuggets look like the altitude is affecting them, more than the Timberwolves.

    Draft Picks Ainge is like those schmucks who love to make money and not spend it. That’s all he is good for.

    Most good perimeter players cook us when we have no defense at either guard position. Maybe we could've done something if Vando was healthy.
