Murray makes things so much harder on himself.

He's playing bad AND something is up. Both can be true. Been watching him for a while. It's not the missed shots - it's everything else.
Altitude, too, perhaps.

Yeah, he's no longer that DPOY level defender that made GSW's defense worse once he joined them.

I'm used to KD making just about every shot he takes tbh

The Suns have to get Durant easier shots.

Murray's stroke is OFF. He's not gonna have a good shooting night.

Can TNT just stop lumping Jokic and Murray together on those star charts they show? It’s heavily insulting to Jokic.

He's allowed to be a bad player, especially as he ages.
Don't think he's bad, just coming off multiple injuries. But with KD, he doesn't get any passes. If he's on court, there's 'no way' he's not 100% apparently.
Some of yall think he's like 27. Lol.
No, I'm aware he's old. That's what I'm attributing it to.

Why work for an easy shot when you can take a contested fade-away instead:?

The Bruce Brown pickup by Denver was so nice. What a useful dude to have in a playoff rotation.

Plausible for sure.

Bruce Brown is a notably better player than Murray. Doesn’t have the flashy dribble package and wont get as hot shooting the three but he pretty much does everything else better.

Suns maybe should just go to the Kyrie-Lebron offense.
Book gets to push and see if he likes it. If not, throw it to KD and screen Gordon off him (and Murray onto him).
