Murray's the type of guy who thrives off of crowd negativity.

I can't believe KAT can keep up with Murray on the iso, that's something. Murray's shot was better though

Yup. Doing a great job.

idk why ESPN refuses to utilize his talent. I assume he just refuses to do the hot-take garbage so they can't put him on anything other than Scott Van Pelt at 1am EST.

Maybe he can go to NBC if they get the NBA?

Kyle Anderson is terrible on offense

Like the dude barely was able to even dribble with nobody on him and was stubbling

Why didnt the wolves move this scrub?

with Jokic struggling it's definitely a good time for Murray to start playing like an allstar....if they both struggle it's over for them

This is the theme of the series:

Minny is going to double team Jokic.

Can the others win the 4-on-3 battle for Denver?

That's what this is about.

Coming out of highschool he was considered a better prospect than SGA.

Agree with ya'll, I dislike almost all commentators but Legler is no gimmicks commentator with good insights and a normal non-annoying voice.

He's good defensively and sufficient ball handler with NAW and Ant on the floor.

ESPN has said that Nickeil Alexander-Walker was signed as a free agent every single casted game, this season. He was part of the Mike Conley trade.

I hope Jokic isn't forcing his own offense because he's trying to get his crew going before he starts looking for shots.

Better effort from them. Jokic needs to play 44 minutes this game

Murray is going for a 40 point bag tonight, all the (rightfully I might add) booing from the Wolves fans is only going to fuel him to cook

Some players just embrace playing the villian role :)
