I don't think this narrative works at all. Murray played 65 regular season games last year and 59 this year. He averages 31ish MPG and scores around 20ish points per game. Murray never gets rode hard in the regular season. It's actually something I was kinda nervous about coming into the season. That post ring he'd push hard for regular season success and try to hang 25-28 a night. Murray's always banged up. I think were just seeing a combination of things. He's hurt. Some regression was expected. It's fun but you can't expect him to be a HOFer without any bumps in the road every playoffs. Nuggets coaches/players haven't adjusted at all. Rightfully so after last season their trusting the process. Just makes it look that much worse when an injured player struggling is being asked to carry out a big role. his usage rate this season is 27.9%. his career USG is 24%. Jokic's career USG is 27% he was clearly "rode hard" this season. Jokic-level in fact. if the criticism is he's not as good as Jokic and can't (physically) handle that kind of work load, then the answer is clearly yes. He had basically the same usg rate as Kyrie Irving. He played 59 games and for a month if that he was taking like 14 shots a game and playing less than 30 minutes a night. Murray did nothing crazy in the RS. Here's hoping he pops off tonight.

Only way for Murray to stop the boos. Get us a big lead.

Can't let KAT shoot wide open 3s. Give those shots to MacDaniels all day.

Look much better offensively but still a disaster defensively. Doubling Jokic really sucks too. AG a liability right now.

That's just pure slumping on that last Murray shot. Wide open.

Any time you can get an Aaron Gordon fadeaway jumper you have to take it.

Just can't believe how bad we are defensively. Wolves get an open shot every f***ing possession.

The way Minnesota is shooting we should have been up by 15. But Jokic not shooting and missing the shots he takes, then missing ft's and Murray being clowend by Conley is just disgusting to watch, fuc*

i think D been ok,,offense still sucks Wolves have missed a ton of easy shots. Nuggets generated more open shots in this quarter than Game 2 combined lol. MPJ missing open 3s. KCP missing open 3s. Murray missing an easy floater. Jokic missing everything.

Solid start but Jokic needs to be a lot better.
That's still the key piece - Joker playing his best.

All our shot attempts seem contested. They have easier looks.
