“With how the game has changed, with speed and quickness and being an uptempo game, he should be a rotation guard,” James said. “He can play as well as any point guard in the NBA and he can probably defend any point as good in the NBA.”

The question is why didnt he get a chance --even in a 3 guard alignment to play some ball? We couldve easily used both Aldich and Murry in something other than clean up minutes.

Sorry but with our record, there has been plenty of clean up garbage minutes!

Now if Woody would had invested in Copeland and Murray the wAY HE INVESTED IN "YOU WANNA GET THE PIPE" JR Smith, we wouldn't have this timidity problem under the big lights as the season went along.He tried to stick Cope in at the end of the season and the 2nd season, why not in the middle of the season ,

Probably because he is the fourteenth man.

Yeah, I don't understand why NBA coaches just don't get that they're just one Harvard grad away from an 18-6 record? That the thing to do is to always remember that sitting at the end of the bench doesn't necessarily mean that what you see in hundreds of camps, practices and shootarounds is not really, truly what a player is capable of. That every single player at the tail end of every single NBA roster is possibly just waiting for the chance to be the next LockdowndefensivespecialistBlockMachineEnergyGlueHighIQGuy.

That guys posting on internet boards obviously know more than NBA coaching staffs do. Seriously.

Except that's not exactly the case here. You're exagerrating when you imply anyone touting giving Murry a shot thinks he's some savior. The issue is that our _starters and secondary guards_ ARE ACTUALLY atrocious. Our _starting and secondary guards_ are SO BAD and/or SO INJURED, that we have nothing to lose and everything to gain simply by giving Murry a shot and seeing what he can do. Just talking defense, it is not possible to be any worse than our current rotation players.

OK, so I get the arguments defending Woodson's performance _to the extant_ that no other available coach could do a much better job given the current state of the team. However, there is literally NO excuse that he has not given this kid one minute of play, just to see. To me, it's inexplicable and ridiculous that Woodson hasn't even played him a minute.

MURRYSANITY COMING IN HOT! Time for a magical 2 week stretch

Nah, won't happen...

We were blessed by the basketball gods with Linsanity and p***ed away the free gift because Dolan felt he was disloyal- they won't shine their light on us again
