For me the really interesting part is the end, about Flip Murray. "I've been in this situation before, know what they're trying to do here, as far as developing the young fellas, me being a veteran, I've seen that before. I know what it takes for a team to be able to do that." "(Murray stays positive by) just knowing it's tomorrow. Tomorrow, I might have a chance to play." Murray was asked if he thought his days with the Pistons were numbered. "I'm not talking about that," Murray said. "I don't know. If I am (traded), I am. If I'm not, I'm not."
That's a tough row to hoe. "Tomorrow, I might have a chance to play." I guess it's important to remember sometimes there are real living, thinking, feeling human beings under those uniforms. |
excellent point. as maddening as murray was to watch out there, i've also felt a little sorry for him when i see him on the sidelines in a suit, or coming onto the floor (in his suit) to pat guys on the back when they come over for a time out.
two other interesting points: stuckey citing Joe telling him to stay aggressive and push the ball up the floor when he's in (that's something a number of forumites had already pointed out as critical to his success). And then chauncey asserting the team's need of Amir.
so who knows? maybe, at least for the time being, something's have shaken loose over the past few days and are now pointing in a better direction.
