Thanks for the props on the recap. On Murray, playing the position and doing any good are two different things. Remember the verdict during Billups injury about our backup point guard play? Murray was not cutting it. Indeed, Murray got pulled 100% from the rotation. Blalock got some of the blame, but in my opinion, unfairly. The only time this season Murray functioned ok as our backup point was that West coast trip where we won five straight. Hunter was suspended and Blalock was out of the rotation. Unfortunately, even though any five games won on a West coast trip is impressive, the fact is the teams we played on that trip were not that great for the most part. For the vast majority of the time this season, Murry has been unable to run the offense, a liability on defense, a poor shot selector. The fact remains that this effort to make a point guard out of Murray is a unique time in his career, college or pro. He is just not a point guard.
