Agreed that Murray has the luxury of having Joker take care of things for him until the last 5 minutes of the game. He is not driving the bus, but also tends yo take over the wheel during clutch time.
I think this Minnesota series will tell us a lot about Murray. It's going to be the toughest defense Joker will have to deal with and they have really athletic wing defenders to throw at Murray.
If he can scorch Ant and McDaniels, while Gobert's guarding Joker, then I'll be pretty sure Murray could do it in any situation.

I missed the first quarter, and half of the second, but will go and watch the game now.
Will see how both teams play in game one. It seems Ant is on a mission, with 18 points already. Looking like another 30+ point game on this trajectory. Meanwhile, Murray still only has 0. Maybe he's waiting for the 4th quarter to start scoring...

Apparently Murray’s been playing with a calf injury.
It’s been a very physical game so far.

Is anyone other than Ant Man going to score for Minny this series?
reply
Looks like his teammates finally showed up.
It also looks like Murray’s only going to make circus shots tonight.

Physical and hard fought game indeed. That technical call on Edwards in the 3rd was weak. Refs out of their minds.

Great game

Ant and Naz Reid were unreal. Great game!
