The "keep Flip Murray" thread

[Glenn]

For a guy that takes so much shit around here, the guy can play.

He's cheap, versatile and he accepts his role.

Why would they trade him? What better could they get in return?

KEEP FLIP MURRAY!!

[Hermy]

Min. contract. Should be a 10th man on most teams. Not Joe's fault that's all he can spend.

[Timone]

Depends on how many minutes he gets...

[Laxation]

Keep in mind I posted this before todays game...

Though that one shot [Murray] did get was great...

I like Murray. He is a good scorer, and doesn't complain about his job off the bench. Sure, his defence and playmaking might be fucking horrible, but if Chauncey goes down with injury we are screwed anyway, even if Murray was adequate.
He is still the only player (I havnt seen Stuckey yet) I've seen on our team who drives consistently.
Rip was doing better last season, but he will always be a jumpshooter (and rightfully so)

I have always liked the guy, maybe thats because I hardly ever get to see him play, so I only see his scores. Seeing as I never hear him complain about his lack of role in the team, only hearing about how hard he works to get better, I do like the guy.

If he could be consistent, I'd be all for the guy. But it seems like he goes in some real slumps. Not always shooting, but not even getting a comfortable shot.

Flip, MM and Hayes had a nice stretch there in the 3rd(?) that contributed to this win.

Is there a "The Jury is still out" Option j/k

[Laxation]

Is the inconsistently a result of such varied PT?

Or maybe because of Saunders' system, ie. jump shots?

Like I said, I dont see him play enough to determine why. Every time I see him play, he gets into the lane well, but his jumper stinks.

He had stretches last year when he knew he was going to play that he played really good in. Like tonight, he knew he'd get the time.

[Timone]

Glenn, since we saw Fool be brought to tears because of his "It happened" thread, I expect nothing but results from this thread.

[Laxation]

Yes, I do remember when he was put into the starting spot he played well. Whether thats just me remembering the good games or not remains to be seen... anyone have stats handy?

[Uncle Mxy]

For the 2007 season:

18 starts
35.4 minutes per start
10.8 ppg
5 apg
40.6% FG

FlipM is streaky as hell. He'll have great games, then he'll have these games where you're like "what the fuck, what a waste of space". He was horrible in the playoffs against us when he was with the Cavs.

I feel about him the same way I have about Delfino. I feel he can be an asset at times, but I wouldn't think twice about trading him if something decent came along as an alternative.
