Jamal Murray – DownToBuck

Jamal Murray 36 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)

2 points in the first half (on garbage free throws with 30 seconds remaining), 34 in the second half (17 in each quarter) for Jamal Murray. If he doesn’t watch out, he’s going to develop an earned reputation as a streaky scorer. The kind of guy who can score 15 consecutive points in the blink…

Jamal Murray 46 Points/9 Threes/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2018)

And here I thought that Jamal Murray was going to be cursed forever by the universe for trying to get 50 against the Celtics by chucking up a last-second three with the game already won. I didn’t have a problem with it, but me and the universe don’t see eye-to-eye on many things (where are…

Jamal Murray 31 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2018)

Jamal Murray is shooting below 30 percent from deep this season. I knew he wasn’t doing well from out there, but I didn’t realize it was that bad. Why isn’t anyone talking about this? This is, like, the perfect time for a bunch of haters to emerge from their swampy hovels and talk crap. But…

Jamal Murray 22 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2018)

The Nuggets have long held hopes that Jamal Murray could be turned into a point guard. If what they mean by point guard is “a true floor general who brings the ball up the court and sets up the offense every time” or “chucker who sometimes is forced to pass because of the triple team…

Jamal Murray 31 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/5/2018)

The top two assist-getters on the Nuggets are a flabby center and Jamal Murray. The flabby center gets way more, but I always think of Murray as more of the “shooty” kind of guard. Not the “passy” kind. But he’s averaging almost five assists per game this season. Who says the “Jamal Murray at point…

Jamal Murray 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/2018)

Jamal Murray continues to suffer karmic retribution for that last-second three he took in a won game while trying to get 50. The universe totally pays attention to that stuff, and when it sees you don’t play according to its rules, it alters physics slightly to mess you up. It can do that, why couldn’t…

Jamal Murray 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/24/2018)

A very Jokic-esque statline for Jamal Murray tonight: 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists. Except for the whole points part. Nowadays Jokic would never score that many, he’s too busy doing his thing to bother with the buckets part of the game. I’m still feeling residual hype from Murray’s 48-point game, but reserves are running…

Jamal Murray Career High 48 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2018)

Monte Morris nudged Jamal Murray, grinning. “Yo, Jamal, those chicks over there are totally checking you out. I think they know you just scored 48, man. And they look like the kind of chicks who would double up on a dude like you.” Murray rearranged himself in his newly-constructed fort. “Nah man, I think they’re…

Jamal Murray 23 Points Full Highlights (10/29/2018)

Jamal Murray needs to be taking/making way more three than he is right now. Only 10 in the first 6 games? I wasn’t calling this guy Maple Curry for no reason. There was a reason, and that reason was that he is the Canadian version of Stephen Curry. He can shoot it from anywhere, and…

Jamal Murray 26 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2018)

I would never have made this highlight video if I had known that almost a fifth of Jamal Murray’s points came off of technical free throws. Those are, indubitably (heh heh), the lamest type of points in all of basketball. Their runtime is short, but their impact on a highlight video is large. Too many,…
