A flight from Memphis to New York is about 3 hours and the UFC event ended around 1:30 AM EST. Denver is without Jokic so on top of poor play this seems like exceptionally poor leadership from Murray, who is supposed to be the best player in Jokic's absence.

  4. CJ Abrams, Jamal Murray, Kyler Murray, the three stooges of letting outside hobbies impact their game.

  8. Denver has peaked. He’s unmoveable on that contract and no help is coming, because of that contract.

    His TS is 51% this year. That’s below Josh Giddey and Kris Dunn.

  9. The decline of his athleticism is the most shocking thing about him this year. Last year, we could say that he was constantly injured. But this year he appears to be completely healthy and completely out of shape. It looks like he doesn’t actually train or take basketball seriously when he isn’t playing.

  10. Being out late isn’t really the same for athletes who perform at night

    Flying and the toll travel takes on an off day in the middle of a team road trip? Yeah, that’s an issue

  12. guy is getting paid $36 mil this season, $46 mil next season, and then $50+ million a season from 2026-29. Fuck…

  18. He’s one of the worst PGs in the league, like who wouldn’t you take over Murray at this point?

  20. I had no opinion of Jamal until he threw shit onto the court last playoffs.

    It’s been quite a fall from grace.

  22. Ppl are gonna be blaming him going to the ufc fight but he was trash last game too. He’s just inconsistent and has never stepped up in the regular season

  26. Murray going for worst contract in the league. isn’t even worth the game winners against the Lakers, which aren’t required if he played the NBA average.

  28. I’m ngl I don’t think his flight has a thing to do with this. He’s obviously just over the hill and unless he’s just on fire one night this is what it is

  31. I just want to say fuck my fellow Nuggets fans in the Nuggets sub who downvoted and trolled me when I said I was worried about his play this summer and how upset I was about how out of shape he was in the pre-season when we gave him a bag and it’s his literal job to be ready to play well. How’s it all looking now?

  32. Nikola Jokic is shooting a higher percentage from 3 than Jamal Murray is on layup attempts. He also has more turnovers than 3 pointers made.

  33. It’s crazy how every Kobe wannabe, Mamba mentality guy only tries to copy his game and his swagger, but they never pay attention to his work ethic and his sacrifices off the court to focus on his game.

    If you are paid 200 mil, and you are playing like shit, at least make it look like you give a fuck.

  35. Coming from an MMA fan, UFC 309 on paper was an awful card. The fact that he thought this card was worth blowing off work for honestly kinda makes me think of him as a more of a casual fan

  36. Hell yeah finally people are starting to turn on him I’ve been salty since he dribbled around Lonzo

  38. That card was ass so I’m sure it drained him as much as it drained me to watch. I wasn’t very productive at work today and I’m blaming it on me watching that card all night

  40. I thought maybe they played somewhere near NY the night before, like Philly/DC or something. Nope. NO -> NY -> Memphis. Just brutal, all for a UFC fight.

  42. I’d be so pissed if I was his teammates. Feel like the coaches should step in when someone doing something this silly.
