He hasn't been playing much. During that stretch when he was starting, he had periods of being our best player. Like the game I went to against GS, he completely took over the 4th quarter, driving hitting 3's, rebounding, and playing great defense. When he doesn't have the green light with Granger and Dunleavy in the lineup with O'Neal, all he can do is spot shoot, and when he isn't in the flow of the game, he doesn't shoot well.

We aren't winning with Murray on the floor. If you look at the +/- with him starting, he is always on the minus side, and most of the time Diener is on the plus. I just think that the team has played better lately and it is not a result of signing Flip Shot Happy Murray.
With Rush, he was a very good player at one point in the season, but there has to be a reason he has fallen out of the rotation.
