This isn't a diss track, but we're in it to win it this year if he plays great. It needs to happen now.

The loss against Memphis sucked. We were reminded last year what one loss can mean come playoff seeding. I can't help but put most of the blame on Conley. Yeah Green was asleep and Bradley was pathetic. Bojan only shot 5-16(31%). Royce was 1-5 FG. Ingles didn't do much at all. But Conley played 35 min. He used only one of his fouls. He was 5-19 FG(2-8 3 pt) for 26%. He was 3-5 FT. He only had 3 AST. He had 4 REB and 1 STL. To contrast, even though Mitchell sucked from 3pt(1-8) he was still 9-21 overall, he was 10-10 FT, had 9 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL and 1 BLK.



To give an overview after 12 games for Conley:

His career assist average is 5.7. After 12 games he is at 3.9.

His career FG% is 44%. After 12 games with us he's at 35%.

His career FT% is 81.8%. So far this season he is at 76.5%(last year he was 84.5%)

Last year he had 5.8 FTA/game, this year 4.2

I also hope ingles funds his 3point shoot...
28% from 3 is way off for ingles.

And you know what? Im confident both of them will raise those percentages

I hope he funds it, too. He could even do so with that extra $14M he got. I’ve never seen a three point shot so well funded, but he and the rest of us deserve it.
 
How much does it affect Conley's game that Royce can't be counted on to score?

Yamers with the glass half-full. Amazed you didn't refer to him as the meat-hanging-off-the-bone corpse of Joe Ingles.
 
What are Conleys stats for the last six games
Those should be more in line with his career stats

37% on 32-85 FG over the last six games. Also 3.5 APG. His assist avg. has gone down since the first six games.
 
Should Conley be shooting 19 shots? We have Don, Bojan and now Rudy. Maybe Mike would help his game by focusing less on shooting and more on distributing. Maybe even try Jingles as starter to take pressure off Conley and jump-start Joe, as some people have advocated for just for Joe.
