Conley is a chemistry problem and we should trade him

Had we kept Rubio....we would probably be undefeated! He was a pass first point guard, he knew our system to a tee, got everybody involved, especially worked well with Rudy and Mitchel and even his shooting was improving. Oh, and by the way he was costing us about half of what were paying Conley! Worst trade we've ever made. Be that as it may, the best we can do now is cut, trade, or just plain dump Conley and stop playing him.

I had really hoped we'd heard the last of this drivel. More than even winning I pray Conley improves so we never have to see another Rubio post again.

Just out of curiosty, how's it going for Rubio in regards to leading Phoenix to the promised land?

We didn't just play bad last night. It was a strategic victory by the Rockets. We can play 10 games using the same lineup/gameplan and I'm sure we will still lose. We are just bad against small lineups because we suck on perimeter defense and switch, even more so than last season. DM or Conley didn't have tunnel visions. They just have trouble executing passes against smaller defenders cuz they have the perfect defending angles. We beat small lineups using lobs and low post scoring. If we play small versus small we will lose. This is when I really miss favors

They had opportunities to get him the ball and didn’t. Maybe it was part of the game plan to have the guards work off the switch. Whatever it was the ball didn’t move and their were points where we were just playing pickup. Had we shot the ball well we still would have won.

PJ Tucker is amazing. I do wonder why he’s allowed to tackle all game but he holds his position so well. I think part of the big picture problem is we seem to only be able to defend one way... funneling to Rudy and when he’s forced out it’s a layup line... same goes for when Tony is in the game... he started out okay but then almost fouled out in 10 minutes.

We got some problems... shrug

Even DM had some tunnel vision last night... the ball didn't move and guys didn't come to play. Mike was bad last night, but he had plenty of company.

Since coming back he's 46% fg with 19% on 3s. If the three point shooting normalizes those are great/phenomenal. He's looked better... except for last night.

I do think we need to stop thinking we will see the savior we thought he'd be... but he is and will be a valuable contributor.

You’re easily a top-5 poster on here. Thank you for your rational thoughts.

No he isn't... There is nothing about this team that prevents a small PG from excelling.

With MC I don't think we're big enough or physical enough to compete in the playoffs in the west. Plus the whole ball dominant factor of Mike's game really isn't what we need to go all the way. We need a bigger and tougher backcourt for starters.

Jazz just need to hit their open 3s at a decent rate and not commit live ball TOs that result in fastbreaks opportunities.
