MIKE ****ING CONLEY BABY!!!

[LoPo]

I guess this board needed something to divide everybody after Exum was traded.

We should be encouraged by what we’re seeing. Is it sustainable? I suppose we’ll find out. For the time being, I’m gonna sit back, enjoy the fact that Mike is playing well, and hope it lights a fire under Ingles and Royce’s asses as well. Why those two get such a pass from Jazz fans is beyond me.

Maybe because Ingles and Royce play every game and combine to make a third of what Conley makes this year. Next year, the pressure will escalate but they still will combine to make half of what Conley is paid.

We brought in Conley to be a borderline all star. We pay Ingles and Conley to do dirty work.

The attempts to put Mike on the same argumentative playing field as Joe and Royce are laughable.

Sure, I’ll criticize Joe and Royce. But the costs of acquiring Mike—and what those costs may portend for the future of the franchise—put Mike in an entirely different stratosphere, thank you very much.

“I wonder why we pick on Mike, but continue to give Randy Rigby and his continuous toxic impact a pass?”
—and other such desperate relativisms from silly Jazz fans.

Speak for yourself. Rigby was awful. Within the past year I’ve nearly started a thread on Steve Starks (as opposed to Rigby) appreciation thread, and to finally have someone who’s not completely clueless.

Yeah, I’m obvi a big Rigby supporter.

If Randy has Trump’s twitter game, maybe you’d feel differently?

If Randy had a modicum of loudness and passion in his twitter as Trump, none of us would know who Steve Starks is.

Like most people with an IQ over 80, I understand Conley’s salary compared to Ingles/Royce’s, the cost of bringing Conley in, and what expectations came along with his acquisition. I do however appreciate you taking the time to circle back and point all of that out.

At this point, Conley’s salary vs production is a discussion for the offseason. The way I see it, we’re starting the home stretch and it seems as if we’re starting to get the best version of Conley since joining the Jazz. Hopefully it continues. As far as Royce/Ingles, obviously it’s not an apples to apples argument with Conley, but what I do know is that they’re both integral pieces to our rotation and that have both looked like dog **** for quite awhile.

He was averaging 15/5 in the previous 10 games before the big night in Boston.

Also, pre injury his last 10 games were 17/7. You have your sample size he is just the current heel for jazzfanz.com.

Let's not talk about Ingles complete disappearing act for damn near a full season or more though cause he's a fan favorite. Or how about Royce literally putting up about 3 to 5 points a game on his new contract. Nope, it's all about Conley.

10 games before his injury, jazz record 4-6. While he was injured, jazz record 16-4. Record over the last 10 games, 6-4. So 10-10 with him playing the absolute best he has during this season, 16-4 not playing at all.

I really hope the Boston game is what we can really expect, where Conley not only plays well but where it also leads us to a win. That matters more than all the 16 point "break-out" games in the world.

Thanks for circling back and pointing out how a post that wasn’t addressed to you made you feel.

So a louder version of an otherwise-identical Rigby would have been legendary. Copy that.

We don’t come close to winning this game without him. He’s really starting to come to form. I think it’s time for some apologies and time for 95% of this board to eat some crow.

We've won ONE game against a quality team on the road with him. He needs to do more than that to get an apology from me!

This is a very fair stance. All I’m going off is the eyeball test and it just seems to me that Mike has started to turn the corner. That being said, the whole Conley experience thus far has been extremely up and down to say the least, so who the hell knows what next week looks like?

It appears the Jazz may have found a lineup combination with Conley that really clicks. In 54 minutes (obviously a very limited sample size), the Conley/Clarkson/Ingles/Niang/Bradley lineup has an eye-popping 35.7 net rating. It'll be fun to see if they can keep it up against Detroit tonight.

I mean, he scored 25 but yeah. Also, can't blame 1 player for an entire team literally ******** the bed for a long stretch of games.
