Glad I waited until tonight to vote... We need Conley, he is the only PG we have. Massive oversight by the jazz.

Ya I'm hoping he plays in these last 2 games.

We actually have another point guard besides Conley, he just happens to be injured as well.

Rest em. But we need to win 1 game before the season ends. 1 ****ing game.

Well with the Suns loss tonight this poll became a no-brainer.

I said this under the assumption that Conley was still hobbled.

If the reports are true that he's fine and would have played a couple games ago if it were in the playoffs, then he should have played tonight. Tonight was important.
 
Tonight was not important. We just have to beat two teams that want to lose to be the 1 seed. Also it's very likely Phoenix losses 1 game. It's very hard to win 3 games in 3 nights. I'm also still not convinced the Jazz care about the #1 seed. I think they are hoping for it, but are content either way. Personally I really want the one seed though.

As far as other teams go, positioning wise, you should just ignore that. Don't get cute trying to line up your opponent, it bites you in the *** more often than not.

I would define getting cute as not putting forth a strong effort to secure #1, and have said that for a while. I think our biggest issue, however, will be not having everyone integrated back in. If Don and Mike are really ready to go but we’re being extra cautious, I think it’s short-sighted. It’s sort of like last year when we had a brand new team and we sat most the guys for the preseason and didn’t built any rhythm or comfort, then tried to do it on opening night. Yeah, you could say that, because how long it really took to get everyone integrated, that a few preseason games would be meaningless in the end, but it certainly didn’t position ourselves to hit the ground running, and I’d say most of Conley’s struggles last year were mental. What if he were to have started with a couple strong games?

If you’re throwing Mike and Donovan out there after missing about 15 games and your opponent is the Lakers, then taking the approach of “oh, we can afford to take a couple games to shake off the rust” would be getting cute.

I mean, it will probably end up putting the Lakers in the play-in.

We've gone from staring at a pretty favorable path to the WCF to praying that Curry doesn't get hot in the play-in.

And I'd honestly argue that gambling on being able to use the first round to re-integrate two starters is "being cute".
