I'm a little worried about Conley

framer said:
Rubio was a massive liability on defense last year, no matter what his measurements are. The blocks are important not that they show Conely was good at blocking shots, but that he apparently was more effective at bothering shots than the taller Rubio. If we are allowing teams to post up Conley, the entire scheme has failed.

Whatever arguable benefits Rubio gave us defensively are simply swallowed by the offensive upgrade of Conley.

Rubio wasnt a liability on defense and far from a massive one.

I think a lot of people saw him in matchups against fox, Westbrook etc, where it was clear, that he didn't have the footspeed to keep up with them. But in overall defense over the whole regular season, the numbers say he wasn't a liability. Hewasnt the best rated guard defensively in our team, but he wasn't a clear liability by any stretch.

The point was his defense, not offense.

Yeah, Rubio’s offense killed our defense. His bricks got other teams going in transition. His lack of gravity left more opponents in position to get more defensive rebounds and run against us.

Not sure why you can’t make the connection. But, on the other hand, it is likely as difficult for me to account for anyone who would consciously use words like “derpy”. So I guess we’re even.

Your logic is so derpy, by your stupid logic James Harden is the best defender in the league

Conley + Gobert vs. Rubio + Gobert is apples to apples. Try to stay on topic.

I haven't watched a lot of Conley's defense in the past, and maybe it will get better in the regular season, but through preseason he is MUCH worse than Rubio.

You haven't watched Conley's defense in the past, even though he's been in the NBA for over 11 years. And your judgement of him has been what you have seen through the pre-season?

Well my friend, you opinion of anyone means nothing. You've never payed attention to someone that has been a starting PG in the Western Conference for over a decade and just noticed he showed up on the Jazz roster, so thought you'd watch him and you're not satisfied based on his pre-season play.
Quit watching basketball right now. Your not a fan, and I don't even know what you are. But your opinion is garbage. You have never watched Conley play in over a decade!!!?? Wow. I wouldn't be bragging about that right about now, and I definitely wouldn't be formulating an opinion.

What a ridiculous thing to worry about. Sixers have Ben Simmons who can't make a basket and he's 6"6. I also recall a Jazz team who made it to the finals with a 6"1 Stockton who was actually 5"11.5 and a 6"4 Hornacek who was actually 6"3. Your worried about the Lakers Switches with Lebron and AD?? Wouldn't that switch put a 7"2 Rudy Gobert against a 6"7 Kuzma in the paint?? This is absolutely insane.
Ya know what? Your right. Fans, please kiss all hopes goodbye because our back court is about 1 inch shorter on average to the rest of the league. WE WILL NEVER WILL A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THOSE NUMBERS. Because our little fellas will get switched onto by other teams forwards and centers and then I guess we're screwed. Small back courts can never make it in today's small ball NBA system. Your absolutely right. Are you by chance a mortician? Because you sure know how to spread darkness over nothing.

Do you always think of the worst case scenario and "worry" about it? Should we celebrate Christmas? Is that ok? After all its a celebration of a birthday of a guy that died, should we talk about that too? Is there a grey cloud that follows you around wherever you walk??

Simmons is 6’10

I think Conley is doomed in a way that few understand. His astral energy smacks of a man who has dipped his toe a little too far into Enochian magic in a sad attempt to hedge against his aging joints.

But that shouldn't be a problem we will see on the court this year.

I really like this post.

I have no idea why I like it

I have no idea what it means

They left out the best part. It's not only a picture of Gordon Traitor Hayward in pain with a broken ankle, but I added "Beautiful" on the top border and "moments" on the bottom border. I would be happy to send you my oil painting replica of it if you'd like? Revenge on a lying, backstabbing traitor is truly a beautiful thing.

You're arguing that offense has a correlation to defense? Yes to a VERY MINOR effect, but no, Rubio was a better defender than Conoly based on height, length, and weight
