Technically we tried to achieve what Phoenix achieved with CP3 by acquiring Conley. The guy is skilled enough to make up for the lack of size and athleticism. But the harsh reality is that Conley isn't anywhere near as talented or skilled as CP3, so his lack of size and athleticism gets exposed in a big way and now the Jazz has to face the fact that they have to hide him or even bench him completely in order to win a playoffs series. He's basically our overpaid version of Carmelo or Aldridge who has no business starting or playing over 30min on a contending team. The guy gets outmatched by Jalen ****ing Brunson. Playing off the bench on a min contract may seem more appropriate for him at this point.

Also, cp3 is much much stronger than conley

Royce shouldn't be playing at all. He's a massive liability on defense and has handles worse than Gobert

How many years in the show and he still gets nervous as hell when he touches the ball? He looks like my daughter when she was five years old and got the ball…..get rid of it as fast as possible so you don’t make a mistake.

Phx also has big guards to compensate for cp3. If Booker was 6 foot 2 and they lacked wings, I don't think Phx would be nearly as good.

It's a double whammy for us. Our guards are tiny and our wings aren't long or athletic. That might've been mitigated somewhat had we drafted Bane and Herb Jones. But... We drafted Doka and Butler.
 
I think we lose this series in 7. Here is my thoughts… we win game 4 because we shoot well. Luka comes back for game 5 and the team has an adjustment to him and he gets cooked on defense a bit… we win game 5 and hopes get raised again. Local media starts saying it was just some bad shooting from us and some hot shooting from them.

We lose game 6 and 7 and someone gets a minor injury and the loses are blamed on that.

It's more and more like we are building a team around Conley than Rudy or DM. I mean if we aren't even giving Conley his defensive assignment that is Jalen Brunson, what are we doing?
 
Clearly, the pretenderzz still don't have what it takes to compete in the playoffs. I clapped loudly after seeing the results last night. It's so predictable and obvious outcome. And Luka's not even playing no less. I hope they pull it together now since they're back's against the wall already.
 
Paper tigers for the 3rd year in a row.

Rudy and Donovan don't work together on the floor.

One, if not both need to go.

Quin as well.
