Conley Benched

[mellow]

DL and Zanik this is all your fault.

I agree times 1,000. From the leaks last spring, to the lopsided trade, to the disappointing start, to the injuries, then load management and now coaching from a spreadsheet.

Traded away your soul and abandoned your core values for a guy who didn't want to be here.

I don’t think joe is fine with it

I now believe Snyder and team have been wanting Conley pushed to the bench or farther for a while and management wouldn’t allow that and the coach and team were internally pissed and played with disfunction and less passion because of it. They know Conley is a golfing instead of playing not wanting to be here cancer

Listen to TJ's interview... I'm like 75-80% sure this was a management thing... but if it wasn't it was a Mike thing... not just quin changing his mind.

It does smack of the coach knows management won't like it and does it thinking once the cat is out of the bag we are good. TJ did mention they didn't want it to seem like Mike is to blame and some other ********... that could come from Mike or the front office... but let's say it turns around and now Joe is to blame? they don't care about that?

Some next level ******** going on here.

I think it's been pretty cemented DL is an average GM.

Can I get a refund on my 2020/2021 season tickets renewal?

I was hilarious how TJ was trying to walk the line of giving some info without saying the wrong thing... and how he "isn't sure what happened" and you know damn well he does. I don't blame him at all.

"other heads" "behind closed doors" and other kinda vague things... he did his best.

Yeah, he was trying his best to dance around it. I liked that Checketts kept pressing him on it.

Here’s the thing. Even if our string of poor play isn’t on Conley, it was time for a change. Benching him made the most sense based on data, on-court chemistry, and the strengths and weaknesses of our players.

It was absolutely Dennis and Zanick, or Mike and his camp who raised a fuss. Give me back ****ing Rubio. The man wore a headband Joe shirt and Donovan’s mountain shoes to the game the other night. Ricky wanted so bad to be here and we pissed it away for this garbage. Me being one of guilty parties. I miss you Ricky and Derrick....SO MUCH.

 

[Miggs]

But hey front office, keep rationalizing this ****.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think either Conley or his agent likely whined to the front office once the decision was made and then the front office told Quin that Mike needs to stay in the starting lineup.

It seemed like the discussed it individually first then with the team, but I do wonder if Mike's agent got involved and that is how it came down. DL then asks Quin to change... which is a ****** thing to do. Either way the front office intervened here and the can go straight to hell.

I can't decide what is worse... can't wait to see how we respond tonight.

Average GM that had a little draft luck...

I miss his chemistry, I don't miss his turnovers or shooting abilities.
