Conley Benched

"Jazz scored well for two games that means they have no problem whatsoever with scoring and dont need to maximize their shooting talent in their lineups that feature Gobert and Mitchell" - something seriously said by a person on JFC.

There is this thing called diminishing returns.

It is easier to stagger minutes if you start staggered. Having Mike come in and play the first 4-6 minutes then pulling him out benefits us how? How fresh is DM going to be when he checks Murray for the first 4-6 minutes because Mike is too small.

Conley can switch off of Torey Craig to double wherever he needs to.

Conley--> Craig
Mitchell--> Porter
Royce --> Murray
Ingles --> Millsap
Gobert --> Jokic

Jazz opened with this against Denver 10 days ago and won the 1st quarter 29-15. Make Denver beat this lineup, then adjust if you have to.

That's 4 shooters playing off of Rudy screens, and 3 guys who can create with Rudy in pick-and-roll. One of those guys is Mitchell, who is averaging 44 ppg in the series.

You start Conley. If he is outmatched and Denver takes advantage, pull him. Give him the confidence of the start, and let him take Niang and Mudiay's minutes. Will be a net positive.
 
Jazz defense could be better with Conley. He can roam off Craig. He can cause disruption. He gives someone who can stay attached to Murray on the perimeter if they need him to guard him. He's a guy who has a career 3.6 BPM in playoff games.

Wake me up when Mike Conley’s career stats have any relevance to his actual impact on a game while wearing a Jazz uniform. I’ve waited too long.

We were up 15-7 when Mike checked out... Jokic was basically sleep walking the whole first half... How did that lineup do in the second half? -7 in the 3rd quarter and -4 in the 4th (which includes DM's end game heroics).

We were up 17-11 when Morgan checked out the first quarter today... He was +3 in the third with the starting lineup.

Whatever Juwan is doing is working. Could Conley make it better... sure. The matchups you outline above will not work though. Ingles isn't good against stronger guys and Craig gonna get in on the glass too... DM giving up a ton of height and is not the most attentive box out guy.
