Conley needs to step it up

Why now?

I'd say it needs to happen down the stretch and in the playoffs. And all the time before that is when you work out the kinks.

Clippers got George back and are going to go on a tear, Lakers are 9-1 in their last 10, Rockets are the hottest team in the league with seven straight, and the Nuggets are ahead of us. Suns look good even without Ayton. It's going to be tight for home court in the West and we can't lose to teams like the Grizzlies.

All those teams will lose to a Grizzlies-like opponent a few times this year though so I'm not too worried about it, but we can't give away too many of those games so it does suck to give one up like we did Friday. We just can't lay too many more eggs like that if we truly want to contend this year.

Should Conley be shooting 19 shots? We have Don, Bojan and now Rudy. Maybe Mike would help his game by focusing less on shooting and more on distributing. Maybe even try Jingles as starter to take pressure off Conley and jump-start Joe, as some people have advocated for just for Joe.

I think that his shooting and playmaking are connected and it's kind of a broken circle, he probably still overthinks things and his shot suffers from it but also because his shot doesn't fall he struggles to distribute ball better.. He is not Rubio who is used to missing all over and concentrating on other things lol. He is a good shooter, has good form and arch on his shot so it has to get better. And the only way to get out of it is to continue shooting. Anyway he was trending up untill that game in Memphis and I can't blame him for that one cause you could see dude nearly cried when they showed a movie about him. Once he starts hitting shots regularly it will boost his confidence and open other options for him. At least that's what I hope for..
 
Conley seemed very dissapointed in his performance last game.i think it was a game where the emotion got the best of him.He did show signs of improvement before last game so if he is going to be mountain mike this year his play should improve pronto.

How much does it affect Conley's game that Royce can't be counted on to score?

Your question assumes that Royce can't be counted on to score. That is false. He can score on cuts, fast breaks, and has been money on spot-up threes. If anything, Royce is an offensive upgrade over the wing players Conley has played with the last few years. The real question is how much better would Royce be with a PG that could put pressure on the defense (more open lanes and spot-ups)?
