Game Thread September 1, 2020: Jazz at Nuggets - Game 7

Yeah, that's a solid number. He's a solid shooter that has to be guarded, unlike Rubio.

I got good news for you: he'll be back next season! (along with the no-talent bench)

Don lost us two games with bad turnovers in the final possessions of a game. Played phenomenal and all, but still hurts.

 

[latin jazz]

they’re pretty similar at this point in their careers, both have moments but are also physically overmatched at times and inconsistent with their shots...but one costs so much he wrecks the roster flexibility...

That's a fair take. I would say an important difference is that Rubio shoot poorly, even when left wide open by design. Conley is just a better shooter, including off the dribble, which Rubio couldn't do. Conley salary sucks though, from the moment he signed that contract.

That's inspirational to you? Reminds me of Michael J Fox in a B movie trying to act tough so the guys will respect him. Weak sauce. Reminds me of an Amway meeting.
This is an inspirational speech:

It was a joke. I think that was from peak Cocaine Quin

maybe this was already discussed earlier, but isn't a play reviewable if a player gets hit in the head/face?

Okay you got me, whoosh, right over my head, LOL.
..."and then you become Tiger Tough" Ouch!!!

 

[latin jazz]

except for tonight? why tonight? Who did Conley guard tonight?

And did he get outscored by the guy he guarded, or did he not?

Sounds like the perfect excuse for a theory that wouldn't hold up.

Then we're all good.

China is our best friend, well except for their recent Communist era.

Well, if we use your own logic, then Conley outscored his opponent by a wide margin all series long, except the last game. Conley > Morris /Craig. It seems that according to you, points is all that matters to assess an individual perfomance. As I said, he defended Craig, Harris and Murray tonight and he did a good job on defense.

Again, who scored 30+ on Conley?

What we can agree on is that Niang sucks .

Maybe, he will be back. He's tradable and I hope the Jazz look into that.

If we don't improve our bench I'll be a little surprised. We can't swing and miss as hard as we did on players like Green and Davis. But I guess we can equally miss again.

yeah, as if outscoring minions like Morris/Craig is something to be proud of?

How much are we paying Conley again?

And "last game" also happened to be our most important game of the season.

If you wanna talk about games that don't really matter, we can play this all day, if you are so sure that no one has dropped 30 on Conley at any point during this season.

 

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

because all the other really good players in the NBA are too big for tiny Conley to guard.

But is your argument! outscoring opponents is what matters hehe. So, if you disregard his assigments because they are 'minions', then give him credit when he does a good job against a guy who has been scoring 40+ the previous games. Be fair and give credit when is due even if you don't like the guy.

Oh, changing the subject uh? . Avoiding the question again.

But if you want to go that route, hell yeah, Conley is overpaid. Has anyone argued against that?
