The “I’m a Mike Conley hating bitch” list

[Archie Moses]

As bad as these 4 games really have been, it’s hard to look at a guy averaging 20 ppg last year, and entire body of work, on a new team for the first time ever, and think that these four games are a better sample than anything the past couple years. If one is an anomaly between the past 4 games and the past 2-3 years, I know where I’d put my money.

Anyone remember concern over Bogdanovic in preseason? How’d that age?

It's hard to think of a guy with such a large sample of success in the NBA put together such an atrocious first four game sample on a new team. At this point, you'd imagine he's trying to be this bad.

I can't think of anyone else who's had such a miserable first four games coming off an all star level previous season.

I do think he's a lot better and will play better, but after four miserable games, I'm crossing my fingers.

He will come around. New situation, new team. Not to mention the 4 hour practices. That will tire out anyone who isn’t used to it...

He didn't just forget how to play.

It's either just an acclimation issue, or the Monstars are back. Hard to say.

does anyone know what Karl Malone has to say on the topic?

I agree, I think he'd be much more effective playing with the starters. When he's in with the second unit he doesn't get hardly any open looks from 3 and there's no one for him to run pick and roll with.

"Wear the other team’s starters down through ball movement."

That's exactly what Rubio was doing last year and why we won 18 of 20 games to end the season!

Not sure why you quoted me, but we actually only won 15 of 20 to end the season.

Conley really filled up the box score.

We actually won 1 game in the final 5 when it mattered.

We went 18-6 for our last 24 games and two of those losses were the 2nd of back to backs, one in overtime and the other we lost by 3 points! And if you think Rubio was the downfall of our poor showing in the playoffs your blind in one eye and can't see out of the other! He had a great playoff series for the most part and we lost because of poor outside shooting by Donovan and others!
