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

Maybe it’s that he was an upgrade over Rubio on paper. I’ll cut him some more slack but we’re approaching the 1st quarter of a season...

For a superstar salary may I add.

At his best (or average night), Conley is a much better player than Rubio.

I'm not going to expect him to play like a superstar (people just get carried away by his salary). At this point in his career (and in this team) he is the third best player. I'll be happy if he provides consistent production and star play when needed. He won't get the ball as much as in Memphis (and he shouldn't)

Nope. It's him. It's him shooting less than 40% on open shots. It's him creating multiple turnovers and having a career bad TO ratio. I did some soul-searching, and it's him. The previous 12 years history does exactly what for us when he can't contribute right now? Can we just say "hey guys, use his play from 2 years ago and credit us those extra points, mmkay?" Nope. It's what have you done for me lately and lately we are better off with him on the bench. I hope he figures it out because if he doesn't we are screwed.

He is more likely to play like the last few years than the last few games. It's been a little bit over a month. The guy is not washed. He's getting anywhere he wants but just making the wrong read/pass. His floater will start falling. Feel free to continue your soul searching. I'm gonna chill and be happy when he starts playing good basketball on a consistent basis
 
Why does a change in system make it so he can't hit uncontested 3s? Does he need to go back and watch old game film to remember his shot and get his confidence back?
 
Washed or not washed is so binary, and I don't feel it is an accurate way to descibe players. Very few of them are awesome one day and out of the league the next.

I prefer to think of it in terms of moon phases. Conley is undoubtedly waning, the only debate is how much.
 
He's been okay. Not up to his contract type play but to be honest I didn't expect him to play up to his contract from the outset. He has picked up his creativity and getting his teammates involved lately though, which is great to see.

Rubio is a better shooter, passer, distributor, rebounder and has a higher Basketball IQ than Conley! Why were we leading the league in dunks with Rubio distributing the ball.....but struggle to get dunks with Conley calling the shots at PG? And to think were paying Conley TWICE as much money as we were Rubio......is mind boggling!

You are stupid

I don't even care about the over payment. All I am asking for is average PG play.

Why is Utah where PGs go to die?

Conley's last 10 games: 16.5 points, 5.2 assists, 4 rebounds, 1.5 turnovers, 41% shooting, 39.6% 3 point shooting. Does that seem below average to you?
 
If Conley just plays ok we win but it’s the stinkers like last game and Memphis game we lose. Here’s to mike being more consistent

I hear you but the overpayment thus far hurts. Maybe we are too obsessed at being elite at the pg position since Stockton and DWill ?
