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

I will say that it was obvious to me watching Conley last season that he had already lost a step, that is vs the truly elite athlete's at PG's though. The starting PG position is still the toughest gauntlet to run in the biz, but i mean, thats why he gets paid 33 million a year... right?

Mike Conley is gonna get paid more $$$ this season than any Utah Jazzman in history.

I dont really think it's an outrageous claim, that hes lost a step -- thats what my eye test told me while keeping a close watch over precisely that, because it kinda stuck out to me... I dont think the decision makers in the FO overlooked that, the idea is that he's in the savvy vet stage of his career, i presume..


He's 32 years old and has played 28,000 career minutes. It's fair to assume there's some tread worn off those tires.. the 82 game schedule is grueling... Also 'todays elite athlete' is always being redefined, if not by small increments each year.. It is what it is..


Not to be that guy, but there has been many occasions where I've taken the stance counter to the general consensus around here and been proven right over time.. The George Hill trade being wastefulland the entire Gordon Hayward saga immediately come to mind, and the Boris Diaw/Joe Johnson "win now" moves too. I dont do it to play the devils advocate, im just sharing my opinions. we'll see.

Quit trying to manufacture a positive story for yourself and just live life. Soak up all the good that naturally happens. No need to make yourself a headline and seek the glory and adulation of jazzfanzers. Take your own advice.

Some of the comments on twitter were pretty hilarious tonight. People hitting the panic button after two games.

Sounds like you've taken a heavy dosage of Personal Incredulity Fallacy and
Tu quoque Fallacy to come up with all that.


I dont need to manufacture any stories, what are you even talking about? Oh i get it, this is a Straw-man fallacy. I'm just calling spades spades. If its too complex for you to digest and refute, then why not over-simplify? Thats the play!

You say he hasnt lost a step? at 32 years old almost 30,000 minutes played? Thats something worth being defensive over?

I say you might be falling victim to the Slothful Induction Fallacy... We'll see how it all plays out.

What did i say in the other thread you're referencing... Was it Extremism? Sensationalism? Look at this absurd thread title you've got. It's all about Bandwagon Fallacies here..

time will tell whos claims lack merit. but here you are trying to claim instant gratification victories right away...

Ok Lord B you’re down on the list
 
I think what will eventually happen, not this year, but sooner than later, will be that Donovan will become the Jazz's point guard. And we will be looking for an All-Star caliber shooting guard, 6-4 to 6-6, to play alongside him.
