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

I think the OP has this thread backwards. Conley fanboys need to be in hiding or eating crow right NOW, not making homeristic threads like this. Anything less than a finals appearance is a bad trade. The Jazz mortgaged the future by trading two 1sts (three counting Grayson). Conley will pick up his option next year obviously, taking us out of the free agent market where we could use some of the money on younger, better fits like Otto Porter, Gallinari, Bogdanovic, Harris.

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...

Funny how the sentiment has changed since July.
Conley is making major adjustments not only with the team and style of play but culturally and personally. He'll find his grove, settle in and be himself at some point. (Hopefully sooner than later.) Maybe not worth the price of his contract good, but just about every team has that guy.

Locke had a good comment on Conley after the Lakers game in his "Emptying the Noggin" piece.

Was it this one?

Nothing about the Jazz offense looked familiar. Their wasn’t the ball movement we are used to seeing. Their was the usual smart shot distribution. Their wasn’t any ball security as the Jazz had 20 turnovers before they had 20 field goals.

Could it be that the Jazz roster construction this decade is just not conducive to productive PG play? Is that in the realm of possibilities? Are they, ya know; trying to squeeze blood from a stone, then rinsing and repeating?? That no matter how many assets they throw at the problem, it wont fix, because there's greater systemic issues?

No!! The greatest pure pg played here, and Hill had a career year here. It was only a mistake to trade here because he only played one year. We didn’t lose many games he played in. He was great here when not injured. All others were garbage, oh there was also all star deron.

All of you are dumb!! Conley has played two games it’s just going to take time to adjust.
 
Mike Conley struggled again for the Jazz. He was 1 for 8 at the end of three quarter and 2 for 24 for the season at the point. More surprising tonight were the times when he drove the basket and lost the ball. He got two fields in the 4th quarter when Quin Snyder make a conscience effort to get him going. This is a tremendous adjustment for Conley. Every night of his career up until now he has had the ball in his hands and gained his rhythm by playing in that manner. Now other players are brining the ball up. He often runs to the corner. The Jazz overall ball movement is not very good right now so there are possessions when he doesn’t touch the ball. It is all very new to him. Unless the grim age reaper has grabbed him at 32 years old in a very rapid fashion after one of the best seasons of his career Mike is a smart player and will figure this out, but it is a significant adjustment that I am not sure anyone realized how significant it really was.
