It wasn’t a signing.
Yeah, dude. It's early.
The Jazz traded for him and paying the contract he signed.
It wasn’t a signing.
the personal incredulity list? Let me ask you a question; Is it absurd to think that a 32 year old who's played 28,000 minutes has lost a step, in a league who's pace is quickening by the day?
such a crappy player and he is on a 32 million usd per year salary, well done Jazz.
Why are people complaining about Davis? He wasn't the cause of the turnovers that killed the Jazz.if he plays like **** there is nothing wrong with venting a little. Both he and Davis need to be much better.
Whoa, there was a lot of I need to argue a side fallacy going on right there. No arguing a side or point for me, just some advice. Breathe... smell the roses, maybe tone down the chest beating.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...
Whenever this phrase is uttered, that person always proceeds to be that guy, usually in a big way.Not to be that guy
Two games in, Mike Conley has sucked ***. Like, he's played historically bad. He's made Ricky Rubio look like Steph Curry. Saying this doesn't mean he's going to continue to play bad and he's more than capable of turning it around (gawd, I hope, because he can't play any worse - knock on wood.)
Two games in, the Mike Conley signing has been a disaster. I'm not sorry if this hurts your poor lil feelings.

The fact of the matter is after you have won 18 of 20 games and averaged close to 25-30 assists while blowing out most of those teams you've played, it would be foolish to trade away two of the more valuable assets responsible for those 18 wins and hope it will make you better! We had an offensive chemistry the end of last year that was 2nd to none in the league and was setting records in easy baskets, dunks and a very fun team to watch! I don't know who talked management into unloading Ribino and Favors and signing Conely, but they should have there head examine about right now!
I am absolutely not saying we should draw any serious conclusions from two games of play, but Conley has not only failed to be an upgrade over Rubio, he wouldn't even be an upgrade even over Palacio or McLeod. This may be the worst two-game stretch I can recall for any player in Jazz history (and I have been watching/listening to Jazz games since the 1979-80 season) -- and it is certainly the worst two-game stretch for any player with the level of expectations we had for Conley. Again, I know it's only two games, but so far watching him play has been a little like watching a kid from the freshmen team playing against the varsity. He looks awful. His passes have been WAY off; he's dribbled into trouble and just lost the ball; his shots looked forced at times; and he can't even hit his wide open shots.
Here are the cold hard stats after two games:
FG/FGA: 4/27
FG%: .148
3P/3PA: 1/11
3P%: .091
A/TO: 8/6
ORtg: 63
DRtg: 101
NetRtg: -38
PER: -2.8
+/-: -13.6
VORP: -0.2
WinShares/48: -0.216
Can he become the Mike Conley of last year? God, I hope so, but what we're seeing so far (including four mediocre/terrible preseason games) doesn't seem to bode well.
