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

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?

I don't care about 10 game averages. I want consistency game to game to weather through tough games. Mike is a vet that should be a stable, consistent contributor. I don't know where to find the numbers but I would bet from my memory that in our losses, Conley's efficiency on open shots is very low. He has had good looks on uncontested shots that any average PG should be making.

Over the past two games: Does 2-9 FGs sound average? Does 2-10 FGs sounds average? Does 1-7 3PT sound average? You should be able to get those kind of numbers from any PG on any roster bench in the NBA, not from a starting PG. Many of these attempts are uncontested.
 
I mean, one would think that you risk the chemistry that had been built over a couple of seasons if a $32 million contract is going to mean a significant improvement. Not only I see no significant improvement, I see less grit and effort. Rubio was much more exciting to watch imo.

Do you remember Rubio's first season with us? He was really bad the first half of the season, then he turned it around and played very well the second half of the season. Lets be patient. Conley's clearly been a much better player than Rubio throughout his career. If he can turn things around similar to what Rubio did in his first season with us then we are in for some terrific point guard play the rest of the year.

Yes I remember it well. As I remember the intangibles that he brought to the table.
 
Mike "twofer" Conley is officially a problem. 2-9, 2-10, 2-8. How long can coach stick with him as our starting PG?

Have you seen Quins eye twitching? He can look down the bench and see the same thing we see. He has no choice but to ride with Conley.

Still, I wonder if Conley wouldn't benifit from a little break. An 'injury' and some time away might let him reset the season.

He's very far from being an average offensive player right now, but he might start to turn it around. He can't possibly be this bad the whole season. What's clear to me is that he can't turn it around on defense. Defenses are targeting him and that's only going to get worse in the playoffs.
 
Seriously... Ingles has been struggling a little. The size in the starting back court seems to be an issue. Why can't we move Ingles to start at PG and move Conley to come off the bench.
