I didn't know much about Conley before he came here. I assumed he was a Rubio that can shoot. Instead he is just a poor-man's Clarkson.

It is simple.Jokic steal Rudy's lunch,DM cost team at least 3 of 5 last games,Joe and Royce and Mr Niang not exist last few games. Tonight first half was decent, but 4th was seen before,iso than TO ,than iso ,miss and so on. Benching Clarkson at end was really smart move as well.. Terrible calls (no calls) from refs didn't help either
Yes it is possible. I am smiling all the time. It is just basketball but to say it isn't a possibility then maybe you should open your eyes.C'mon man crack a smile.
The worst thing that happened to Mike Conley was getting injured just as the Jazz were starting a run against an insanely easy stretch of the schedule. Players like Niang, Mudiay, Bradley, and frankly Ingles (lately) look and play better against bad teams. It gave everyone the illusion that the team was better without Conley.

Ofc, but fans need to blame someone. And this irrational Conoly hate make me laugh,couse it can be bad fit, but cmon blaming him for all is childish
Even when the Jazz were on their winning streak they didn't have the killer instinct. They were just playing inferior teams. A lot of those games the Jazz blew leads and had to win it at the end. Like Rudy says, the team gets up 10 points and relaxes. The message is out. Guard the Jazz at the three and be physical with them and they will wilt. Teams have made adjustments and the playoff teams are more talented to stop what the Jazz want to do. Now the Jazz are going to adjust or they will be a first round exit again.

From SLC Dunk:
"This is the first time the Jazz have lost five straight games since the 2015-2016 season when Shelvin Mack was the Utah Jazz’s starting point guard. The last time they lost six or more games in a row was the 2013-2014 season in which they lost 9 in a row when Trey Burke was running the show. Even worse the Jazz still face a gauntlet of very good playoff teams. They face Portland on Friday, Houston on the road on Sunday, then Dallas on the road on Monday, then return home to play the souped up Miami Heat. If this is how Utah is going to continue to play, there’s an outside chance they match that 9 game losing streak. Before this losing streak the Utah Jazz were in 2nd in the West and only 3.5 games behind the Lakers for first. Now? They are tied for the Rockets in 4th, 6.5 games behind the Lakers, and only 1.5 games ahead of the Thunder and Mavericks who are tied for sixth. If this carries on, Utah could have gone from second to seventh from the time the All-Star voting closed to the actual All-Star game. When was the last time a 7th place team had two All-Stars?."

we don’t have any first round picks next year, right? So even if this losing streak extends to 8 or 9 games, there’s zero reason to tank because we don’t even have a first round pick, right? Ugh
which sucks. Id rather tank than get a 7 or 8 seed.
