Conley Benched

Ok. The Jazz are one of the best shooting teams in the NBA and have the best defensive player in the NBA. They are in some kind of funk right now and it sucks, but these things don't last forever.

Any more arbitrary details? Quin has one of the best heads of hair?
 
They arent though. He sat the first two post ASB games and the Jazz still got beat. The Jazz got hot and played well, partly due to schedule, but mostly due to playing at a high level. I tend to believe the Andy Larsen theory of complacency in the regular season more than the team sucks with Mike.

It's a long season and players get mentally tired of the schedule. It sucks and they should be better, but I'm not going to freak out about it because the Jazz are going to make the playoffs and from there they have the talent to beat anybody where depth isn't as important.

Complacency has nothing to do with why we’re ranked just 12th in defensive efficiency.
 
People change their minds. I don't know what happened and I'm not going to lambast a player if I don't have the facts. Plus, even if Mike did freak out about it enough to change the decision, I applaud him because it's the right move IMO.

Nothing is put up or shut up until the playoffs. I'll freak out if they lose in the first or second round (well at least if they get bounced easy in the 2nd). Until then I'm going to remain measured and not reactionary to slumps and turbulence.


Hey Tony,

You suck on Twitter and you suck here.
 
He’s been playing horrible lately. Routinely makes bad passes but hits Rudy in the pick-n-roll every once in awhile so he’s amazing.

Ingles gets put on a pedestal around here for some reason.

He leads the team in assists, is averaging less turnovers and has a better assist/turnover ratio than any of our other ball handlers. He also clearly has the best chemistry with Rudy. He's definitely been in a slump over the last 10 games or so but he's still averaging over 6 assists a game over that span.
 
Cy the contrarian is the only one who doesn’t think this was botched. Seemingly not anyone else here, based on their diction, not any journalist who’s written about it, and based on interviews with Quin where he’s obviously uncomfortably measured, not him. No one except Cy. What a ****ing shock.

I'm not sure about it.

How do we know this was not the sequence?

1) Before practice, Snyder tells team Conley will be coming off the bench
2) Practice
3) After practice, Snyder with others decides, based in part on the practice, to change the rotation
4) Snyder doesn't feel comfortable in an interview about the change
 
Defense is not primarily about effort?

Let me get this straight. We don’t try which is why we’re ranked 12th, but the truth is we are much better? But every other team tries and thus their defensive ranking is accurate? Yeah, makes sense.

Of course I think it was botched. When did I say otherwise?
