Conley Benched

It's just a team playing for darn too much time on the edge of its potential. At some point it does not work anymore. Besides, when it seems your team is ready to take a step forward into real competition, the other teams start to pay atention and plan, decipher you better. We all lknow this. I'm not mad at Jazz brass for trying changes.
Many assets were used improperly before "this administration", Hayward really damaged things, Hill decided to go out... it's a chain of events...
It's time for our players anc coaches to hold it up, keep as strong as they can, try to have fun playing basketball and stop pointing fingers.
Probably for us too.
 
This either makes Quin look unbelievably bad... or Mike's agent made a call and the front office intervened... or the front office decided to intervene on their own accord... Either Quin did a catastrophically bad job here or the front office is totally fine with letting him look really bad while they sit up in the corner office.

Also, the whole we need Mike to be Mike thing... isn't he more likely to find that off the bench where there isn't pressure to share the ball as much... or if you use a lot of possesions it will take possessions away from Niang and some from JC (who will get his regardless) rather than DM, Joe, Rudy. Like how does bringing him off the bench completely eliminate us finding Memphis Mike?

I don't fully disagree, but... you can't have fun and lose... not with guys that are competitive enough to get to this level.
 
seems like Mike and Bojan are not Jazzmen, they don't have the jazz DNA like crowder and Rubio. Bojan is lazy and just watches on d most of the time. Mike just sucks, keeping him longer than this year will seriously destroy this franchise's potential and future. Bojan should be a 6th man that can just be a shooter, it's clear that we are over playing him and he just doesn't have the skillset to flourish. Put Bojan on the bench as a spark he brings no d, and waive the f out of Conley.

True. You can't have fun losing after you thought you probably were worth to be up there near the top of it.
That's why you focus, work and succeed adding new toppings to your game. It does not work if you're capable only to focus and work. In the end, you need to actually add to your game.
I love our guys, and Jazz committed to them. It is what it is. They've got to live with it.
So, as a player, you better find a way to have fun and show something worth watching for your fan base... stop whinnig and pointing and getting mad, and put a couple new moves to your game.
If you're not cabaple of it, have fun and wait for the next iteration of the whole thing.
As a fan, I still want to watch these guys playing the right way, having and showing some fun out there.
 
Just listened to Tony Jones interview with Bill Riley, he said if the Jazz are going to keep starting O'Neale then Conley is the one that needs to come off the bench. Say's the Jazz need more size in the starting lineup and they need Joe out there to run pick and roll with Rudy. Andy Larsen basically said the same thing in his triple team article last night. Tony said he would likely still close games with Conley.

But but but he’s Mike effing CONLEY! He has to be good or we will suck... he can’t possibly be good if we brought him off the bench! Heresy!
