Conley is a good player but hardly borderline HOF. He's never even made it to the All-Star team in the much weaker Eastern Conference. Mudiay is far from borderline playable. Tell Quin that since he's playing him about 20 minutes a game since Conley went down.

You’re really underestimating how big of a feat it would be for him to make an all-star game in the east.

Go take a look at the On/Off numbers... the bench picked up once we eliminated Green and Davis and added JC... Niang is a shockingly bad -26 net rating. He has played enough that I don't think its a fluke.

It is sad for me personally but I think Niang is absolutely the guy that needs to sit in favor of Morgan... an insane +32 in the smallest sample size full of garbage time. TB is a negative but nothing like Ed was... drags the offense down by himself and the defense isn't any better than when TB is in the game.

For now all we need to do is swap out Niang for Morgan... sorry Georges... drop another 10-15 lbs and get back out there... you still have a place in my heart.

Still not sure that Davis drug the offense down by himself. He had Mudiay, Green, and Niang with him. Not to mention he doesn’t get to play with Gobert like the other three do. Obviously you can say the same for Bradley.

Get Wood and Markieff and we’re ready for the playoffs.

I'm super duper high on Morgan right now... the per 36 numbers in the G League are bonkers... he passes the very limited eye test. Many rookies are contributing on good teams this year... give him a chance.

I'd be all over Wood if we could get him. He was relatively quiet last night but did show his versatility and is the 4/5 combo that really adds something.
 
Am I the only one who kind of likes Mudiay’s slower but more physical game? I wouldn’t mind if Snyder added a wrinkle in our offense for Mudiay to post up smaller guards. The dude is a tank.

Look it was a team effort for sure... Davis was enemy number one... look at his combo of low percentage shooting, low volume shooting, high turnover rate... then consider that defenses straight ignore his ***... Hes just an awful fit for what we run and wasn't giving us what we need on defense to make up for it. Strength of schedule was working against him too, but he was a dumpster fire.

I’m going to refuse your ticket when you try to re-board the Davis train.

He has some use... it isn't the shooting or the defense that bother me most... its the turnovers... way too many turnovers and some are just dribbling issues. He does some things well (rebounding for example) and he has made progress, but his spot in the rotation is basically gone once Conley returns and we will be better for it... nice to know he is functional most nights if we have an injury.

Its fine bruh... I'll be on the Juwan Morgan PJ.

The Juwan Morgan PJ is a side cart to the Davis Direct. It’s like Disneyland and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge — you don’t get access to the latter without the former. Likewise, you don’t get the privilege of JM’s minutes without Davis’ 10 holding down the fort.

Why will be gone once Conley comes back? Won’t Mudiay still play and Jingles and Mitchell’s mins go down from playing 35+ to a much more normal number?

We can agree to disagree then. The fact that you even think Conley is essentially less playable than Mudiay who is borderline playable is laughable.
