Agreed, Mike still our best playmaker by far. I am the first to recognize he does not play well for the moment. But yesterday, ANT, Randle, Jaden, DDV shoot like garbage as well , Finch coached like a junior coach....but here some people like to have scapegoat. Probably the same guys who will complain about Finch if he put RD 2 or 3 games and end not shooting well or TO the ball too much.

Nah Conley killed the comeback against Dallas and he killed us last night against Miami in crunch time. We just call it like we see it, he looks close to done out there.

Conley will bounce back.

Moving Conley to the bench does not have to result in extending the rotation. I'd caution people to be careful about what you are really wanting.

The only thing I'd suggest or rather wish with regards to Conley is to know how much his wrist affects his game. If there's a chance it could heal properly within two or three weeks I'd rather he sit out and get back in better shape so we can rely on him when it matters.

He clearly bother with his wrist. He should rest for a while. We have b2b coming and it may be time to give min to RD. We will need Mike when it matters.

That's a real tough assumption to make.

Players of his age are most likely trending in one direction only.

I think I understand why Finch was predisposed to go to Mike last game, especially down the stretch in clutch moments. Remember that this was a team last year that would completely fall apart down the stretch if Mike wasn't on the court. If anything, I think situations like this may actually go to show our growth as a team, as we are no longer fully dependent on Conley.

Randle is back.

I don't mean his numbers.
I mean his trade-mark attitude at court.
First game I actually saw him being himself in Tundra attire.

They canbut I doubt he has fallen off a cliff this fast to never improve. Even if he is actively declining, I think its more likely he can get closer to his form last-season than remain being as bad has he has been,

Miami is getting killed by Detroit, this team has so many bad losses already this season, it’s sickening.

Be careful? Whatever
