My point is, all of this Conley controversy is pre-packaged. No matter what, people were going to be calling for Conley's head this season, wanting to see A.I. start over him.

But the only difference is that OJ proved over a whole season that he is an NBA player. Many people still dont believe that Conley is a legit NBA starting point guard and he didnt do anything in the preseason or the first game to make people think otherwise.

      <![CDATA[Chris just be prepared to admit to Vernon that this team can not and will not win at a high level with Conley as the starting point guard and with OJ being outmatched pretty much every night on the defensive end when he plays the two. I mean even when his bigger than the SG he is guarding he is then outmatched speed wise (ie Ben Gordon)

      <![CDATA[What I've written about Allen Iverson's best role on this — or any other — team (which, incidentally, is not what this post is about) has nothing to do with the question of whether Conley is better than Iverson or Iverson is better than Conley. Iverson was better than Conley last season, in Iverson's worst year.

      <![CDATA[Isn't there a case to be made that Griz stats past the all star break for the last 3 years should be taken with a grain of salt? The season has been over by Jan or Feb the last 3 years.<br>
<br>
3 years ago we suck so bad by Dec, Frat is canned and Barone is installed....season over early<br>
<br>
2 years ago we suck so bad by Jan, Pau is traded......season over early<br>
<br>
1 year ago we suck so bad by Jan, Ivy is fired......season over early<br>
<br>
I still WANT to believe that Kinsey's rookie of the month, month was legit....that it meant he was a promising young player that could keep his head above water in the nba and be a contributor on the wing.......he's in Turkey now.....<br>
<br>
In a sense, this argument parallels why fans and pundits put extra emphasis on performances in the playoffs.....when the game means more.....when there is more on the line.....the performance is more meaningful......<br>
<br>
So far in the NBA, the more meaningful the situation, the worse Mike Conley plays.<br>
<br>
Trade away all Conley's competition for minutes.....put him on a team 20 games out of the playoffs....give him a brand new coach with built in excuses for being bad.....play Conley with a team that has half checked out mentally and against teams overlooking the bottom dweller Griz......<br>
<br>
and Mike Conley will shine.....

however, in my view, it's not about shrill reactions after one game.
