    He is the better shooter now, but he has a lot more NBA experience than Lin. Jeremy has been shooting a lot better from 3 the second half of this season. I think next year will be the determining point when we discover how good of a jump shooter Lin will be for the rest of his career.

    Mike Conley....

    6-18 for 13 points, 0-2 from 3, 4 assists, 4 rebounds. All of this against a backcourt of Mo Williams and Randy Foye...

    Back to back in Utah after playing a close game against the Nuggets in Denver?

    Yeah, that probably made no difference.

    maybe 4 road games in 5 nights, 1 in mile high, had something to do with it?

    Maybe so, maybe no?

    I think conley is better than a lot of peopple think he is. That being said... he is nowhere near tp or paul level. Hell he is not even close to westbrook or kyrie irving. To me he is in the next tier of pgs. But he is pretty good and he plays both sides of the floor.

    You're the one who proclaimed him elite based on a small sample.

    Fair turnaround.

    If Conley played on an offensive high paced team, I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the conversation with a lot of the 2nd tier PGs (Curry, Lillard, Rondo etc.)

    he is way better than lowry.

    I dont think so... i think the pace of the grizzlies is perfect for his style. He is just not that good.

    Mike was 24pts, 7brds, 5asts 1blk, 2stls and 1TO
    Westbrook was 20pts, 4brds, 3asts, 3stls and 2TO

    Looks like Mike was Westbrooks equal tonight. Not so ridiculous after all.

    You didnt even prove Rudy Gay was on Kevin Durant's level yet, and you've already moved on to Mike Conley?

    I know, that 1:2 AST/TO ratio against the Duncan/Manu-less Spurs at home was a bit surprising for such an elite floor general.
