I thought no chance without Conley? How come they haven't lost without Mike in the yoffs and haven't been able to win a game without Mitch?

They haven't lost unless Gobert fouls out. No coincidence. 13-6 on the year without Mitchell

Please tell us you're happy about that too

Isnt mitchell supposedly really terrible, i think he would be happy if the guy were injured

[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;14351203]if he's not running out to contest it's because they've chosen to give up the 3 rather than give up the paint. Teams will score at will at the rim if he's on the perimeter. Can't be two places at once though he comes close. Morris sure got a taste of him defending like a 90's center

No he literally just doesn’t close out.

Poor example using the end of the game situation where every defender on that play played their man tight.

yep he doesn't always close out. Give up the rim or the 3. He can't be everywhere as great as he is

His mobility limits him from being everywhere. Has shit to do with making a decision to protect rim and give up 3. Like I said he’s a 90’s defensive center. Guys like Mutombo and Shaq do the same. Rudy also gets explored in pick & roll situations. But I guess he’s so focused on the rim. Can’t be great everywhere.

He's plenty mobile and does fine everywhere. Better against guards than Simmons was against bigs. Most versatile defender in the game

Clips needed a 3 to tie and the shot clock was running out. Toody didnt have to worry about being driven on that play since he knew they needed a 3 so he could play him aggressive at the perimeter.

Nice try babyboi.

yep he didn't have to worry about anyone getting to the rim. Isn't that what I've said? If he's not at the rim teams will score there. Give up a 3 or give up the rim. Got to make tough choices

Utah Jazz point guard [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31619370/utah-jazz-mike-conley-jr-again-game-3"]Mike Conley Jr. will miss his third consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain,[/URL] the team announced Saturday. Conley suffered the injury during the first half of Utah’s series-ending win over the Memphis Grizzlies on June 2 and has yet to play in the Western Conference semifinals against the LA Clippers. The Jazz have a 2-0 series lead entering Saturday night’s Game 3 at Staples Center.
