Well, playing at Milwaukee, Indiana, Toronto, and Philly on a single road trip is admittedly pretty brutal. At least they got to beat Memphis in the middle instead of playing Miami or something. Losing against all of those good teams definitely exposed them a bit, but I'm not writing them off just yet. They're a talented team.
I do think they need to find a way to get Conley going. He's been particularly bad lately and is playing well below expectations.
Below expectations is being kind. Conley has been an absolute train wreck. I don't know what happened over the summer for him, but he didn't pack his game with him on the move. All his positive stats are down and all of his negative stats are up. That is hard to do. He went from being one of the best non-allstars in the league last year (would have made it in the East), to being an anchor. He isn't even the beast on defense that he has been.
Bojan has been a great pickup for them, Mitchell and Gobert have been great, too. Ingles has been as equally terrible as Conley. So that is kinda their deal. If Conley and Ingles can get back to simply average contributors, rather than big negatives, then they should be able to right the ship. They tend to finish strong every year anyway. I expect them to be tough at season's end.
