All the love and respect to Mike Conley, great career, great teammate, great leader. But in the year of two thousand and twenty five, he should not be closing NBA games for any reason

Thread title is an ode to 92. LolAin't no amount of pauses gonna save you from this and the thread title.
You safely putting him over joker, healthy luka, tatum snd greek?
He’s comfortably above everyone but Jokic. And not because of the triple doubles, which in a vacuum can be overrated.
i.e. Shai passes to IHart and directs IHart to do a hand off screen to Isiah Joe for a 3. Whereas Luka, Russ, Harden would keep the ball, have IHart set them a screen, and tell Isiah to stay his ass in the corner for a kickout 3.
Both styles are effective but one pads your stats while the other empowers your teammates. Jokic a bit different in that offensively he can seamlessly switch roles from IHart, to Divac, to Dirk to Hakeem. So his production is a bit more versatile compared to the aforementioned heliocentric guys.
When it comes to SGA v Jokic… in a 7-game series it’d probably be a wash.

I agree.Shai & Jokic the two best players in the league.People really put Tatum on that level?
I give McDaniels credit for getting dirty and getting 13 rebounds with no Randle and no Rudy. He had to adjust his game so I'll give him a pass on his offense.
Clark had 14 points, 4 steals and was +20 in 18 minutes. Him going out hurt big time.
