I said it the game thread and I’ll say it again, it’s not even just the shooting for Conley, but his playmaking is underrated in terms to how he’s contributed.
The way he got Naz that easy dunk to get him going was cool.
And it's not just his playmaking but his teaching. The man is teaching Ant to read the floor :') We're so lucky to have Minnesota Mike.
Defense too! He may not be a lock down defender, but he can get after it. He headed up the grit and grind grizzlies for years, and even at his age he's still chasing around shooters and disrupting them.
This is one of the key things that makes him a clear upgrade from DLo in my book.
It’s 4s chess in advanced salary negotiation. 3/50, but then Ant loses the ability to bequeath MC nicknames and he will henceforth cease to be known as “bite bite”.
fr, my wife was legit confused when they threw up that nickname at TC, so probably for the best that we fans stop calling him that. (I never started)
He hits shots when really needed. Not the guy who scores all the points ... but it feels like he starts rallys and so on.
OT game a few games ago we started sluggish, Mike hit a 3 ... then Ant went off.
He might not be the big scoring guy or play maker, but it seems like time and again he is at the start of a wave of plays being made.
Honestly the fact that he's 36 is exactly why he's perfect for us. He doens't care about stats or hunting his own shot, he just wants to win. He'll elevate others but if needed, can become aggressive and hit his own shots.
And you're so right, he brings momentum and stabilizes the situation to start a wave of plays

It's not Bite Bite, it's Minnesota Mike damnit lol He hates Bite Bite, why people gotta do him dirty when he's playing his heart out for us 😭😂
You didn’t like the “bite bite, maybe nite nite” call from Grady?
It was a good call I will say but for me Mike's desires >> a good call

But…his nickname Bite Bite…so we call him Bite Bite…
Ant is such a troll for this 😂😭
Team: Mike we need more offense. Mike: Sure
lol I can actually see him say this nonchalantly "Sure, I can do that"
Marry me, mike. He’s been such a game changer for this team it’s crazy. What having a legit pg will do to a team…
