Mike Conley Leads The Memphis Grizzlies Over The Spurs To Get To First In The West
By Chris Kern
First Place In The West
It doesn’t matter where anybody predicted them to finish or if we should expect a drop off soon but we need to just enjoy this moment.
The Memphis Grizzlies are in first place in the western conference and it’s a special feeling. Yeah, it’s still early so there’s a lot of work to be done but it’s good to see the hard work pay off early in the season.

After all the struggles they went through last season it’s really encouraging to see them play like this.
They started 7-5 last season just as they did this season but then injuries came in a big way and they couldn’t respond.
Conley being out there makes a huge difference. We’re also seeing a totally different Gasol, he is motivated and is playing hard each and every night.
They have to continue to battle each and every night if they want to continue winning games.
They play harder than their opponents and it leads to a lot of wins.
If Memphis continues to find a way to win close games that just makes them even tougher to beat.
Their offense is a weakness in many ways but when Conley and Gasol are able to carry them late in games they will still find a way to win.
