What do you think about the state of the Grizzlies right now?
Conley: “It’s different, man. At the beginning of the season we had so much optimism with how it started.
“Now, everything has been flipped. It’s been a 180 [-degree turn] with the way we’ve been playing, the coaching changes and things like that.
“It’s different, but we have to keep plugging away.”
