    I don't like to discuss who deserves to be an All-Star. I'm not a fan of the All-Star game at all. For me, it's nothing more than a dead week in the season. Just my 2 cents.

    Conley is getting a lot more love this season and deserves every bit of it. His clutch shooting (especially from long range) has gone to another level. Grizzlies are lucky to have him.

    IMO, Conley is right behind Westbrook, Curry, CP3 and Lillard among WC PGs. I'll leave TP off for now until his hammy allows him to play well for extended periods. By the end of the season, maybe Conley moves up the totem poll.

    It'll always be a tough game in SA. Rockets had two of their best games of the season last year in SA, hoping for another great one tomorrow!

    McHale was aked about Smith starting and said he wasn't aware of any guarantees about that. I think whether Smoove comes off the bench or not he'll get significant playing time either way

    Yeah. That Portland game was probably the best crowd I've seen at TC for a regular season game in a while.

    If Smith can get around 15ppg I wonder if he'd prefer coming off the bench.

    There is some prestige to that, they can sell him on winning 6th man of the year award (if he's not eligible this year then next year if he resigns) meanwhile we keep Dmo happy hopefully by keeping him starting.

    Smith would probably average a few more shots coming in off the bench.

    Now that you mention it, yeah. I've even heard a few "let's go Rockets" chants.

    Is Salvy a bot programmed to post about Conley for ASG votes? I swear I've seen the nearly the exact same post word-for-word for days in a row via different threads :confused:

    You know, after the last time we beat the Grizzlies butts and with the Grizzlies having lost 3 in a row, the Grizzlies were fighting like crazy to win Friday night. And still, we beat them. So many new faces on our team, I thought for sure we'd lose. But we won, it was cool.

    If Parker and Kwahi are out, this SHOULD be an easy win.

    This. No weak team in the NBA. Remember Spurs had almost embarrassed the Heat two years ago with 4 stars out?
