For Fizdale, there is clearly a plan to instill those changes, and he insists the roster is ready to accept that not only can those changes help take Memphis to the next level, but they are necessary in an NBA landscape that has shifted dramatically to perimeter offense in recent seasons.

"I've talked to all the guys and they understand where the league is at," Fizdale said. "If we think we're going to play in the 80s and win anything, we're sadly mistaken. And they understand that and I think we're going to have a committed group to playing at a faster tempo."

Conley, one of the Grizzlies' best shooters and a top-notch defender, is best known as a game manager, a floor general, a point guard who sets the offense, makes plays and orchestrates the personnel. The Grizzlies' post-first offense meant Conley was often the initiator and last resort, with a lesser role within those parameters. Fizdale looks to change that.

"The style of play is going to change the way he looks offensively. We talked about giving him the first six seconds of every possession. In the past, which I'm not knocking because I have so much respect for those coaches and the success that that they had, but they played a different style where they posted their bigs first and then Mike had the ball at the end of the possession. I want to give Mike the opportunity early on to attack and make plays, and then we'll get that end of possession post-up for Zach or Marc out of movement where teams can't just load up on them."

Fizz saw the tape and said get this 1993 Knicks offense outta here.:camby:

Wouldn't be shocked to see Mike become a possible all star this season hard to do with so may excellent PGs in the west.
