Mike Conley's quest for technical perfection -- and how it almost ended

David Fizdale is about to go viral.

Sitting at the podium after the Memphis Grizzlies' 96-82 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the opening round of the 2017 playoffs, the then-Grizzlies' head coach begins in a calm tone.

"It's unfortunate that I got a guy like Mike Conley, who in his whole career has zero technical fouls and just cannot seem to get the proper respect from the officials that he deserves," Fizdale says. "It was a very poorly officiated basketball game."

Suddenly, Fizdale picks up the verbal pace, firing off statistics be believes support his beef with the referees.
