Dunno if they would've won had he been out there but Conley sure was not the answer (no pun intended). I mean he even put Demarre Carroll in over AI when Zach fouled out in OT and Sac was playing small.btw
Zach and Gasol have alot of chemistry together and they will be a nightmare matchup for oppossing D's. they put Zach in the high post alot and he feeds Gasol very well. When its not ther Mayo and Gay get alot of room to come off clean when Zach swings it and sets a screen for them. this was the 2nd game of theres I got to see extensively...fun team to watch.
Not to change the topic of this thread, but I really though Memphis made a solid move in picking up Zach. He matured alot here and had turned himself into a pretty solid PF. Dude plays hard every game, is a solid rebounder, especially on the offensive end, and he can score in many different ways. He was exactly what Memphis needed. I am glad they had the balls to trade for him. Unfortunately, I think they should have left AI alone unless they planned to feature him over Conley, which apparently they don't.
