Game Notes

• “Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger on Conley playing: ‘It’s possible but not likely.'” — LetsGoWarriors

• “‘I’m not ruling him out until I don’t see him on the court in Game 1,’ Warriors center Andrew Bogut said. ‘He’s got a week to prepare. These pills these days do wonderful things. We’re preparing like he’s playing. You never know what’s going to happen. They could make him an Iron Man mask. Who knows?’
  .
  Conley traveled with the team to the Bay Area and is listed as doubtful for the series opener. Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said after Saturday’s short practice at Oracle Arena that Conley has been fitted for a clear, plastic protective mask but still needs to be cleared by the medical staff.
  .
  When that happens is anybody’s guess. This much is certain: the Grizzlies are among the NBA’s most formidable and physical teams regardless of who’s on the floor.

  ‘We believe we can get it done,’ Joerger said.” — Antonio Gonzalez, AP
