There was much rejoicing when the Memphis Grizzlies learned Mike Conley would be returning earlier than anticipated from a back injury.So far the results are frustrating for the Grizzlies, who have lost both games since Conleys return.The Grizzlies get a chance to rebound from those disappointing home defeats Tuesday night when they host the Boston Celtics.Memphis won seven of the nine games Conley missed with a lower back injury from Nov. 30-Dec 14. The point guard was supposed to be out for at least six weeks, but Conley beat those expectations and returned Friday.The only downside was the result as Conley shot 2 of 7 in a 96-92 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Two nights later, Conley shot even worse, going 3 of 16, including 1 of 9 from 3-point range, in an 82-73 setback against the Utah Jazz.It marked the eighth time the Grizzlies were held under 90 points, and they gave themselves little opportunity Sunday by shting 30.1 percent overall and 2 of 23 from long range.Our (offensive) execution is horrendous right now, Memphis coach David Fizdale said. We are just not taking pride in executing our offense with purpose.While Conley had his worst shting night of the season against Utah, Marc Gasol was 4 of 22 and is 10 of 40 from the field in the past two games.Our offense just cant be this bad, Fizdale said. If you tell me that between my best two players we are going 7-for-38, I would tell you were lying. You can see that they are just out of rhythm with each other. Some of it was that Utah just got after us.Besides Conleys early return, James Ennis came back Sunday from missing 14 games with a strained calf, and in a Dec. 13 loss in Cleveland, Vince Carter came back from a hip injury.Those returns coincided with three losses in four games. In those losses, the Grizzlies (18-11) shot 35.9 percent, made 15.7 percent from 3-point range and averaged 83.6 points.We need to be better, Conley said. I think its just a matter of getting into a rhythm. I just need to be more patient and not try to get it all back in one or two games. Just try to understand I am coming off an injury and not try to bite off t much t early. With new faces coming in and out of the lineup, you have to establish the chemistry again. For 2 1/2 weeks, we had to play a whole different way.The Celtics (15-12) lost three of four while Isaiah Thomas sat with a groin injury. The three losses were single-digit defeats to the Toronto Raptors, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.Thomas returned Friday, and the Celtics have two double-digit wins since. Boston followed up a 10-point victory over the Charlotte Hornets by scoring 37 points in the first quarter in a 105-95 win at Miami on Sunday.Thomas scored 23 points but was ejected for a flagrant-2 foul after elbowing and bldying Justise Winslow with three minutes left.Im happy we won, but Im disappointed I got kicked out, Thomas said. There was no reason for thatThe Celtics forced 23 turnovers but allowed a double-digit lead to dwindle to 97-93. Then Boston closed it out with an 8-2 run and improved to 9-7 on the road.Al Horford totaled 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. He helped the Celtics finish off the Heat with two big hps in the final two minutes after Thomas was ejected.It was very brief, but, yeah, at least we didnt blow the game, Horford said. That could have been bad. We played t well all night.Boston is one of six teams with at least nine road wins, and the Celtics have played 16 of their first 27 on the road.Its part of it, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. Youve got to play 41 road games. Were playing a lot of ours early.Memphis is 6-3 in the past nine meetings and has won its past four home games against the Celtis. On Jan. 10 in Memphis, Zach Randolph had 25 points and 13 rebounds in a 101-98 Grizzlies win over Boston. Thomas scored 35 for the Celtics, who opened the game with a 19-4 lead and tk a 21-point lead before wilting. Phil Simms Womens Jersey .

David Stockton didnt take long to prove his worth for the New Zealand Breakers and coach Paul Henare expects things will only get better.American point guard Stockton was a slick, impressive performer in his first NBL game for the Breakers, playing his part in a comprehensive 100-85 win over the Illawarra Hawks.Less than a week after arriving to replace the injured Ben Wdside, Stockton showed he will be a key cog, Henare said.Hes just got a gd way about him.
