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 shooting 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 shooting 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 too much too 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 bloodying 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 hoops 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 too 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 took a 21-point lead before wilting.Peter Forsberg Jersey . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday.Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says Christian Lealiifano is up for his fight against leukaemia and the team will give him whatever support he needs.Wallabies and Brumbies star Lealiifano was admitted to hospital after being diagnosed with the illness last week.A number of Wallabies visited 28-year-old Lealiifano in Canberra over the weekend after their camp in Sydney concluded on Friday and before reassembling on Sunday night for this weeks camp on the NSW Central coast.I certainly believe hes going to get through and get through well, Cheika said on Monday morning.Hes a tough guy. Hes shown that over many years of playing footy and in the experience that Ive had with him hes always shown that and Im backing him 100 per cent.Whatever he needs well be there to provide it for him, around friendship, support, whatever it is so that he gets through it and beats it quickly.Hes up for it, theres no doubt about it. The lads have been in contact with him and a fair few of the boys have been to see him already, but hes right up for it.Im very positive for him and I believe just straight way hes got the right attitude and hes going to be in the right head space to take this one on.Wallabies captain and hooker Stephen Moore said the players had been shocked by news of Lealiifanos illness.I think he knows were all here to support him the whole way, Moore said.We spoke about that as a group, just making sure we continue our support for him as he continues to go through this treatment.I think theres always that initial support when the news comess out but then weve got to make sure we stay positive around him, right through his whole treatment.ddddddddddddWe dont know how long thats going to be, so well make sure were always there for him and make sure that he knows that.Moore expected there to be a change in emphasis in Wallabies training at this weeks camp after a gruelling week in Sydney.Last week we did a lot of strength and conditioning work and well continue that this week, but I think well start to bring our specific game content for the Test, Moore said.Cheika anticipated some selection posers for his All Blacks counterpart Steve Hansenahead of the Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday week following the Hurricanes triumphant Super Rugby campaign.Five-eighth Beauden Barrett put himself forward for promotion to start ahead of Aaron Cruden with his stellar season for the Canes and likewise livewire openside flanker Ardie Savea may have done enough to overtake All Blacks incumbent Sam Cane in Richie McCaws former position.Halfback TJ Perenara boosted his stocks for a bench spot behind Aaron Smith but big All Blacks winger Julian Savea remains under a cloud after being benched by the Canes for the finals series.There will be some interesting selection issues around openside and 10, but also Julian Savea and that wing position, said Cheika.And Perenara as well, is another player who has been in very good form.
