Celtics demolish Knicks by 45, 104-59
By JIMMY GOLEN, AP Sports Writer 32 minutes ago
BOSTON - The New York Knicks' brief winning streak is history, and the Boston Celtics nearly made history ending it. The Celtics cruised to one of the easiest victories ever on Thursday night, beating New York 104-59 to send the Knicks to their third-worst loss and their second-worst scoring performance of the shot-clock era.

Only Nate Robinson's 37-foot 3-pointer at the final buzzer saved the Knicks from scoring the fewest points in franchise history. That might not be enough to save coach Isiah Thomas from getting fired: He was all-but-gone during an eight-game losing streak, before earning a reprieve with two straight wins.
Now the Knicks are embarrassing themselves again. And, unlike the Boston area's NFL team, the Celtics didn't even try to run up the score.
Kevin Garnett played just 22 minutes, scoring eight points before leaving the game midway through the third quarter with Boston ahead 69-34. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen also sat out the fourth quarter and played 29 minutes apiece. And Rajon Rondo dribbled out 24 of the final 26 seconds, turning the ball over on purpose rather than go for a 50-point win.
Robinson followed with long jumper off the inbound pass to save the Knicks from their lowest-scoring game in the shot clock era. The basket gave Robinson 11 points — the only New York player in double figures.
Pierce and Allen scored 21 apiece and Garnett finished with 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who were coming off an overtime loss at Cleveland — just their second defeat of the season. Boston improved to 8-0 at home, and the Knicks remained winless on the road.
The Knicks were last within 10 points with 4:11 left in the first period. They didn't come within 20 after the Celtics took a 39-18 lead with 5:27 left in the second. Boston made it 30 points for good with 9:14 left in the third, and then extended it to 40 less than five minutes later.
Eddie House hit a 3-pointer to give Boston a 50-point lead, 93-43, with 8:53 to play in the game.
Notes:@ Celtics forward James Posey took out the team's radio announcers going over the scorer's table for a loose ball early in the second quarter. Cedric Maxwell got out of the way, but Sean Grande went to the ground, still talking. ... Garnett had seven rebounds in the first six minutes. ... According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time a team won by 50 or more points was March 18, 2007, when Houston beat the 76ers 124-74 in Philadelphia. ... The largest margin of victory in the shot-clock era was 68, when the Cavaliers beat the Heat 148-80 in Cleveland on Dec. 17, 1991. ... The Knicks' low game was 58 points on Dec. 15, 2000, against Utah. ... The low for a Celtics opponent in the shot-clock era is 57 points scored by Milwaukee at Providence on Feb. 27, 1955. ... Boston's biggest win was 51 points against Philadelphia on March 7, 1962.
LMFAO

Soon.

The Knicks got raped like a scene out of American Me....
-
ouch. what a loss.
-
Zeke is insane...I actually had some hope for NY these past few years (considering the talent on the roster), but that whole organization has gone mad.

It's bad that if you saw this same roster on paper 3-4 years ago, you'd be like damn that's a playoff team, easy. They just don't know how to use the talent they have, and the chemistry there is just terrible.
My uncle has been a season ticket holder for the Knicks since the early 80s, and he is completely ashamed of the team.

lmfao @ this thread and lmfao @ the knicks organization

See, this is what Kobe was afraid Mitch/Buss would let the Lakers become...It'll never happen, though.
Stephon Marbury...Nate Robinson/Mardy Collins
Jamal Crawford...Jarred Jeffries/Fred Jones
Quentin Richardson...Renaldo Balkman/Malik Rose
Zach Randolph...David Lee/Wilson Chandler
Eddy Curry...Jerome James/Randolph Morris
Give them some real motivation, and watch them play...They're simply the type of players who can't think for themselves. ALL of them. Zeke's coaching job in Indiana was completely different, because the players already had the right mind-state before he got there. Then again, he kept getting bounced in the first round with them too...PeACe

Hell no! The problem with the Lakers is they're scared to make moves and they're not that good at evaluating talent. The Knicks are like a fuckin crime organization. I mean look at this Isaiah Thomas vs Marbury issue. What the fuck kinda shiet is that?
Besides that, that roster is full of losers. Last night they all looked like they didn't even want to be there. Guys were on the bench resting their head on their hands, yawning, looking into the stands - you're not supposed to be doing that in the 3rd quarter.
