BOSTON (Ticker) -- Paul Pierce scored 21 points and Ray Allen added 16 as the Boston Celtics pounded the gutless New York Knicks, ???, on Thursday.

Rajon Rondo added 10 points and six assists and Kevin Garnett grabbed 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who were coming off a tough 109-104 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday and had lost two of five after starting the season with nine wins.

But the real story was the abysmal performance by the Knicks, who shot just 32 percent (13-of-41) in the first half, failed to force a turnover and trailed, 54-31, at the break.



Their performance prompted embattled New York coach Isiah Thomas to call it the "most selfish half of basketball he had ever seen," and likely will renew talks about the future of the Knicks coach.

Boston scored the first 11 points in the second half, squelching any comeback thoughts by New York.

Big men Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph combined to shot 2-of-15 in the first half as New York dropped to 0-7 on the road and had a two-game winning streak snapped.

A 3-pointer by Brian Scalabrine gave Boston a 23-18 lead with 2:10 left in the first quarter. The Celtics took a 27-16 lead into the second stanza and opened it with a 16-2 run, bookended by 3-pointers from Eddie House. Glen Davis and Ray Allen each scored five points during the spurt.

Allen and Pierce drained 3-pointers during the opening run of the third quarter, and Allen added another shot from the arc and a runner on Boston's next possession to forge an 82-37 lead with three minutes remaining in the third.

<div class="pre">Boston pushed the lead to 93-43 early in the fourth quarter - its biggest lead in seven years.</div>

I can't remember the last time I saw a 50-point defecit in the NBA. Seriously.</p>

</p>

Knicks looked so awful... their team chemistry is in the negatives now and their coach is a complete doophis. They flat out need to clean house over there. I wouldn't blame Stern for stepping in.</p>
 
Re: NBA: NEW YORK (4-9) at BOSTON (11-2)

I'd say the Celtics just pounded the Knicks like Jenna Jameson in a gangbang video.
 
BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Boston Celtics provided New York Knickscoach an ugly site that even he had not seen before.

Paul Pierce scored 21 points and Ray Allen added 16 as theBoston Celtics pounded the gutless New York Knicks, 104-59, onThursday.


The abysmal Knicks avoided a franchise-record low points whenNate Robinson threw in a 3-pointer from just in front ofhalfcourt as the buzzer sounded.


"That was embarrassing, no way around it, no excuses; that wasembarrassing," Knicks guard Jamal Crawford said. "Unfortunatelysometimes things like this happen, but you have to bounce back.We haven't quit on the team or anything - it was just a badgame for us."


New York, which had won two straight coming in, shot just 32percent (13-of-41) in the first half, failed to force a turnoverand trailed, 54-31, at the break. The performance prompted theembattled Thomas to call it the "most selfish half ofbasketball he had ever seen."


"I don't know where this came from, I definitely did not seethis game coming after the last two games that we played and theway we were playing and moving, this was not a good night, nota good night," Thomas said. "I thought tonight we didn'tcompete, we just weren't competitive. Boston came out with aplayoff-type intensity, a national television game and we didn'trespond to that type of energy and it's disappointing."

Boston scored the first 11 points in the second half, squelchingany comeback thoughts by New York.

BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Boston Celtics provided New York Knickscoach Isiah Thomas an ugly site that even he had not seen before.

Paul Pierce scored 21 points and Ray Allen added 16 as theBoston Celtics pounded the gutless New York Knicks, 104-59, onThursday.


The abysmal Knicks avoided a franchise-record low points whenNate Robinson threw in a 3-pointer from just in front ofhalfcourt as the buzzer sounded.


"That was embarrassing, no way around it, no excuses; that wasembarrassing," Knicks guard Jamal Crawford said. "Unfortunatelysometimes things like this happen, but you have to bounce back.We haven't quit on the team or anything - it was just a badgame for us."


New York, which had won two straight coming in, shot just 32percent (13-of-41) in the first half, failed to force a turnoverand trailed, 54-31, at the break. The performance prompted theembattled Thomas to call it the "most selfish half ofbasketball he had ever seen."


"I don't know where this came from, I definitely did not seethis game coming after the last two games that we played and theway we were playing and moving, this was not a good night, nota good night," Thomas said. "I thought tonight we didn'tcompete, we just weren't competitive. Boston came out with aplayoff-type intensity, a national television game and we didn'trespond to that type of energy and it's disappointing."

</div></p>

Agreed. I say we start seperate game threads from sportsticker - it's tough to have to plow through all the sportsticker posts.</p>

I have never seen an entire team quit like that. Ever. At any level of basketball. I have seen players quit (Kobe) but not teams. But after all the shit the players were talking pregame, it was fun to watch the thrashing.</p>
