This DR Jekyll and Mr Hyde show is perplexing. But the bottom line is would a solid playoff team lose by 40 at home to a sub .500 team 1/4 way into the season or have lost 80% of their home games? We saw some light and then had the door shout in our face. Boston looked younger VERY prepared and hungry.
Those two games will make the kNicks stay the course for atleast another 10.
Teams are taking Boston for granted, they absolutely play hard and have a system of play.
Now mind you even though Miami and Denver lost to them they certainly didnt get smoked like we did at home.
i never thought this team was as good as last years, but i didnt think they were this bad.
One thing is for sure Boston is better than the Knicks. Plan of action is in place and they have decent players to execute the coaches plan. Younger than the KNicks at most positions.
Here we go. Hyping garbage teams.
Knicks were the 2nd best team last year.

That team retired and left the trash behind.

How many more 1st and 2d rounders they have?
They are not better, they are miles away.
woodson is going to be fired. he's in over his head with a crappy roster and he should not have been coerced into leaving his agent as a condition for being hired here.
nix beat two teams who have a combined 12-27 rekkid for a .307 winning percentage
celtics were at .428 before today's game
small sample size but logic based on the season thus far dictates that the knicks are at the moment around a 30-31 win team. upon his return chandler could add another 5 maybe even ten wins. but that means the knicks are going to end up at around 36-41 wins... first round fodder at best.
that 37-win prediction is looking pretty remarkable at the moment.
The east is terrible and the Knicks are missing their defensive anchor. They are also missing Kidd's playmaking ability.
Come off the ledge guys.
Knicks looked mediocre before Melo went off and led us to the 2nd seed.

The east is terrible and were one of the worst teams in the conference, that makes us horrible..
It wouldn't have matter if tyson played, we didn't look much better then either.
When you lose consistently, and have blow out loses at home on a regular with decent talent on the roster, the coach is 100% to blame.
We are not a good team. Heck, we are not a TEAM.

People who constructed this mess have no idea about what they are doing.
So no surprise the result stinks.
Its like your bought a bunch of expensive parts for luxury car but you have idea if they fit or not.
This car will go straight to the ditch..
yeah...who said we were a good team this yr?
yeah...who said we were a good team this yr?
Be like me and stop watching this trash.....It's better for your health.
Talk about a playoff team losing by 40.....What playoff teams have an owner like Dollan?
This feels exactly like a rerun of the IT days- didn't we even get badly blown out by Celtics back then. When you are 5-13, and all of your starters decide that going out drinking is more important than turning up to play, you really have to question the heart and mind of this team.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened with the way they came out at noon
Afterward, Stevens admitted, “You don’t want to do that unless you have to, and it never really presented itself.”The pawning off of geriatric warriors, Pierce and Garnett, on the Nets helped stock the Celtics with nine first-round picks during the next five years. They already have some young talent — their second-year forward-center, Jared Sullinger, made 9 of 13 shots and outscored the Knicks’ Andrea Bargnani, 21-2.
However ugly this game was, the more pertinent and frightening post-mortem for Knicks fans would be to contemplate the Celtics rising to the same competitive plane during Year 1 of their rebuild. Because they do have a plan and the resources to get much better, while the Knicks, well, put it this way: They couldn’t even understand or explain what happened to them Sunday. - Harvey Araton
A good team does not ever lose to anyone by 40

same. At this point Im not even sure what to root for. At least with a draft pick rooting for utter failure has an upside.
the one thing about the celtics.. i think brad stevens is an amazing coach, always admired him at butler and now the celtics have swooped in and taken him. this guy is going to be an absolute star coach for 25+ years in the NBA. too bad the knicks are too much of a sideshow for a good young coach to want to come here. sigh.
Trying to keep just a little bit of perspective to all the gleeful window jumping going on round here...Thanks to a three-point shooting barrage that reached historic levels, the Spurs dealt the Miami Heat their most lopsided postseason loss, 113-77, the 36-point loss is the largest postseason loss in Miami Heat franchise history. — NBA History (@NBAHistory) June 12, 2013
The ten worst losses in NBA history are moments that some will remember forever, even if they would like to forget. The ten worst losses in NBA history demonstrate nights where one team completely dominated an opponent and then went on to humiliate them. These are the ten worst losses in NBA history.
1. Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Miami Heat on December 17, 1991. This is the worst loss in NBA history. Cleveland beat Miami by 68 points with a score of 148-80. Miami simply did not play defense against Cleveland, and Cleveland took full advantage of that fact, making this one of the ten worst losses in NBA history.
2. Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors on March 20, 1972. This entry on the ten worst losses in NBA history is almost as lopsided as when Cleveland beat Miami. The Los Angeles Lakers dominated the Golden State Warriors with a score of 162-99. Golden State certainly hopes to never lose a game by 67 points again.
3. Philadelphia Warriors vs. New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. The final score of 169-147 is not what made this a bad loss for the New York Knicks. What made this a bad loss was also what made Wilt Chamberlain a legend, as he scored 100 points against the Knicks. Allowing a single player to dominate them so thoroughly easily made this one of the ten worst losses in NBA history.
4. Syracuse Nats vs. New York Knicks on December 25th, 1962. The 1962 New York Knicks were not very good, and Christmas proved it. They suffered the worst loss in franchise history against the Syracuse Nats, losing 162-100 and earning another spot on the ten worst losses in NBA history.
5. Denver Nuggets vs. New Orleans Hornets on April 27, 2009. What made the New Orleans Hornets 121-63 loss to the Denver Nuggets so amazingly atrocious was not just the fact that the Hornets played terribly. It was that the Hornets played that terribly during a playoff game. The 58 point loss tied the mark for the worst loss in playoff history and earns a spot as one of the ten worst losses in NBA history.
6. Minneapolis Lakers vs. St. Louis Hawks on March 19, 1956. 53 years before the Nuggets destroyed the Hornets, the St. Louis Hawks set the mark for pathetic playoff losses. They went down to the Minneapolis Lakers by a score of 133-75.
7. Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Chicago Bulls on November 8, 2001. The Chicago Bulls were still in the post-Michael Jordan blues in 2001, and their young team was not playing good basketball. That was never more apparent than during a a 127-74 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the worst loss in Bulls' history.
8. Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics on January 31, 2003. The Boston Celtics are a proud franchise, which made their 118-66 loss to the Detroit Pistons sting that much more. It also didn't help that former Celtic Chauncey Billups led the Pistons in handing the Celtics one of the worst losses in franchise history.
9. Sacramento Kings vs. Dallas Mavericks on December 29, 1992. This was a sad day for Mavericks fans. They had to witness their franchise's worst defeat in history, a 139-81 drubbing to the Sacramento Kings. That kind of loss earns the Mavericks a place on the list of the ten worst losses in NBA history.
10. San Antonio Spurs vs. Sacramento Kings on April 22, 2006. The Sacramento Kings didn't make it through the ten worst losses in NBA history unscathed. They suffered their own large defeat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. They lost 122-88 during this playoff game. There was simply nothing they could do except hang their heads in shame!

None of the teams that lose where consider contenders and although I wasn't born when most of these blow out occurred. . I can't imagine any of them making the playoffs
