Celt .45s

Wow. This is getting almost Patriot-like. The Celtics cruised (that's not even an accurate enough term) to a stunning 104-59 win over yet another hapless New York franchise, bettering Boston's record to 12-2 in the young NBA campaign. That's right fifty-nine Knick points—rescued from their worst loss ever by a buzzer-beating trey.

By the way, 12 wins is exactly 50% of the total garnered in all of the 2006-2007 season. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen each scored 21 points—despite both sitting out the entire 4th Quarter. Kevin Garnett played only 22 minutes, and still got 11 boards.

Of course, part of this story is that the Knickerbockers are about as lousy as a professional team can get—and are "coached" by the "fraud-de tutti-fraud" of all time, one Isiah Thomas.

Nevertheless, this Celtic Thing is really starting to catch on. These guys are still undefeated at home and seem destined to secure a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals unless injury befalls TNBT (The New Big Three). Enjoy this while it lasts—which could be all the way to June.
