The Boston Celtics beat the New York Knicks 104-59 Thursday night to improve their record to 12-2. It is the most lopsided victory for any team this season and it is the most lopsided victory for the Celtics since 1970, when they beat the Baltimore Bullets 153-107. Meanwhile, the Knicks scored their fewest points in a game since 2005 when they lost to the Detroit Pistons 91-61. The 59 points scored by the Knicks is the second lowest total in franchise history. Their lowest total came in their good days, back in 2000, when they only scored 58 points in a home loss to the Utah Jazz. The Celtics big three; Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, didn't even receive that much playing time as the Celtics were cruising as early as the second quarter. Garnett only had 8 points in 22 minutes and Pierce and Allen sat out the fourth quarter, both scoring 21 points. The Knicks would've made history with 56 points if it wasn't for Nate Robinson's near-halfcourt 3 pointer at the buzzer, the Knicks would've had their lowest total ever. The Knicks two game winning streak came to an end and their record fell to 4-10. Their has been speculation that Isiah Thomas, head coach of the Knicks, could lose his job with everything that has happened to the Knicks lately. Are the Knicks in a complete disaster? Does Isiah Thomas need to be fired? Are the Celtics the best in the Eastern Conference? Are the Celtics the best team in the NBA?

Hell no I think that if the Boston Celtics cant even beat the Charlette Bobcats convincingly then they are not the best team in the NBA. If I were the Boston Celtics I would be worried about one team in the east and that is the Orlando Magic. Cause Dwight Howard is playing at his best and there is no one in the leauge that can stop him. But the Knicks suck period.
