Knicks beat Celtics

Monday, January 5th, 2009 | NBA | No Comments

Not that long ago the Boston Celtics had a 19-game winning streak to start off there season and now they are in a slump so bad the Knicks beat them. The Knicks have not beat the Celtics in NY since 2005 and this snapped a eight game losing streak. Wilson Chandler had a big game for the Kincks with 31 points and Al Harrington scored 30 points. Kevin Garnett didn’t even show up for the game going 1-for-6 for six points. Paul Pierce did come to play he had a great 31 point game and Ray Allen helped out with 16. “We’ve just got to come together,” Pierce said. “We talked about it after the game amongst the players, what we’re doing right, what we’re doing wrong, and the good thing about this group, we’re a strong group”

I think the Stephon Marbury deal that everyone is talking about is starting to look real good to the Celtics right now. After losing three of four on the West Coast road trip over the holidays this team needs to look deep to pull out a repeat. Most players would be willing to try out Marbury even ex teammate Garnett. Rajon said “We can’t really worry about it all, We’ve got to go out there and go with the staff at hand.” Looks like we will have to wait until June to see how this all turns out.
