Former Celtics NBA Champion Give New York Knicks Fans Harsh Reality
On Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics hosted the New York Knicks.
Despite a strong third quarter push by New York, the Celtics won by a score of 118-105.
The Knicks have now lost their last two games against the Celtics (and Cleveland Cavaliers) by a total of 50 points.
Via ESPN’s Tim Bontemps: “Another dispiriting performance for the Knicks against an elite opponent, as New York is now 0-5 this season against the Cavaliers and Knicks.
Jayson Tatum had 25-10-9 for Boston, and Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 and 18 for New York.”
Final: Celtics 118, Knicks 105

After the game, former Celtics player (and 2008 NBA Champion) Eddie House didn’t hold back when speaking about the Knicks.
House (via NBC Sports Boston): “The Knicks don’t stand a chance, and if you’re a Knicks fan, I’m saying this right now. If you’re a Knicks fan, and you think Mitchell Robinson… If you think that he’s going to change your season when he comes back to make it seem like you guys can make a deep run in the playoffs, then I feel bad for you.”
As House alludes to, the Knicks have played the whole season without Robinson.
He is coming off a year where he averaged 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per cotnest while shooting 57.5% from the field.

The Knicks are still among the best teams in the NBA with a 37-20 record.
However, they have a lot to prove with the teams they will end up facing in the NBA playoffs.
