Celtics 101, Knicks 99: Scenes from the Sisyphus Knicks letting that dang boulder roll down the hill again

I’m so sick of watching these guys. This is the best Knicks team in nearly a decade, and I’m just sick of watching them. They are hopeless in the final minutes of close games, and all they play are close games these days.

For the fifth time in the last six games, the Knicks had a chance to win a close game and screwed it up. This time they repeatedly ignored Marcus Smart, who buried a couple of three-pointers, including the go-ahead one in the final minute.

The game was rough in the first half, as Elfrid Payton played poorly even by his standards.
