The Celtics have subjected us to some woeful performances this season, but tonight’s 114-88 drubbing in New York takes the cake. There was very little effort and even less execution. It’s a perfect 10 on the tank-o-meter.

Brad Stevens summed up his team’s performance perfectly during the halftime interview with Abby Chin:

AC: Where are the breakdowns happening?

BS: Everywhere. We’re broken down.

The Gross

Rajon Rondo (7 points, 3-13 FG, 4 TO, -24) continues to struggle. Before you start to panic, remind yourself that he missed 9 months with a torn ACL. He’ll find his timing.

There’s nothing worthy but check out Paul Pierce drain consecutive half-court shots during warm-ups Sunday night. Cool…

The Grid:

  •  Gerald Wallace was a team high -27

So what’s the final verdict? Was that the worst loss of the season? Worse than Houston or Denver?
