ALAMEDA, Calif. Cheap USA Soccer Jersey . -- For more than three decades, the Oakland Raiders operated under a similar formula with late owner Al Davis hiring offensive-minded head coaches and remaining deeply involved in devising the teams defence. That pattern has changed with new general manager Reggie McKenzies first major hiring since taking over the football operations earlier this month. McKenzie is finalizing a contract to make Denver defensive co-ordinator Dennis Allen the teams next head coach, a person familiar with the process said Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the team is not publicly discussing the search. Fox Sports and ESPN first reported Tuesday night that the Raiders had chosen Allen to replace the fired Hue Jackson and become the teams seventh coach since 2003. "Hes a smart guy," said Raiders punter Shane Lechler, who played college ball with Allen at Texas A&M. "He knows defences well. He schemes really good. Itll be interesting to see how he handles the head coaching role. This will be his first time. Well see." Allen, 39, will be the first new Raiders coach to come from the defensive side of the ball since Davis hired linebackers coach John Madden before the 1969 season. Madden won 103 games in 10 seasons and led Oakland to its first Super Bowl following the 1976 season. But the Raiders structure changed Oct. 8, when Davis died at age 82 of heart failure. Davis had run the entire operation for most of his nearly half-century with the team. His son, Mark, took over as managing partner and began making changes after the season. His first decision was to hire McKenzie away from Green Bay to make all the major football decisions. McKenzies first move was to fire Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season on the job. McKenzie then began a two-week search that ended with his choice of Allen. Before serving as Denvers defensive co-ordinator last season, Allen spent five years as a defensive assistant in New Orleans and also coached for Atlanta. While Allen has run the 4-3 defence that the Raiders have used the past seven seasons, there are expected to be stark changes in strategy. Allen was an aggressive co-ordinator in Denver, with a propensity to call blitzes that the Raiders traditionally stayed away from during Davis tenure. He preferred to pressure the quarterback with a strong defensive line and playing man coverage in the secondary. The old way worked well at times for the Raiders, who won two Super Bowls in the 1980s under Tom Flores and won three straight division titles from 2000-02 under Jon Gruden and Bill Callahan. But the team was far less successful after losing the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay in January 2003. Oakland failed to post a winning record or make the playoffs over the next nine seasons. The Raiders 99 losses over those nine seasons are the second most in the NFL and their current nine-year playoff drought is tied with Cleveland for the second longest in the league. In his first season as co-ordinator in Denver, Allen helped the Broncos improve from allowing a league-worst 29.4 points and 390.8 yards per game to ranking 20th in yards (357.8) and 24th in points (24.4) this season on the way to an AFC West title. The Broncos increased their sack total from 23 to 41 and were tied for the sixth-most blitzes on pass plays in the league this season, according to STATS LLC. "He was very successful with us and hell be very successful with them," Broncos linebacker Von Miller said at the Pro Bowl. The Raiders struggled mightily on defence this past season despite having many high-priced players on that side of the ball. Just this past off-season, cornerback Stanford Routt, linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, defensive tackle Richard Seymour and safety Michael Huff got contracts worth more than US$160 million combined. That quartet joined former top 10 pick Rolando McClain, who signed a $40 million, five-year deal when he was drafted in 2010, and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who just finished the fourth year of a $50.5 million, seven-year contract, on one of the leagues most expensive defences last season. The salaries did not translate into success. Oakland had franchise worsts in touchdown passes allowed (31), yards per carry (5.1), yards passing (4,262) and total yards (6,201), while giving up the third-most points (433) in team history. The Raiders joined this years Tampa Bay team as one of the four teams to allow at least 30 TD passes and 5.0 yards per carry in a season, a distinction last reached by the 1952 Dallas Texans. The Raiders also became the sixth team since the 1970 merger to allow at least 2,000 yards rushing and 4,000 yards passing in a season. One of Allens first tasks will be fixing two long-standing problems: stopping the run and reducing penalties. The Raiders set an NFL record last season with 163 penalties for 1,358 yards. Since the start of the 2003 season, Oakland has committed a league-worst 1,183 penalties -- 133 more than second-worst Arizona, which is the same difference between second and 14th place. The Raiders also have the worst run defence in the league over that span, allowing 175 touchdowns on the ground and 141.7 yards rushing per game. Cheap Toronto Raptors Jerseys . Born in Sault Ste.

By the time they were finished, they had battered the New York Knicks in the most lopsided NBA game this season. Jordan Crawford made six 3-pointers and scored 23 points, and Boston won its third straight with a 114-73 victory on Sunday. Jared Sullinger added 21 for the Celtics, who jumped to leads of 12-0, 18-1 and 25-3 and improved their Atlantic Division-leading record to 10-12. "It was just fun to get a win like that in here because Ive been on the other side of it a couple times. Its good to get a win against the division," Crawford said. Boston scored the first 14 points Friday in a victory over Denver, though that one eventually got close. Not this time. The Celtics led 58-31 at halftime, then Crawford made four 3-pointers in a 34-point third quarter that extended Bostons lead to 92-56. The Celtics then scored the first four points of the fourth for a 40-point bulge, triggering loud boos that would get louder at the final buzzer. "I think the biggest thing today was coming out after halftime and keeping it going. Thats hard to do," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. Boston led by as much as 45 and went on to surpass a 38-point victory by the Clippers over Chicago that had been the NBAs biggest victory this season. The Celtics shot 54 per cent overall and 56 per cent from 3-point range in the rematch of the Knicks first-round playoff victory last season. Carmelo Anthony scored 19 points for the Knicks, who had done to them what they had done to their previous two opponents. Coming off a 30-point victory over Brooklyn and a 38-point rout of Orlando, the Knicks finished with season lows in points and field goal percentage (34.2). "Its a step backwards. I thought we had turned the corner somewhat," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said in taking much of the blame. "I cant have our guys stepping on the floor doing what they did tonight." Starting guards Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert were both 0 for 6, centre Andrea Bargnanni was 1 for 7, and Anthony finished 5 of 15. nfl jerseys china. "Its just one of those games where it happens," Felton said. "You hate that it happens, you hate to get beat like that inside your building. It was nasty game, its a bad taste in our mouth right now." New York fell to 0-6 in its orange uniforms, which the Knicks are wearing in weekend home games and also donned at Chicago on Halloween in their road opener. Their three worst losses of the season have come in their alternate colours. "Im not a superstitious guy, so I wont blame it on the 12 oclock game, I wont blame it on the orange uniforms," said Anthony, who won a national championship for the Syracuse Orange. "Regardless, we couldve lost in the white uniforms today. Itd have still been the same thing." Jeff Green and Brandon Bass each scored 16 for the Celtics, who stay in New York for the next couple of days during something of a reunion week. They face Kevin Garnett and Brooklyn Tuesday for the first time in the regular season since last summers blockbuster trade, then return home to face former coach Doc Rivers and the Clippers on Wednesday. It was 12-0 before the Knicks finally got on the board on Anthonys free throw after the Celtics were called for a defensive 3-second violation. Crawford and Sullinger then hit consecutive 3-pointers to make it 18-1 before the Knicks finally made a basket on Anthonys dunk with 5:45 remaining. "We were aggressive on the ball," Green said. "We forced them to play on their heels." The Celtics led 34-11 after one and opened a 26-point lead when Courtney Lee nailed a 3-pointer to open the second. Leading by 17 late in the period, then ran off 12 in a row, Greens three-point play making it 58-29 with 37 seconds remaining. Knicks starters were 3 for 23 in the first half. Notes: The Celtics played just their second division game of the season. They lost to Toronto on opening night. ... With Kenyon Martin resting a sore left ankle, the Knicks gave rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. his first start. ' ' '
