PrintThe Nets and Knicks go into tonight's contest separated by only a half-game, the Nets 8-16 and the Knicks 8-15. But despite two close losses to the Bulls and Celtics, the Knicks have a 2-8 record, the Nets 5-5 over the last ten. And the Knicks are only without Baron Davis (who this week missed his 200th game in the last decade) while the Nets are still working with 10.
"We’re heading to Brooklyn next year and we definitely want to make this a rivalry game," Deron Williams said. "I’m sure guys have had this one circled and are looking forward to it."
The Knicks big problem appears to be a lack of cohesion, the result of a lack of a point guard. While the addition of Tyson Chandler has helped their defense, the commensurate loss of Chauncey Billups has hurt their offense. Carmelo Anthony does seem to have bought their plan the last few games, sharing the ball rather than taking ill-advised shots.. Problem is this is the Knicks' third game in a back-to-back-to-back. On top of that, there are rumors that Mike D'Antoni will be fired this weekend.
The Nets had their chances vs. the Timberwolves at the end, just the Knicks did with Celtics, but came away with a turnover rather than a shot. Anthony Morrow is averaging 35 points over the last two and credits Deron Williams for getting him open.

Sounds like a guy who's planning to be around for a long time, doesn't it?

Brook Lopez (foot) jumped rope, ran, and did some jumping on Thursday, and was positive about his rehabilitation when talking with reporters.
Lopez said that he will need to work on his lateral movement and pivoting before being able to practice, but also noted that his timetable is still up in the air. “I just took a little pocket schedule to Timmy (Walsh, the Nets’ athletic trainer) and told him to point to a game (I could return for),” Lopez said. “He folded it up and put it in his pocket.” He is currently in the sixth week of a 6-8 week timetable, and if everything is progressing as positively as reports have made it sound — then the latter portion of the timetable sounds reachable.

Net Income, Edit needed in the last part of the second sentence in first paragraph
Nets are 5-5 over the last five.
This should read 5-5 over the last ten.
J-Kidd to D-Will
Dwill

melo goes for
31 on 15-49 shooting 1-1 ft; amare quits
We shoulda been 6 & r over the last 10
D-Will cost us last nights game. 3 turnovers in the last few minutes. Coach shoulda calmed him down. Terrrible (read Last word like Barkley would)
Just one of those players who plays terrible and gets 14 assists
But bad mistakes in the end.

Net Income, 2nd Edit Needed.
No team has lost all three of the schedule killers this year.
Referring to the Knicks possibly losing 3 games in a row in 3 days.
The Detroit Pistons lost 3 games in a row from January 30 – February 1 in 3 days. The 3rd loss was to our beloved Nets.
J-Kidd to D-Will
ugh…I hate the knicks.

I don't have much to say...
… just that i really hate the Knicks. The franchise. Their players. The “fans”. The fake thug Melo. The “Standing Tall But Injured”. The so-called “mecca”.
Oh yeah – and I hate the Knicks.

Should Win
but we rely too much on shooting outside and if Farmar or Morrow or DWill is off – if one of them is way off- are chances are slim. They will beat us up inside the way the Twolves did. We should beat them up outside. It will come down to who can handle the last few minutes – and since neither is stellar, who knows. I could also see a blowout either way. Who can guard Melo? Then again, who can guard DWill?
I have a feeling Bogans will do a decent job

I like that Bogans also cuts to the basket
He doesn’t always finish but at least he’s not just parked outside
he also knows how to swing the ball...
Bogans has made some decent passes…along with solid defense. Right now he’s shown more in 2 games than Stevenson did early in the season.

Did you know
there are people who r fans of the Knicks AND NEts
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...
same with Jets and Giants. Crazy huh?
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
Jets and Giants is more reasonable though, they play once every 4 years. That’s not a real rivalry.

A lot of casual fans are just "Pro NY area"
I think New York is such a unique area because there are multiple teams in every major sport. The only other area that I can think of that can say the same is California. But even California is so much more spread out than the NY area so it’s not quite the same.
Because there’s so many different teams to root for, there seems to be a lot of generic “Pro-NY/NJ” fans that don’t hold a particular favorite. Some do, but still root for the other NY teams when they aren’t directly opposing their favorite.
My parents were definitely of this “Pro-NY” attitude. I grew up going to Nets games because they were so much cheaper in the 90’s, and that’s really the main reason why I became a Nets fan in the beginning. I never really rooted for the Knicks because I always liked seeing the Michael Jordan and the Bulls dominate the league when I was a young kid. However, I did take interest in the Knicks, despite not really being a fan.
Ever since the Jason Kidd era and the long decade of Knicks absurdity, Knicks fans have became a true pain to deal with, and I have begun to take more than interest in watching them lose.
I feel the same has happened between the Jets and Giants. Fans of these two teams never seemed to be THAT hostile until the recent relative success that the Jets had. I never rooted against the Giants before, but I have to admit that the way Giants fans have reacted to this season’s success had me thinking twice about who to root for on Super Bowl Sunday. Ultimately, I just really want Tom Brady to lose.
Once a rivalry can actually exist between local teams that have become relevant, it seems that it most certainly will exist. But from my experience, casual fans don’t take part in this. It’s that or the past 15 years or so have been so bad that there really hasn’t been a time until now when more than one local team was relevant… Which yeah I guess it’s that too.
Hockey seems to be a special case, because it appears that all hockey fans are pretty dedicated and passionate about all rivalries.
Whew. Not even sure why I wrote all that, but there ya go!

and agreed about hockey, probably because there are no casual hockey fans.

I’ll be at the game. Deciding between my white Deron jersey, red Lopez, and blue Kidd. Leading toward Deron though seeing as how he’s the only one going to play.

Bought it online a year ago
Not much of a size selection from what I remember. They may not even sell them anymore
I have one in XL if anyone wants it
But you’d better be a guy who wears XXL cuz the thing is big

One thing that baffels me
is that the knicks are aired on national TV when there no better than we r.
gonna be at the game tonight
lets get this one and really send knick nation into a panic!!!
If we get to keep Marshon-okay.
If not, we’re finding out JWill can a capable back-up big sooner than later.
This will be a loss unfortunately. We don’t match up with the Knicks well at all. Nobody to stop Melo or Stat or keep Chandler off the boards.
Sigh I loathe the Knicks!
