The Nets will begin their preseason schedule in Wilkes-Barre, PA against the Knicks. New York and Tim Thomas may be seeking some measure of revenge for what happened in the first round of last season's playoffs, and Richard Jefferson is confident the Nets still hold the edge over the Knicks. Jason Kidd will not make the trip, and Alonzo Mourning will not participate.
