And now the main event. So big it's even on ESPN!
The Nets have played two terrible games vs the Hawks and Rockets, looking burnt out or worse ...and there's still no word whether Deron Williams will play. He says he wants to. No billboard or marketing campaign can mask that. Meanwhile, their cross river rivals, while imperfect, are coming off an emotional overtime win over the Magic.
Assuming Williams does play, the stage is set for some drama. It will be the Knicks, with Carmelo Anthony, against the Nets, with Deron Williams, the first meeting between the two superstars that came to dominate the trade deadline, a way to gauge who got the better deal. A win would help the Nets forget those 50 losses.
