who will have the better record and the better team

Knicks
crawford/nate
marbury/houston/penny
Q/TT/Ariza
Frye/malik/sweets/lee
big game/ mo t/jyd
Nets (dont really know their roster but i hate them) know starters though
kidd
carter
RJ
Jackson
kristic

i dont think they have a bench

Knicks all the way. By the time we're done dealing, our superiority over the Nets will be even more obvious.

Kidd is another year older, on those creaky knees.

Depends on health of their starters.

W/out Reef they are much closer to us then to the elite of the conference.

They really can't afford any significant injuries to either Carter, Kidd or Jefferson. And their bench still sucks, not that Collins has to start. Its filled with hasbeens (Cliff Robinson) and young unproven guys like Wright. Jackson might help them, but his defens sucks.

I have to say if we play them when their big three is healthy they have the upper hand, but w/o either we can take them down.

nets could also end up signing brian grant for a year or two.

nets are WAY better, it's not even a question.

we have to WIN first before we can even have this debate.

a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and the Nets have been giving us the bird for some time now.

Ouch! LOL

Well, it's time we flip the bird right back at 'em!
The Shareef deal blunder was only the first of many pitfalls for the Nets IMO. That bad luck trend will continue thru the season.

They are an adversary worthy of your fear.

my bad... 4 of 5. While the Nets battled REAL injuries to star players like Kidd and RJ they continue to make the playoffs and win division titles. Knicks miss Crawford for a couple weeks and its boo hoo not fair only because of injuries did we have a bad season.

This is a dumb discussion. When the Kbicks can beat the Nets or anyone for that matter dig this up.

Nets are not done with roster.

By the end of the summer, we shall have a better idea of who will have a better record.
[speculation]
Right now, I think the Knicks have more talent and a better coach which will lead to a better record.

Its really hard to say right now. The Nets have the big 3 and that can't be overlooked. We don't really know how they'll work over an entire season tho. Maybe it won't be as smooth a ride as we think. Its not how them match up against us, its how they'll do against the rest of the league. They're frontcourt is very iffy.

Right this second i'd say the Nets have a slight edge, but over the course of an entire season, we may be in better shape to withstand the rigors of 82 games and handle injuries better than they can.

Head to head the Nets might have problems with our team speed. Especially our bench players who are all quick as lightning. N8, JC, Ariza & Frye.

So I guess, Fish, you wiped Houston clear from the Knick roster.

we will have to see what carter and RJ can do a full season with the nets but to say that they are way... better than the knicks is nonsence

Nj still has the better palyer between both teams.. As a matter of fact, they probably have the best trio between both teams. When thats the case, you're usually the better team..
