Aside from stating the obvious here, we struggled to beat the Nets every time we played them last year, we improved but they improved more with Johnson, a healthy Lopez and some added bench depth.

The Knicks are and will be a ****ing embarrassment till they accomplish something. We have guys like Melo and Amare who always talk tough, but then forget to play defense, pass the ball come in out of shape. So until we win something like a ****ing championship we are still one of the worst oganization in the NBA. Winning one playoff game and celebrating like it's an accomplishment is disgraceful. This team should be right at the top of the conference, but we make excuses as fans, the players have excuses, ownership has excuses.

The Giants actually are one of the top franchises in the league and have won titles in the 80's 90's and 2000's. The Knicks can't make that claim. It's one of the big reasons our team often follows our owners lead. Being concerned with what's happening with other teams or what the newspapers are writing instead of taking care of the house.

Lets not forget, they are the Brooklyn Nets. They do not represent the city. Brooklynites are a proud bunch and I'm sure they'll get a tons of support from East New Yorkers. Cant see too many New Yorkers from different boroughs jumping from the Knicks to support a borough they dont represent. I'm from the Bronx and could care-less about Brooklyn!!!

Are people really that geography-specific? Do Californians who live in LA think of the Lakers as some outside team?

If they are from San Francisco/Oakland I'm sure they view the Lakers as an outside team. It would be one thing if Brooklyn was the sole New York team but they are not. There uniform says Brooklyn, not New York.

You know what though, im glad it says brooklyn. If it were the New York Nets I would, and I know alot of other people would stick with the Knicks because the Nets would seem to be riding on their coattails. This way, with the Brooklyn Nets branding, the Nets are carving out a niche of their own.

Also, with just over 2.5 million residents there are alot of people in Brooklyn that can potentially become Brooklyn Nets fans. There are alot of people all over the world who hail from Brooklyn too. It has the most people out of all the boroughs. I think the New York Dolans are going to be in for a surprise this coming season when alot of the msg attenders root for the nets in those home games.

Williams might go to the Hall one day, assuming he stays healthy. But the real Core Four, all four have a shot at their Hall in a much tougher sport to get in than basketball. This **** is funny.

Nalod is it that difficult for you to see the glass as half full instead of half empty? Can you try hard to see how the Knicks have evolved within such a short time? Too many people are afraid to embrace it.

Dolans needed the Nets ownership support to get approved when they bought the team so they gave up the rights to keep them in New Jersey and Nets free to move inside anywhere but Manhatten.

Owners were weary of big cable owner buying the team and afraid they'd make too much money and outspend them.

Thats funny! The league benefited from the knicks being the depository for bad contracts!

I am freaking stoked about this rivalry. The knicks have to earn what good will they took for granted.

IM tired of this "Mecca" bull shyt and "worlds most famous" bull Shyt when the knicks have not produced a champion in almost 40 years!

The Nets are in a prime position to grab the city.

I don't laugh at nets as they could be pretty good. If BroPez can stay healthy they are a strong threat at all positions. They are a balanced starting core with no Holes.

They are small but fundamentally constructed.

We as fans often over look the sum of the parts. Knick fans overestimate because we add "Names" and the chemistry has not been there.

We than hate on the media who pours cold water on our starphuch but then watch it all come to fruition.

Nets have the names and we'll have to see what comes of it.

Im not laughing at anyone until we eclipse them.

In time it all gets sorted out.

Nets aren't grabbing anything. They'll have to resort to gimmickry and promo nights like "Star Wars" night or "Asian Heritage" night like in Citi Field. Maybe do some obscene season ticket deals. Otherwise, Brooklyn based Knicks fans will remain Knicks fans. NJ Nets fanbase was pretty non-existent. I know I used to sit in those empty seats at Continental/Izod arena for cheap tickets just for the hell of it. Even when the Nets were making those Finals runs, you could still see plenty of empty seats, and hear the artificial crowd noise through the PA system. Nets will not overtake the Knicks in this city, not in our lifetime. If they somehow land Dwight, then we'll revisit...

wait, Hump got a $12M per contract!?

And to think, that's only the fourth worst contract Brooklyn took on this offseason. Joe Johnson $90M over 4 years, Brook Lopez $60M over 4 years, and Gerald Wallace $40M over 4 years are all much, much worse. At least Humphries' contract is only for 2 years.

And yet they seem to be getting nothing but praise- if we had signed the same players to the same deals, we would be a laughing stock.

It's like when you read the offseason reviews/grades, and the same writer will say: Ray Allen- great signing! Steve Nash- great signing! Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby- oh! They're old! The Knicks just got older! They're 40 years old! Ray Allen and Steve Nash are old too, and could just as easily be washed up in a season or two.

we took on Jason, Camby and Dirty Kurt.

Role players. Who is yelling?

Look around at what players are making. 15mm for Brook is not out of line. 12 for Hump, not out of line.

If your a knick fan then your scraping to make others look bad and sensitive for what we paid.

Don't sweat it, it all gets settled in time on the court. If Knicks do well its a big story. If nets suck, it will be a big story.

And if its the other way around? Pure hate?
