The Knicks and Nets will begin their battle for ownership of New York City on opening night of the 2012/13 season at the Barclays Center. With the Nets adding and retaining key pieces like Joe Johnson and Deron Williams to their roster, the team looks to be more formidable heading into the season.
The Knicks weren't quiet either during the offseason as they strengthened their bench in a series of different moves that netted Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby, among others. The question becomes which team will finish the season with the most wins and be able stake claim to the title of best team in New York City.
Amazing. So the Nets add Joe Johnson and they’ll go from a 22 win team to a playoff contender? 421 people actually think they’re better somehow despite how horrible their defense will likely be? How about the fact that they have one of the worst benches in the NBA? What did I miss here?
Hell, Vegas didn’t even change their odds on Atlanta winning a championship when they lost JJ, and this is the guy that’s going to have them rise above the Knicks?!
If it weren’t for the appeal of the NY vs NY conversation this question would be considered ridiculous.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
One can argue the Knicks have one of the deepest benches in the NBA.
