Battle for NY
« Reply #7966 on: October 25, 2019, 04:16:06 PM »
Tonight's game is big.  Brooklyn is poised to make a statement as NY's Team.  Not just for the present, but for a whole new generation of fans who were born in the 2010s.  Brooklyn has - for the first time since the early 2000s Kidd-nets - true STAR POWER.   The Devin Harris / Deron Williams Doldrums are over.  The stench of the Paul Pierce and KG trades are over.  New team, new claim to the throne.

A lot of young impressionable schoolkids are gonna be turning in their Knicks caps for Nets caps if the Brooklyn team prevails. 

By the way, what a big mistake it was keeping the Nets name.   So lame.   Should've changed it when they came to BK.  Nobody likes that name.  That's like calling your team the Boston Balls or Houston Hoops.

BKY was 29th in home attendance last year.
With a reasonably fun exciting young team.

Kyrie gives them some star power.
But he's also frustrating in many ways.

BKY has been beating the Knix for years now.
Nets don't get serious hype until sometime next year when Durant finally returns to 80% Durant.

Don't blame me, I voted for the Brooklyn Lubavitches

Fixed your quote.

The Knicks never had to worry how terrible they were because there was no other option.  The Nets may have been beating the Knicks but they weren't changing hearts and minds away from the Titanicks

What's different this year? 
Well.... the Nets are now supposedly "cool", no? 

A Knicks win would go a long way to repudiate that notion! 
I hope we win by thirty.

The Brooklyn Orthodox vs. the New York Knickerbockers as a nice ring to it.

The Nets are now cool because Kevin Durant, a guy who will not outscore me or you this year, said so?

You know who has never been cool?
KD, who has always been somewhat whiny and pampered.
They had to protect him from the media ... in OKC!
He never felt a part of GS.
Poor him.

Kyrie & KD -- I can't think of a pair of stars less likely to win big.
I'm glad we didn't get them ...

I agree with everything you wrote.

Personally I think someone with the NETS might've told KD to say that.

Young kids may not know KD's history, they just know the name KD and will listen.

Knix defense looks feeble, especially in transition.
And fouling a lot.

Offense rather choppy too.

Knox answers the call off the bench for offense.
Streak shooter.  Two threes, and back in the game.

Both benches had much more fluid offense than the starting units.

I like after Knox popped in his first 3, he wanted another and didn't hesitate.
And then the Nets were preoccupied trying to stay on him.

Portis was a mess.
Jr. Smith kind of iffy. Especially that no-confidence J.

Taj negates Knox
« Reply #7978 on: October 25, 2019, 08:18:00 PM »
Knox comes it buries 2 out of 3 including 2 threes, the second of which cut the deficit to 1.

But he is a -10 because everyone else on the floor is playing like garbage.

PG play
« Reply #7979 on: October 25, 2019, 08:22:41 PM »
Do we have a PG?  Our PGs combined has half as many assists as Robinson and Knox combined.
