I'm pretty sure the Knicks are worse than the Nets ... please persuade me otherwise.

Well Carmelo alone is better than anything the nets have. Porzingas, lee and Noah are all at least average NBA players.  Even if you hate him Rose is better than Lin. I mean I'm not really sure how you could think this if you are serious. On top of all that, the Nets seem destined to trade their best player because he doesn't fit the scheme they play.

I don't think the Nets are better than the Knicks, but I also would have told you that the Nets were going to start the season 0-5. Clearly, they are a much better team than the sum of the individual parts. I know we keep saying that their hot shooting has to cool off eventually, and regression to the mean is a very powerful force, but they look pretty good out there.

I'm at 22-24 wins.

Just read that Lin is out 2 weeks with a strained hamstring. Should be a good time for lots of Nets losses.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

That's unfortunate for him. But I'll take it.

Looks like he will be reevaluated in two weeks. I assume that means he could be out even longer?

Jeremy Lin has a strained hamstring. The Nets say he will be reevaluated in two weeks. Rookie Isaiah Whitehead, who had five points, four assists and four rebounds in 20 minutes the other night, could see a big boost in playing time until Greivis Vasquez and Randy Foye return.

Perhaps we could trade them Demetrius for another first rounder.  ;D

Through 5 games, no one on the Nets is averaging 28 mpg. Lin would be except he only played 15 minutes and then got hurt last night. But now that means their leading player in minutes is Bojan Bogdanovic with 27 a night.

Someone named Sean Kilpatrick is playing 25 mpg for them and averaging 16.6 ppg. He's 27 and had previously played 35 NBA games in his career.

This team is a mess. During the dog days of the season when other teams are playing for playoff position this team is going to fall apart. I'll be pretty surprised if they win more than 25 games.

Well, with Lin out I think the Nets are probably solidly worse.


With Lin, it seems to me the Nets have a more credible "premise" as a team.  Lin + Lopez, a handful of serviceable NBA caliber wings in RHJ, Bogdan, and Kilpatrick, and a trio of serviceable skilled veteran big men in Booker, Scola, and Hamilton.


The Knicks have the worst point guard setup this side of Sacramento.  Aside from Lee (an average at best wing at this point), Melo, and Porzingis -- who is being relied upon to do too much offensively -- I am not sure who from that team I would want on my roster.  Noah is burnt toast.

Oh, but they are a superteam according to Derek Rose.  ;D

I'd rather have Sacramento's point guards. Collison (when he's back) and Lawson isn't quite as bad as Rose-Jennings.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.
