gotta believe the grizz win bought kidd a few more games at least
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 2 December 2013 03:51 (ten years ago) link
maybe, but also gotta believe they have to win that game at home. imagine the boos that will rain down
― Spottie, Monday, 2 December 2013 03:51 (ten years ago) link
i would say the nets have been worse... i think most people realized the knicks were a house of cards anyway
people (including me!) looked at the nets roster and thought they had a real shot at the finals
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 2 December 2013 03:52 (ten years ago) link
i think they were a consensus ilh top 2 or 3 east team
― Clay, Monday, 2 December 2013 03:57 (ten years ago) link
just jumping into the predictions thread, j0rdan had the nets in the finals, k3v had them in the eastern finals.

both teams decimated by injuries, but nets theoretically were contenders while the knicks realistic ceiling was distant 5th in the east, so yeah this has gotta be BKN
― k3vin k., Monday, 2 December 2013 04:27 (ten years ago) link
Nets on paper, I never would've imagined would be this bad. Knicks so different from last year I knew they'd never be as good, just surprised they're this much worse

it's pretty shocking that Pierce and Garnett both crashed right out of the gate. Reminds me of how CWebb looked pretty good right up until that trade to the Sixers.

Webber post-Kings was depressing
― Spottie, Monday, 2 December 2013 15:51 (ten years ago) link
nets certainly more disappointing but by definition of "pitiful" i think i'd go knicks

Spottie, don't worry about buzza, that's his 'shtick'
― 乒乓, Monday, 2 December 2013 16:05 (ten years ago) link
the nets are more pitiful imho kidd having no idea what hes doing really puts them over the edge, the knicks are just bad which is their natural state
― lag∞n, Monday, 2 December 2013 16:06 (ten years ago) link
I'd make the case for the knicks in that yeah the nets fell from a greater height theoretically but we also all knew it could be bad w/r/t the team being cobbled together from aging and worn out parts, with a head coach who had literally never spent a minute in any coaching capacity prior to starting. Gut feeling is that super-teams fail more often than succeed. So it's at least a little bit excusable
Knicks otoh, Smithgate has been awesome, and they're trolling their fans especially hard by pulling out the #2 spot in the East last year and then falling to dead last this year
― 乒乓, Monday, 2 December 2013 16:08 (ten years ago) link
p funny the knicks were so successful w smallball then they totally reorganized their team to match up against indy and miami as if they were ever gonna beat them
― lag∞n, Monday, 2 December 2013 16:11 (ten years ago) link
Knicks are sadder but it's less surprising somehow. I couldn't have seen the Chandler injury coming, and that's apparently making a HUGE difference, but otherwise it just never felt to me like they pieces they had were going to make a very good team.

Yeah the Bernani trade pushes the Knicks over the edge for me

yeah, the knicks really have very little defense without Chandler, it's sad. and when he comes back they'll probably overplay him again
― Nhex, Monday, 2 December 2013 16:53 (ten years ago) link
I save my pity for those who deserve it, such as Mets fans.
― Aimless, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:34 (ten years ago) link
hey, the Mets got a championship more recently than the Knicks!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:08 (ten years ago) link
knicks are def more pitiful than the mets especially considering their place in the hearts of new yorkers

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

On the whole I'd give the Nets a better chance of pulling out of their slump than the Knicks.

trade idea: enter into any trade with the Knicks. You will invariably come out ahead.
