    KD just should have gone to the Knicks like he wanted to. 
    I remember him saying specifically that The Knicks aren't a team that players want to play for. "The cool thing is not the Knicks"
    But the Nets were? Even with the players they got were still the 2nd team in the city 
    We talked about the Nets way more, for better or worse.  Theres only so many times you can talk about Julius Randle...
    I doubt they sold out every game 
    We've talked about this before too, Knicks fans are delusional...  They may have been "2nd" in attendance over the Knicks but had a better shot at winning a title.


    Obviously the Nets had the better players. I'm talking about relevance. It's not delusional it's fact. Sure if they had won 2 or 3 titles they might have taken over NY. But they didn't. Not sure what you have against the Knicks. I've never seen someone hate a team that hasn't won in over 50 years
    Never ever have I stated that I hate the Knicks.  I just think the fans are delusional in thinking that they have something special year, after year after year... It's not hope, it's delusional.  I have hope for the Angels doing better than what they have done, not thinking they have a shot at winning a WS.

    The Nets with their big 3 were more relevant at first.  Then the stupid shit started piling up and became the talk of the town for a different reason.

    The Mets, like the Nets sometimes gain more traction than their cross town rivals in relevance, it happens.

    And I could be wrong but were the Nets on ESPN/ABC and TNT more than the Knicks?

    Nets, Mets, Jets and Knicks; the disgrace of NY sports teams. Even when they seem like they should be good, they blow it or just suck. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Point is that Nets were seen nationally as far more relevant than Knicks.

    yeah, plus i want the Spurs to go back to being good. Always liked them since David Robinson joined the league in '89(?) and when they drafted Duncan they were pretty great.

    The game itself was horrible.  Best part was Tatum and Brown going at each other.

    The game was absolute garbage. I turned it off after one quarter.

    McClung saved the dunk contest. The other guys mostly sucked. I couldn’t believe they were getting 48s, 49s and 50s. Crusty old Karl Malone wasn’t having it.

    The Dunk contest has become stale and boring.  We are missing players like Morant, Lebron, Zion.  Those are 3 guys that can jump out of the building, love dunking during games but have zero desire to compete...

    McClung deserves a statue for going all out on that performance.

    Oh and Shout out to ant man Anthony Edwards for dissing Load Management.

    Not sure what was more impressive the other week, Damian Lillard's 71 point game or the Kings/ Clippers game that was the second highest game in NBA history?
    Lack of defense is staggering.  

    Lillards 71 is impressive for points but not on this day and age of scoring. You should expect to see more of both. 

    Any team that decides to actually play defense could have a shot at a title as long as they can keep those 3% shots down. 

    Please bring back the hand check.

    Lakers look good without LBJ.  When he comes back I expect a long playoff run!
