The Knicks have 23 nationally televised games this year

[Skyscraper]

Net fans are funny. Go back to pretending Durant is coming, that shit is much more funny now that it's not my team doing it.

AS funny as Knick fans?

Derek Fisher and Phil Jackson + all that nonsense on NY sports talk radio about how Calderon is going to make a new big three with JR Smith and Carmelo and Tyson was just trash?

delusional Knick fans GTFO

Nets made it 2004 all over again last season


seriously, the NY sportstalk people must roll their eyes at some of the nonsense the fake tough guy New York working class no brain comments they hear.


too bad BSPN New York makes Michael Kay force vomit and refeed the same old trash about the Knicks and they isolate Robin Lundberg to the dead of the morming


now don't get me wrong, I harbor no delusions the Nets are title contenders, but Battle of New York is the Nets championship

[NewYorkNoPicks]

The Knicks will fail to make the playoffs yet again. Who on earth would want to watch that atrocity? I will laugh endlessly when they fail to make the playoffs again.

Not fun to watch Melo drop 40+ frequently?

How about when he dropped 62 with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter? Could've had 70..

The great Phil Jackson and his player-coach extension for over 10 years in Derek Fisher wont instill a good system? It's going to be an atrocity?

You're just a hating Brooklyn-ite with an inferiority complex.

You and your town are mere shadows cast by the bright lights of Manhattan.

Knicks > Nets. Deal with it.

The Knicks aren't a very good team, so naturally they're not that fun to watch. They get good ratings because they have a huge fanbase, not because they're exciting.

the knicks are shit but they can be entertaining I admit. fatmelo is always a draw as well

exactly. when you have 10 million+ fans who will watch them, even when they are poor, then you get on national tv.

for the rest of us NBA fans, its terrible. id much rather watch teams that i dont get to see very often, yet have fun/exciting players, like charlotte vs milwaukee.

Not saying much.

[OncePerMonth]

Lower than past few years, but still more than Cavs.

Ridiculous.

[aboss4real24]

[Hoopz2332]

Big market teams = huge ratings. They will get a lot of televised games. Even when they suck.

this

[UK2K]

I'll always watch Melo.

He's fantastic to see play. Him and Steph Curry are can't miss basketball.

No one really cares about the Nets in NY except the Net fans. Sorry. And um, this offseason the Nets front office shifted gears and switched coaches for the third straight season, and are feeding that they are still a contender because second round picks are all going to become stars. Knicks are feeding that they are rebuilding and that hopefully next year we can get a second star.

BTW, there has been almost literally no discussion on Calderon at all. You're clearly not someone in the area, I can honestly say all summer i've not heard one call talk about Calderon & JR Smith and their impact. You're just lying. (And I'm someone chained to a desk by myself in my last job listening to radio all day to kill time.)

Not sure how you can make fun of Phil and Derek Fisher when you have Billy King, an owner who wants to sell, and your fourth new coach in three years. I don't think the Knicks are very good. But i don't want to trade places with the Nets. The Nets right now are in 2008 Knicks mode, saying in 2 years all the stars are coming just because.

[Stringer Bell]

The Knicks always get extra attention and coverage because of the big market.

it's funny when some people act like they are this great storied franchise when they haven't won a title in 41 years.

In the last couple decades, they are best defined by losing to the Bulls 10,000 times and losing the Finals because of Starks's game 7 brickfest and Ewing's 7-game brickfest. And Isiah Thomas.
