Edit: If we're talking about 82-game schedule, that team definitely wins more than 35. In a shortened season, I still think they'd could reach that win total.
I don't disagree with that. I guess my main bone was the contention that NJ and NY would be battling it out for the 8th spot.
NJ will obviously be better with a full season of Deron. By the same token its not realistic to expect the Knicks to be 10 games worse then they were last year after they traded 5 of their top 7 players for Anthony.
In truth both teams will get better. Given that I just don't see how NJ makes up a 20 game record difference.
