Crazy that the nets have to field probably one of the greatest big 3's to get a 10 percent lead in local viewership over the Knicks bro. Knicks fans are nuts bro. How are 111,000 people watching Knicks games when they could/should be watching Nets games bro. How many decades do the Knicks need to slap their fans in the face with the crap they've been putting on the floor at the garden before the fans finally realize that the only way this changes is if they stop watching it. As long as the TV numbers and box office numbers are good, the Knicks have no motivation to field a good team. They know Knicks fans are suckers and will watch regardless for no good reason. I don't get it when there is now a viable better option town. Why stay loyal to a team/franchise that doesn't care about putting a good product on the floor. The Nets have accomplished way more than the Knicks in the last 2 decades alone. Knicks fans have to stop watching and start effecting the Franchises bottom line for this to ever change.

Is this anything to really celebrate? The Knicks are been irrelevant for most of the last 2 decades and it takes a mega trade to add Harden with Durant and Irving for people to start looking at Nets? This is pretty sad.

Another 2-3 years is nothing, considering certain teams' fanbases have waited much much longer to be cheerful again.
Every team has its ups and down, some stay up longer but will come down, others stay down longer but will come up eventually.

Nets went thru some tough times recent years. It's their turn to be on top for a bit.

my post wasnt meant to be hateful towards the nets.

imo the nets window for a chip is 2 to 3 years and the knicks also could make the playoffs, even this year. when there are fans allowed in the garden and the knicks play playoff ball in 2 or 3 years. New York will be a knicks town again, like it always has been. thats all im saying.
