Yes but does Walmart have a website?

Not sure, but I know Ikea does.

NYK Mentality wrote:First and foremost, the Nets will never be the number one team in New York. Never. They could win 16 championships, and that still wouldn't change the fact that the Knicks have the hearts of New York City. The Nets can have Brooklyn and their new arena, because the Knicks have all 5 boroughs (consisting of die hard New York basketball fans) along with the World's most Famous arena known as Madision Square Garden. This will never change.

I actually feel bad for die hard N.J Net fans who just lost their team/franchise. If they had state (N.J) pride? They've either turned their back on NBA basketball entirely, or they've continued to follow the Nets of Brooklyn. But not by choice. If those NJ fans ever wanted to pull for a New York franchise? They would've been (New York) Knick fans to begin with. For the "fans" of the Knicks who've now became Brooklyn Net fans? I'm glad, because they were never Knick fans to begin with. Brooklyn can have those types of ship jumpers.

Yes, the Jets and Giants both left New York for the state of New Jersey, but guess what? We kept our bloodline. We kept our history and roots. We kept the name New York. The name New York means more than the "Jets" or "Giants".

Picture this, although it'll never happen, the league would never allow it to happen, but picture this; Dolan sells the New York Knicks to a foreigner from Russia. That Russian owner then moves the team to New Jersey. We lost our franchise. The Knicks are no longer called the New York Knicks, instead, as a fan base? We're forced to watch the birth of the Trenton Knicks. Could you ever have a love for the NBA again? Not a chance in hell.

Long story short? When these Net fans post with a deep hatred against the Knicks? Please understand, that those guys just lost their franchise. They (deep down inside) envy us. It's more than the amount of championships too, it's the fact that New Jersey can never compare to New York (basketball wise). We've always been the mecca, and that'll never change. They envy us as a fan base, because they not only know but also understand that what happened to their NJ Nets franchise? Can never happen to the Knicks.

The Nets of Brooklyn can never hold the New York Knicks jock strap. Never. Their fancy arena can never be compared to the historic history of Madison Square Garden. The Nets may belong to Brooklyn, but the Knicks belong to New York City. All 5 boroughs.

Getting outscored 32-10 during the 4th quarter? By the Minnesota Timberwolves? That's the Nets for ya. Last but not least? How about they finish something, anything better than...

34-48
34-48
12-70
24-58
22-44

Before putting the Nets inside of postseason conversation.

Although this post irks me some, cause yeah, he somehow thinks the Knix have already proven they're better then the Nets and it's over...

moocow007 wrote:But ultimately I could never understand why people felt (some so strongly and vehemently) that the Nets team didn't need any time to gel when pretty much every other team (even the Heat when the Big 3 first joined up) needed a year to really find their groove. Honestly it reminds me of the part in My Cousin Vinny when Vinny was questionning the fat redneck about how grits could cook faster on his stove than on any other stove on the face of the eart. There's no question about the talent the Nets have on the team, but you can't just throw a whole bunch of guys together and expect them to immediately come out clicking. The Knicks have been trying to do that for 12 years now, same with about 60-70% of the other teams in the NBA. But BOOM the Brooklyn Nets apparently don't need any of that weening period. I'm from Queens originally and live on Long Island now but I'm pretty sure they still have gel in Brooklyn like they do everywhere else.

This post is mainly on the money.

Still does not at all excuse the collapse last night, but this is absolutely true.

And truthfully, as I was typing that, I don't even know if I agree now. I had just typed out a paragraph agreeing with it and although I still do to an extent, we've seen Boston, LAL and others not take time to gel at all really. Then again, those teams had much better players who fit better next to each other then the Nets or Knix do.

Alexa Vega on Machete Kills. Wow...can't believe that's the same girl from Spy Kids. It's like watching Lacey Chabert grow up.

Just got my power back. Although I can't complain because I was out only 2 days and people have been out for 10+ days.
