Most pitiful so far — New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets

If the Nets lose this game at home, Kidd is done, right?

of all the weeknights to have something to do

Def gonna dvr this one.

ah damn just noticed this closes the day before they play. well whatever.

gotta believe the grizz win bought kidd a few more games at least

maybe, but also gotta believe they have to win that game at home. imagine the boos that will rain down

i would say the nets have been worse... i think most people realized the knicks were a house of cards anyway

people (including me!) looked at the nets roster and thought they had a real shot at the finals

i think they were a consensus ilh top 2 or 3 east team

just jumping into the predictions thread, j0rdan had the nets in the finals, k3v had them in the eastern finals.

both teams decimated by injuries, but nets theoretically were contenders while the knicks realistic ceiling was distant 5th in the east, so yeah this has gotta be BKN

Nets on paper, I never would've imagined would be this bad. Knicks so different from last year I knew they'd never be as good, just surprised they're this much worse

spottie

it's pretty shocking that Pierce and Garnett both crashed right out of the gate. Reminds me of how CWebb looked pretty good right up until that trade to the Sixers.

Webber post-Kings was depressing

nets certainly more disappointing but by definition of "pitiful" i think i'd go knicks

Spottie, don't worry about buzza, that's his 'shtick'

the nets are more pitiful imho kidd having no idea what hes doing really puts them over the edge, the knicks are just bad which is their natural state

I'd make the case for the knicks in that yeah the nets fell from a greater height theoretically but we also all knew it could be bad w/r/t the team being cobbled together from aging and worn out parts, with a head coach who had literally never spent a minute in any coaching capacity prior to starting. Gut feeling is that super-teams fail more often than succeed. So it's at least a little bit excusable

Knicks otoh, Smithgate has been awesome, and they're trolling their fans especially hard by pulling out the #2 spot in the East last year and then falling to dead last this year

p funny the knicks were so successful w smallball then they totally reorganized their team to match up against indy and miami as if they were ever gonna beat them

Knicks are sadder but it's less surprising somehow. I couldn't have seen the Chandler injury coming, and that's apparently making a HUGE difference, but otherwise it just never felt to me like they pieces they had were going to make a very good team.

now we will totally win the nba!

I couldn't have seen the Chandler injury coming

What, this was totally predictable. The guy is made from glass

yerp

Yeah the Bernani trade pushes the Knicks over the edge for me

JD & The Straight Shot should cover this:

yeah, the knicks really have very little defense without Chandler, it's sad. and when he comes back they'll probably overplay him again

I save my pity for those who deserve it, such as Mets fans.

hey, the Mets got a championship more recently than the Knicks!

knicks are def more pitiful than the mets especially considering their place in the hearts of new yorkers

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

On the whole I'd give the Nets a better chance of pulling out of their slump than the Knicks.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

oooooooooo close one!

outrage

trade idea: enter into any trade with the Knicks. You will invariably come out ahead.
