When the New York Knicks facethe Brooklyn Nets sometimes there are off-the-cort situations in which some of players get involved in order to heat everything up before an NBAgame. It also helps to get fans involved in a situation that stays on the court. However, when it comes to the Netsā situation, some comments could hurt some feelings.
Even so, when the Nets are in a bad situation, while crossing the Hudson river, the Knicks seem to have a very promising situation in the 2022-2023 NBA Regular season. Despite the Knicks donāt have a winning record, in fact they have 5-5 record, as the 7th place of the Eastern Conference, they are above the expectations so far.
In fact, the Knicks have Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson, and RJ Barrett as their big 3 players with at least 20 points per game. Something unseen in a long time for the team that plays their home games at the Madison Square Garden. Asthe Knicks could have been the team in trouble with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, now some people enjoy watching the Nets getting so much trouble.

The Brooklyn Nets situation couldnāt be worse, first an offseason drama with Kevin Durant, who wanted to leave because he didnāt liked the way Steve Nash worked. After that storm calmed down, the start of the season became anotherissue. Despite Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving dropped almost 30 points every night duringthe first two weeks of the season, the Nets couldnāt avoid to lose. Then, Irving got suspended for an off-the-court reason, and to top it off, the Netsā wonāt see how to get back to a winning record.
Meanwhile on the other side of the Hudson river, the New York Knicks seem to have overcome the challenges that were part of them last season. Thatās why even Julius Randle is trying to get back on the Nets everytime he cans. āThatās their problem. All good over here in Knick-land, baby.āhe said about all ofthe Netsā problems mentioned,accordingthe Newsday reporterSteve Popper.
However, not all the Knicksā players reacted the same about the Netsā problems. In fact, Jalen Brunson didnāt want anything to do with those harsh comments. āI know what everyone knows. Itās a situation I hope they (Nets) get sorted out over there. Itās our next game thatās all I care about.ā he said to Popper.
