Knicks fan here. Ill give you some reasons to be hopeful:
1. They play MUCH better defense than the Kings
2. Lakers were EXPLOITED at the PG position by Bibby. Now they face
an even better PG in Kidd.
3. They have 3 centers to deal with Shaq and all are pretty decent and not scrubs like Pollard who is the ONLY backup for Sac. A-train,Todd Mac,and Collins.
4, Lakers have trouble vs. running teams. Is their a better transition team than the Nets?
That beign said it will still be tough as nails trying to knock off the 2 time defending champs. I will be rooting for the Nets to do it.
