Knicks: 3 Must-Watch Matchups of the Second Half

This Knicks Nets matchup should produce some fireworks.

Unfortunately, the Knicks squandered their only opportunity to defeat the star-stacked Brooklyn Nets at MSG back on January 13th, losing 116-109.

Despite this that doesn’t mean Knicks fans won’t have the opportunity to attend the game, they’ll just have to take an elongated ride on the subway.

It’s easy to deem New York’s loss to Brooklyn a disappointing one.

It came the same day as the trade for James Harden and aside from Kevin Durant, the Nets roster really didn’t contain any players you were rushing to watch.

We here at Daily Knicks don’t think the addition of James Harden is anything much to worry about. They’re still a beatable team.

Now, both rosters are each different as Harden takes the floor along with Durant, and all-star Kyrie Irving while Derrick Rose is back in orange and blue for the second time in his career.

While on paper it’s easy to recognize Brooklyn as ‘the better team’, I can almost assure you that the Knicks understand that the pride of New York is on the line and that they’re representing a group of fans that absolutely despise the Nets.

Plus, this is no longer your run-of-the-mill Knicks vs Nets game.

With four combined all-stars taking the floor, it’s a guarantee that quality basketball will be on display for the viewers.

It has been made clear throughout the course of the season that Knicks fans don’t take it well when Nets fans call their team ‘New York’s team’ so it’s safe to say that a Knicks victory in this matchup will be an emotional one and it’s without a doubt a must-watch if you call yourself a New York basketball fan.
