LOS ANGELES -- The Knicks and the Nets don't meet too often for anything significant on the court. In fact, the only time many really wanted to see them battle was when the Knicks won a title in 1973 and the Nets followed with crowns in 1974 and 1976.The problem was the Nets were then in the ABA. Since the Nets joined the NBA in 1976, the teams have both made the playoffs in the same season just seven times and have faced each other in the postseason just three times, all in the first round.
So you're having a hard time remembering that epic miniseries in 1983, when the Knicks won 2-0.
Well, now the Knicks and the Nets are now having a battle that could turn out to be memorable for years to come. They're both trying to acquire forward Carmelo Anthony from Denver by Thursday's trade deadline, with the Knicks certainly the favorites.
Is it any surprise that Friday a New Jersey paper (Bergen County Record) reported the Nets were close to a deal for Anthony and a New York paper (New York Daily News) reported the Knicks were the more likely destination and the Nets have been simply used as leverage? The Nets used to share New York with the Knicks until moving to New Jersey in 1977 but they go back over the Hudson River for 2012-13, when they're scheduled to move to Brooklyn.
