By Scoop Fox New York is a city that’s so nice that they named it twice. Unfortunately you can’t say the same thing about its basketball team. Already the NBA finished up one-fourth of its 82-game season and we see both the 5-13 New York Knicks and the 5-14 Brooklyn Nets flopping harder than a Spanish soccer player. Even though things look their bleakest, there is still some time to right the ship for both teams. But the question is which team has a chance at salvation and which is doomed to rot in basketball hell. Well let’s look at the rosters for each team. The Nets have a good amount of talent on their squad, let by the likes of C Brook Lopez, SG Joe Johnson, F/C Andray Blatche, and PG Deron Williams. Newcomers to the squad include a trio of former Celtics SF Paul Pierce, PF/C Kevin Garnett, and SG Jason Terry to add some grit to a team that was obviously missing when they were knocked out of the first round in last year’s playoff. Now on to the Knicks. They boast perhaps a top 10 NBA talent in SF Carmelo Anthony to go along with stout defensive C Tyson Chandler and the 2012-13 6th NBA Man of the Year SG J.R. Smith and reliable guards in PG Pablo Prigioni, PG Raymond Felton, and SG Iman Shumpert. They then brought in big man scorer PF/C Andrea Bargnani to go with PF/C A'mare Stoudemire and drafted SG Tim Hardaway Jr. to add some energy coming off the bench.
