The New York Knicks have a residency in the mind of Spencer Dinwiddie. No matter how good or bad the Brooklyn Nets are performing, he can’t help himself but talk about the Knicks.
Dinwiddie likes to fire up the Knicks fan base with all the shots towards the organization. And while it may give him some joy for the moment, the Nets aren’t doing spectacular things this season either.
Yes, the Knicks are one of the worst teams in the league and they’re bad. No, need to continue to tell fans that because that’s something they already know. Get new material.
New York Daily News’ Stefan Bondy reports Dinwiddie’s two-cents before he competed and lost, in the first round, of the skills competition this All-Star break. Dinwiddie said on the Knicks this season, “You want a real answer (about whether the Knicks will be much better)? Probably not.”  Well, the same could be said about the Nets even without Kevin Durant.
There was, and still is, much more hype surrounding the Nets, even without Durant, and they haven’t performed. And the East is bad. So what does say about the Nets.
Dinwiddie did admit that the Nets will never take out the popularity of the Knicks, true. He said, “We’re a better basketball team than the Knicks. We were last year. Probably will be next year. It’s kind of what it is. So I know Knicks fans are going to get mad, but that is the truth.â€Â Yes, it’s the truth but again, get new material.
Until the Nets actually do something noteworthy, minus the Kyrie Irving and Durant signings, Dinwiddie might as well be quite. The Nets will be better than the Knicks next year. But even with Durant coming off an injury they won’t be taking down the Bucks, Heat, Celtics or Raptor in there first season together.
Dinwiddie loves talking about the Knicks it’s almost weird. It just goes to show that no matter how bad the Knicks may be, it’ll always get under his skin and he’ll try to make the Knicks fans feel some type of way. Whatever he says, Brooklyn Nets will never be bigger than the New York Knicks.
