While the media is throwing the word "rivalry" around to describe tonight's game, the teams are saying not so fast.
"I think that word's been thrown around. I think we hope that it does become that, but you know the Brooklyn Nets are apparently different than the New Jersey Nets and this is a new beginning," Knicks forward Steve Novak said, AP reported. "So I think to call it a rivalry before it started is a little bit early, but I don't think there's any question it's going to be a good game."
Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony, a Brooklyn native, appeared pumped about the game.
"If we don't get up for this game, then I don't know what games we'll get up for," he said. "It's an inner-city game, New York vs. Brooklyn. To me, going back home, going back to my borough, playing my first game back there is a very special moment for myself."
