TSS:The NBA Crossover-Knicks And Nets

The guys are finally back to give a quick preview of the rosters in the tri state area. There isn't a lot going on in Brooklyn apart from Lopez, Lin, RHJ and two disgusting role players. As for the lineup at MSG, well, from 7 through 15 leaves a lot to be desired (check the outtake during the end credits at around 41 mins for the REAL thoughts). As always, Rusty mentions Vince and pmac's baby starts crying on cue. Another barnstorming episode!

The boys are finally back for episode #170 and touch on everything 2016 has had to offer so far. For the Nets - a proper rebuild has begun under a new GM and coach, while for the Knicks - so much hinges on the health of their two biggest acquisitions.

The guys are back to talk about the Nets firing both the Coach and GM as well as touching on the Knicks' mini resurgence. There is never a dull moment with these two franchises!

The boys are back for episode 168 - the final one for 2015 - and one of the main talking points is the ordeal faced by Knicks young gun Cleanthony Early. The guys recap the past few weeks in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, and look ahead to what they want out of 2016 for their Knicks and Nets respectively.

The guys are back to discuss all things Latvian in NYC. Kristaps has been a revelation for New York and led a semi resurgence towards the playoffs while the Nets have continued to flounder with no prospects for the future. Tough times for some. All that and more on TCO 167

In episode #166, the boys return for a new season with a sobering take on the Eastern Conference and, in particular, the Atlantic... or should we say 'Titanic'... division. They run their eyes over the starting fives of all 15 Eastern Conference teams, and give their takes on the Brooklyn and New York rosters.

Brooklyn scraped into the playoffs while the Knicks couldn't even lose enough games to finish last. The guys are back to discuss this and preview the first round match ups.

The boys are back for a monster episode #162 where they talk all things trade deadline - from players no one has heard of finding their way into deals, to Kevin Garnett heading home to Minnesota. The Nets and Knicks have both traded older players for newer models. Will it work out?

The guys are back to discuss the Knicks rebuilding plans starting with the JR/Shump trade. The Nets aren't scorching either and they are surrounded by trade and sale talk. Itl be an interesting run into the deadline.

The guys are back for their first show of 2015 and Pmac only wishes episode #160 brought with it brighter news for Knicks fans. Unfortunately, he and Rusty agree - this could be a historically bad season for the boys from Manhattan. The boys also discuss the Nets' fascinating mid-season resurgence, and again call for All-Star voting to be revamped.

The guys are back to discuss the first flourish of NBA action for the Knicks and Nets. The Knicks started reasonably but are on a 4 game skid. The Nets are faring better and are near the top of the East. All this and, as a bonus, the answer to life's big question - should you tie all your horses to the wagon that is Chris Bosh?

The guys are back for episode #158 - the first of 2014-15 - to bring you up to speed on everything Nets and Knicks before their new seasons tip off. Which franchise is destined for a better year? Can the Nets even stay healthy? Download to find out.

On the other hand, the Nets are a .500 team and Rusty thinks they could be a Conference finalist. Tune in to hear why. I'll cut 'em off and suit up!!!

In episode #152, Rusty delves into how the Nets have managed to bounce back from their disastrous start to the season with a great run of form so far in the new calendar year.

The guys make their long-awaited return in episode #148 to quickly run their eyes over the most painstakingly-long off-season in NBA history.

The guys are back for episode 137 and its a bit of a Nets focused affair. The Knicks' rough last week or so is glossed over and all star reserves are predicted but the bulk of the episode is Rusty recapping Brooklyn's recent run of wins and gleefully declaring them the best team in the East. As Kris Humphries would say: "Huh?"

In episode #136 Rusty and Pmac recap the past week's worth of games - with both the Nets and Knicks, for once, performing well at the same time. The guys also discuss, at length, the 'Melo versus KG' incident and just how one of the league's all-time great trash talkers got under the Knicks star's skin.

The guys are back for the first episode of the new season. Opening games for each team are recapped and they take a brief look at the opening week for the league. Some bold predictions are thrown about by Rusty, Blatche runs out of gas, Sheed becomes the new Scalabrine and Melo whacks LBJ upside the head. The NBA is back in full force!!!

The boys discuss how good the new Nets could be, as well as discussing just what free agency and the trade period may have in store for the Knicks. Note: This episode was recorded just before Steve Nash became a Laker and Houston made an offer to Jeremy Lin.

The guys are back to wrap up the conference playoffs and give a quick preview of the Thunder v Heat Finals series. And it wouldn't be TCO without some ridiculous shit about the Knicks and Nets thrown in as well!!!

In this episode, recorded earlier this month, Rusty and Pmac discuss the Knicks' ill-fated playoff run and the unveiling of the Nets' new colors and logo. They also take a quick look at the remaining playoff rounds and predict the 2011/12 NBA finalists.
