Worse team: Lakers or Knicks?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Both these teams look awful. Blown out at home on opening night. Which is worse?

[Mr.Kite]

Of course the knicks. at least the lakers know they are in tank mode for 5th pick

[IncarceratedBob]

Knicks are always worse

[imnew09]

C-mon, Lakers started the season with two major injuries from Nash and Randle already... :cry:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Of course the knicks. at least the lakers know they are in tank mode for 5th pick
I don't know. Lakers whole team philosophy of no 3s and a crap load of mid-range jumpers is idiotic for the modern NBA.

[Smoke117]

Lakers. At least Carmelo is in his prime and should be chucking.

[imdaman99]

Knicks are worse. But I fully expect them to live rent-free in your bandwagoning head :oldlol:

[MellowYellow]

Lakers - 25-57
Knicks- 47-35

Book it, set your calendars, tell your buddies.

[ArbitraryWater]

Dont know... Both will suck epically though. Everyone will have a great time laughing at them.

How is a bloated salary with only 47 wins in the east any better than 25 wins for a shot at a top 3 pick

[BigBoss]

Knicks by FAR

[Legends66NBA7]

Lakers because they play in the West.

Because 47 > 25 numbnuts

[ballinhun8]

Espn

[Bless Mathews]

Lakers. By far.

[BigBoss]

Knicks are the worst team in the league.

Carmello Anthony is the spiritual successor to Tracy Mcgrady

Because Knicks actually have money to go out and improve through free agency next year, Lakers don't. Lakers star is 36, and in his twilight. Knicks star is 30 and in the tail end of his prime.

you guys should have just let melo go and started the tank this current new york team is not going anywhere.

[Smoke117]

I honestly don't know...it's like asking...would i rather be paralyzed from the waist down or deaf. I'm not sure what to pick in this particular devilish evil my friends.

A complete rebuild takes years, the Knicks can be contenders next year if Phil pushes the right buttons in free agency.

[CHi1PriDe]

hmm interesting debate on the injured players, 2 on 2 pickup game if they were healthy..

Nash/Randle vs Cald/barg

[SwayDizzle]

???
no brainer. I'm not sure anyone would choose being paralyzed over being deaf

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Bump.

Lakers: 5-14
Knicks: 4-16

Thoughts?

[Magic 32]

Add all the wins of the teams the lakers have played and do the same with the Knicks.

[imnew09]

Lakers better if you're blind. Besides Lakers played against some really tough teams in the West.

[Wavves]

I'd rather verse the Knicks than the Lakers tbh

[MellowYellow]

Point differential tells the story quite clearly, Lakers gettin blown out on the reg, Knicks losing by a just a few points every game. If the Knicks fta equaled their opponents they are a .500 team at least. Tonight's game against Cle showed the ref bias against them. And that ish been happening every game.

Ref bias :oldlol:

Whatever helps you sleep at night bro.

[fragokota]

The battle of the heavyweights, hmm i don't know they both suck big time.

[Cocaine80s]

Lakers are worse.


However, switch Kobe with Melo and the Lakers would be better

[stalkerforlife]

Lakers are better because of Kobe.

4-1 against the east.

Knicks have better overall talent, but Lakers have the best player in the game.

[DMV2]

Right now, Knicks are worse but they can easily turn things around just because they play in the Leastern Conference.

[hawksdreamfan44]

If Nash and Randle were healthy for LA, I feel like the Knicks would've been the worse team. But without them, the Lakers are the worse team.

[Genaro]

Lakers are better, I wish it was the other way around though because the Knicks may ended up with the worst record and the better pick.

[redhonda76]

Knicks are worst. They are in the Eastern conference, have better players still worst than the Lakers record-wise.

[Beastmode88]

Idk how its possible for the knicks to be worse than they were last year and Amare is our best player. :facepalm Melo needs to show up if hes getting paid that much money.

[Legends66NBA7]

Point differential isn't accurate without Strength of Schedule. Combine them and you get Simple Rating System (SRS).

SRS (Zero is the average)

Lakers: -4.51 (24th)
Knicks: -7.26 (27th)

Both are terrible, but the Lakers have some how managed to squeeze out a better record.
