Knicks-Nets Rivalry to Extend Right Down to the Wire

The NBA really wants Knicks-Nets to turn into the next big rivalry in the league, and why not considering that both play in the New York market, and both are good at the same time for seemingly the first time ever.

The Nets and Knicks played four games against each other very quickly in the first half of the year, and didn't see each other again, as both teams made their runs to the postseason.

Next season will be different. The two clubs will play one another on December 5 in Brooklyn, and then not again until January 20, April 2 and April 15 of next calendar year. This means that there could be some really intense basketball games between these two down the stretch.

The Knicks will open their 2013-14 season against Milwaukee at the Garden on October 30, before heading to Chicago on October 31. The Knicks won't play the Miami Heat until January 9. KNICKS SCHEDULE.

The new look Nets open up 2013-14 on the road in Cleveland, before returning home for their home opener against the Heat. So the Nets, who have a new coach, Jason Kidd, and added Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce will get tested very early this season. NETS SCHEDULE.
