It fucking pisses me off how ESPN/the media keeps trying to force this Nets-Knicks rivalry. It doesn't even seem natural to me, just seems so damn forced. It's annoying as shit.

It is forced but I don't see why it would be annoying

Just marked out for the Talib Kweli Game comercial

I didn't even know Durant had those numbers. That's gross. I guess I haven't paid that much attention to the Thunder so far this year. Admittedly, it is probably because of my hate for Westbrook.

I'm always curious what people think of Westbrook. There seems to either be the crowd that thinks he's a great player & a tremendous scoring threat, then the crowd that thinks he makes really poor decisions, has way too many turnovers & needs to take a backseat to Durant instead of thinking that he is on equal footing.

As far as MVP talk goes, let's not get ahead of ourselves as we're not even at Christmas yet.

Because it's just so forced to the point that it's annoying to me.

If I can use wrestling terms, it's like the NBA/ESPN/media are trying so desperately to make this Nets-Knicks rivalry over with the fans but it's just forced. Just let it happen by itself, there's no need to keep pushing something that isn't there.

He is a great player and a tremendous scoring threat. The other side seem to be filled by morons who think that passing the ball to Durant on every possession would actually work. Westbrook's assists have shot up this season while his turnovers have not(he does average a really high number of them though, but so does Durant, it comes from handling the ball a lot). He does make a lot of dumb decisions as well though and really needs to improve on his decision making in some aspects, but that doesn't mean he's a bad player.

DALLAS -- Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins claims his below-the-belt shot on Dallas Mavericks guard O.J. Mayo was an accident.

Mayo doesn't believe that one bit, saying that Cousins has a "big maturity problem" and "mental issues." Mayo also requested that the NBA office review the tape of the incident.

Mayo and Cousins were called for double technical fouls after a confrontation with 3:25 remaining in the second quarter of the Mavs' 119-96 win Monday night over the Kings. Mayo was irate after Cousins hit him in the groin area with a fist during the previous possession.

"It wasn't intentional, but there was a lot of trash talk," said Cousins, who had been fighting Mayo for position when he delivered the no-look blow behind him.

"That guy has some mental issues, man," Mayo said. "He's a talented player. He has an opportunity to be the face of that organization, but I don't think he wants it. ...

"He's immature, man. Big maturity problem. Hopefully, he'll grow up out of it and become great. He definitely has the talent to."

About ready to give up on Cousins, I'm always taking up for him but he's a lost cause. The Ndamukong Suh of the NBA.

What good is this rivalry if both have a good chance of not even making it to the 2nd rd? Best rivalries are the ones where both are legit title contenders..This modern era had little runs of Lakers/Kings, Celtics/Heat, Pistons/Pacers, and a few others..Knicks/Nets is pretty far down there..ESPN should wait to give it this type of love until they do something in the playoffs..imo
