We have quite the interesting post up today from Evan Abrams, known on Twitter as @Betropolitan, who lists the odds — and they are very long odds — on anybody other than the Indiana Pacers or Miami Heat emerging from the Eastern Conference. You can even get 40-1 odds on the Detroit Pistons, who have defeated both of those conference powerhouses.
Those are the same odds listed for the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks, who both have major problems on their hands and no easy solutions.
In this interview with Jody MacDonald on WFAN in New York, we hit on the problems of the local teams, what the silver lining is for each of them, and what can be done via trade or via patience for the Knicks and Nets to turn their seasons around.
