The PATH from 33rd st to Newark is probably closer to a 35 minute ride (and the more I think about it, it's probably a bit longer than that).

The Nets really needed to make the move when they were competitive and the Knicks were in the midst of the Thomas regime. They had a real opportunity to take some of the Knicks fan base who were so disgusted with what was going on during then. All of a sudden there would have been a good home team to root for. But unfortunately for the Nets that boat has sailed. The Knicks are a good story again and everyone is jumping back on the bandwagon. The Nets lost a big chance and now will always be the red headed step child compared to the Knicks.

Can't really argue that point, because it's 100% accurate.

But like I said there were alot Knicks fans (including myself, when I really follwed the NBA) were so sick and disgusted with Isiah/Dolan show, that at least me personally were rooting against them. They were such a hard team to like and you wanted to see Dolan get embarrassed and fire Isiah. And with every passing year of them staying and losing together, made you loathe and root against them even more. I really think that the Nets could have came in and made a big splash with that disgusted portion of the Knicks fan base. The fact that the Knicks are relavent again (before Carmello and being basically a .500 team) for the fans shows how desperate they have been over the last decade.
