Tyson Chandler probably put it best before the Knicks and Nets met in Brooklyn for the first time Monday night. Chandler said it's not a rivalry because there's no playoff history, they don't dislike each other and they haven't battled in meaningful games.

Chandler said he feels "more animosity toward the Heat and the Celtics" right now, and rightfully so....
They played for both the Knicks and Nets
