i know at one point last yr denver had a double digit win advantage despite playing in the tougher conference
the j.lin run might have equalized that a bit though....
knicks got the better player obviously
but the nuggets basically kept on trucking without melo, have better cap flexibility(or at least did when the trade was made), and some how probably have a better shot to win a title
maybe if the knicks make it out the 1st round this year(or win two games at least geez) it might begin to equal out but i think right now denver has done better post trade
