Julius Randle Needs To Hit Kevin Durant With A Cease & Desist For Calling The Nets "The Big 15"
What the fuck is this? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? You can't just take a nickname that Julius Randle gave the Knicks while talking about the Nets' Big 3 last month!

It took me a while to come to grips that the Nets have somehow become the franchise us Knicks fans always wanted our team to be. A place that could lure in the best free agents in the world and form a Big 3 in the big city. But that's exactly what happened. Which is fine. That's just another example of what life is like under James Dolan.
The Nets built their team from the bottom up and once it came time to cash those assets in for studs, they did. Now the Nets get to be the fancy boy franchise with a Big 3 that can do shit like this.
Meanwhile the Knicks are the team with the grinder coach that gets stuff done. It may not be pretty, but it got home court advantage in the first round thanks to every guy on the squad. Be it Julius Randle putting up a 24/10/6 while leading the league in minutes, D Rose being a huge spark off the bench, Theo Pinson cheering them on from the sideline, and Elfrid Payton keeping everyone on their toes by making sure no Knicks lead is safe.
There is only one Big 15 in New York as well as the NBA and they play in Madison Square Garden.
