At 25-25, the New York Knicks currently own the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. They've been able to put it together a little bit this year and the team is shaping up to be a problem in the future.
They're due to play the Brooklyn Nets on Monday, a team that has stacked itself with numerous superstars heading into the postseason. However, the Knicks don't seem worried about facing off against the star-studded Nets. Instead, Reggie Bullock and Julius Randle are laid back and confident when talking about the Nets' Big three, per Knicks Videos.
Reggie Bullock says the Knicks won't be fazed by facing the Nets' Big 3:

They provide the perfect response. Bullock immediately says the Knicks have “a Big five,” then Randle chimes in with “we got a Big 15.” This is the exact type of mentality any team should in any sport. If your squad is star-struck, it makes playing the game incredibly difficult.
Between Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and potentially Kevin Durant's return, the Knicks will have their hands full when the two teams face off on Monday night. However, New York is more concerned with themselves than they are about their opponents.
“We're not really concerned about their Big three. We know what type of basketball we'll be able to come into the game and play. We'll focus on our team. The game plan that coach draws up. Other than that, that's all we're focued on. The Knicks.”
At the end of the day, that's all New York really can do. Just focus on their game and prepare to play against another NBA team. The matchup takes place in Brooklyn, so the Knicks are aiming to walk away with an upset on the road.
