Toronto-Brooklyn headline feud continues after Raptors level series vs. Nets
Forget Southern California-Northern California or the Battle of Texas. Raptors-Nets has been the most heated first-round NBA playoff series, with verbal shots fired
by Toronto GM Masai Ujiri,
some Brooklyn Nets veterans and, most notably, the cities' respective tabloids.

April 19, 2014 Then this, in response to Ujiri's "f--- Brooklyn" comment from before Game 1, after the Nets took a 1-0 series lead:

April 20, 2014 And Wednesday, after the Raptors leveled the series 1-1, the Sun went with a headline reminiscent of an old Shaquille O'Neal rap lyric:
The Toronto Sun takes a shot at the Nets again....front page of the paper this morning. "JurASSKICK Park"

April 23, 2014 May this series, somehow, never end.
