Salty Paul Pierce says Pacers will dust Knicks following Celtics elimination
NY Post
All that walking has Paul Pierce in hater mode.
The former Celtics legend, who had to embark on an eight-mile, 20-hour walking trip to the FS1 studios in Los Angeles after the Knicks shockingly won Game 2 in Boston, attempted to throw some water on the Knicks’ raucous celebration after they eliminated his beloved team in Game 6 on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
Pierce harped on the Knicks beating a Celtics squad at less than 100 percent due to Jayson Tatum’s absence since Game 4.
“Pacers ‘gon pop ya’ll, though. Ya’ll know that, right?” Pierce said on te Knicks’ Eastern Conference finals foe while sitting outside and holding a red Solo Cup, as seen in a video posted to social media.
“Ya’ll know that the Pacers is gonna get ya’ll. So I don’t even want hear all that, like, ya’ll feeling good, ya’ll beat an injured Celtics team. Ya’ll beat a Celtics injured team. We didn’t have our All-NBA player, First Team, MVP candidate, who led us in all these categories. Ya know, whatever. But shoutout to New York.”
That Pierce would be a Knicks hater is not shocking, considering he spent 15 of his 19 seasons in Boston competing against them in the Atlantic Division, plus another two in the Eastern Conference as a member of the Nets and Wizards before finishing his career with the Clippers.
