The Nets/Raptors series is tied 1-1 (Raptors beat the Nets 100-95 last night), but I have a feeling things are going to get crazy once they head into Brooklyn!! Toronto’s GM Masai Ujiri isn’t going to get away with what he said — watch what happens when he comes to NY — Brooklyn fans don’t play!! Hit the jump to see what Paul Pierce & Kevin Garnett had to say about game 2 and moving forward…
Via ESPN:
A frustrated Paul Pierce felt the Brooklyn Nets were “a soft team” on defense and in the paint during a 100-95 Game 2 loss at Toronto.
But Kevin Garnett believes there will be nothing soft about the Brooklyn home crowd when the Nets return to Barclays for Games 3 and 4 of this best-of-seven series.
“We know it’s going to be a rowdy environment, like it should be,” Garnett said. “I don’t know if you can say ‘F Brooklyn’ and then come into Brooklyn. So we’re about to see what it’s like.”
Garnett’s comment is in reference to Toronto general manager Masai Ujiri shouting “F— Brooklyn!” at a Raptors pep rally before Game 1 outside Air Canada Centre on Saturday. Ujiri was fined $25,000 by the NBA for the expletive.
But Garnett hopes the Brooklyn home crowd will really make the Raptors and Ujiri really pay by making the atmosphere a hostile one on Friday during Game 3.
