Drake has been in LA for Coachella so the Toronto Raptors Global Ambassador wasn’t in the building this year for game 1 of the playoffs. Raptors GM Masai Ujiri was on hand to give another pregame rally for the fans and once again he let out an expletive that costed him a heavy fine. Though Drake couldn’t make it, he did post a response to show his support for Ujiri and the team.
NBA: Raptors GM Masai Ujiri Fined $35,000 For Saying “We Don’t Give a Sh*t” About Paul Pierce
It looks like Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri is going to make this a playoff tradition. Last year he said “f*ck Brooklyn” during the Raptors fan rally before game 1 against the Nets. He was subsequently fined $25,000 and later apologized. This year ahead of the Wizards playoff game against the Raptors, Paul Pierce said the team “don’t have the ‘It’ that makes you feel worried.” Masai responded to Pierce’s comments by saying, “We don’t give a s— about it.” So what happened? You guessed it, he was fined and apologized yet again.
(Video) NBA: Raptors GM Masai Ujiri On Paul Pierce “We Don’t Give A Sh*t About Him”
From the same guy who said “f*ck Brooklyn” during the playoffs last year when the Raptors were facing the Nets, Raptors General Manager Masai Ujiri is now setting his sights on Paul Pierce. In this case though Pierce deserves it somewhat after he acknowledged the Raptors are a good team, but they don’t have “it”. Similar to last year, Ujiri went outside to “Jurassic Park” where Raptors fans convene to watch the game on a huge outdoor screen and make sure to let Pierce know what he and Raptors fans think of his comment. There is a chance Ujiri is saying “We don’t give a sh*t about it” instead of saying “Him” but either way it works. Gotta love the playoffs!
