Well, we’ve been expecting this.
For those who need a reminder – Paul Pierce created a frenzy when he chose to speak so candidly with ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan. Among other headline grabbing quotes, PP decided to trash talk the Toronto Raptors a bit.
“We haven’t done particularly well against Toronto, but I don’t feel they have the ‘It’ that makes you worried,” Pierce told ESPN. “There isn’t a team I look at in the Eastern Conference that makes me say, ‘They are intimidating, we don’t have a chance.’”
Current Raptor DeMar DeRozan had an answer for Pierce, as did the media, particularly the Toronto Sun who responded with a hilarious cover of the old vet (pictured above). Now it’s the entire city’s turn.
Take a listen below.
