Paul Pierce Fires Back At Draymond Green’s Trash Talk With Tweet

Draymond Green did not shy away from taking a verbal jab at Paul Pierce in Thursday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers.

Paul Pierce Tweets Response to Draymond Green’s Trash Talk

In the opening minutes of the Warriors’ 123-113 home victory, Green began trash-talking the 39-year-old former Boston Celtics star, who is set to retire soon. The Warriors star taunted Pierce by saying he wouldn’t get a farewell tour like Kobe Bryant did in his final season last year because he wasn’t as loved.

“Chasing that farewell tour — they don’t love you like that,” Green yelled at Pierce– who was sitting on the Clippers’ bench– in audio picked up by TNT. “Couldn’t get no farewell tour — they don’t love you like that. You thought you was Kobe?”

One fan, however, was quick to remind Pierce that his team once blew a similar 3-2 playoff lead to the Lakers.

The Warriors’s win on Wednesday was their 10th straight over the Clippers dating back to the 2014-15 season.

The Clippers next host the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, while the Warriors will host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
