Kevin Durant Slams Teammate For Comments About Celtics

Kevin Durant slams comments made by Brooklyn Nets teammate Bruce Brown about the Boston Celtics.

After beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first-round of the NBA Play-In tournament, the Nets are set to play.

Celtics starting center Robert Williams has been ruled out through a knee injury.

That means both Al Horford and Daniel Theis will be called upon to cover the post.

The news comes to the delight of Brown, who thinks the injury will work in their favour.

“Them not having Robert Williams is huge,” said Brown in a post-game presser. “We can attack Theis and Horford in the paint.”

“We respect our opponents,” Durant said in response. “We don’t need to talk about what we’re going to do to them.
