Paul Pierce to Draymond Green: '3-1 lead oops'

In a verbal exchange picked up during the broadcast of Thursday night's battle between rivalsGolden State Warriors and LA Clippers, silver-tongued All-Star forward Draymond Green was more than happy to remind soon-to-be-retired superstar Paul Pierce he "can't get no farewell tour," telling him, "They don't love you like that. You thought you was Kobe?"

Early this morning, "The Truth" fired back with a vicious subtweet that's lighting up the Twitter-sphere today:

The Warriors can still point to the scoreboard, though. Their comeback win over the Clippers last night at Oracle Arena, highlighted by a 50-point third-quarter explosion, was their 10th straight win over their heated adversaries dating back to the 2014-15 season. It's the second straight season Golden State has swept the season series.
