Few players draw the ire of Toronto Raptors fans like Washington Wizards forward Paul Pierce does.
As the regular season was winding down, Pierce revealed in an interview with ESPN that he does not fear the Raptors because they simply don’t have “It.”
DeMar DeRozan, Masai Ujiri and Dwane Casey have already addressed Pierce’s comments, but the Toronto Sun decided to get in on the action, making the 37-year-old the target of Saturday’s sports section cover.
The animosity dates back to last season when the former superstar blocked a potential series-winning shot from Kyle Lowry at the buzzer in Game 7 of a first-round matchup between the Raptors and Brooklyn Nets.
Toronto and Washington tip off their opening-round series Saturday at 12:30 p.m. EST.
