New year, same Masai Ujiri. Prior to Game 1 against the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the 2014 NBA Playoffs, the Toronto Raptors general manager got the fans outside of the Air Canada Centre revved up when he capped off his portion of the rally by saying, "Fuck Brooklyn!"
Earlier this week, Paul Pierce had some things to say about the Raptors, which added some fuel to the fire as their first round match-up in this year's playoffs approached. Two days ago, Ujiri was asked about Pierce's comments and he seemed to be playing it safe. "I honestly don't have enough money to respond to him," the Raps G.M. said, referencing the $25,000 fine he received for his remarks towards Brooklyn. "I think if I did have enough money, like, everybody knows exactly how I would respond to it and how the whole of Toronto would respond to it."
Guess we don't need to wonder how he would respond anymore because while speaking at the fan rally this year, Ujiri must've let all that adrenaline get the best of him when he told the crowd, "We don't give a shit about him!" Masai may want to get a Kickstarter going to help him cover that fine, like, right now.
