The budding (more like exploding) rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers took another bad turn on Tuesday night, this according to guard Shaun Livingston.
The two teams already have enough bad blood for Taylor Swift to write a song about them, but things are starting to boil.
After the Clippers destroyed the Warriors (who were without Stephen Curry), Livingston suggested Chris Paul and company couldn’t keep their mouth shut.
“They were out there talking. If they want to talk, we want to talk,” Livingston told CSNBayArea.com. “We’re not going to just back down. They’re up 20 and talking, up 30 and still talking.
Though his strongest comments were directed at Blake Griffin, who Livingston felt was playing a bit dirty.
“He’s going with all these antics; just play,” Livingston said. “He’s out here wrapping me up, putting elbows to my forehead. Ok. I understand. Don’t get me wrong. They want to beat us.”
“I’ve got 12 years in this thing, and you’re out here trying to throw elbows at me and wrap me up and do all that,” Livingston said. “That makes no sense to me. Just play and you don’t have to do all of that. You’re big enough and strong enough that you can just box me out without doing all of that.”
I know you’re wondering – the next time the Warriors and Clippers meet will be November 4th, so you might want to clear your schedule on that evening.
