Jae Crowder felt disrespected by Celtics fans rooting against him, deletes tweets
Jae Crowder was not pleased with the fans rooting for Gordon Hayward and against the Celtics in Tuesday night's 115-104 win over the Utah Jazz.
Crowder finished the game with 21 points and a season-high five three-pointers.
“I hear the cheering [for Hayward] before the game,” Crowder told reporters after the game. I didn't like that at all. I think that was a sign of disrespect to me from the fans. That sparked a little fire in me.”
He took to Twitter to express his disappointment:
Another Twitter user replied, "Welcome to boston jae...love it or leave it" before he replied "< I HAVE NO PROBLEM LEAVING IT.!" and then deleting the tweet. He also retweeted a user that said "Come back home to the Mavs."
