NBA: Bledsoe about Rozier: “I don’t know who that is”

Eric Bledsoe of the Milwaukee Bucks has disparaged Terry Rozier after his second play-off defeat against the Boston Celtics. He took it very calmly.

Bledsoe was asked about the latest 106:120 Celtics match against Rozier. “Who?” Bledsoe asked. “I have no idea who the hell that is.”

Rozier, who often played one-on-one against Bledsoe, had a 23-point share in the Celts’ success. He was also an important factor in game 1. Among other things, he had sunk a three-pointer 0.5 seconds before the end of regular playing time – after letting Bledsoe drop out with a crossover.

Rozier was later asked about Bledsoe’s statements, but remained cool. “I won’t go into it,” he said at the post-game press conference.

The series between No.2 and No.7 Seed now goes to Milwaukee, where the Bucks basically have to win both games to have a chance for the second round. Game 4 will broadcast live on DAZN at 7pm on Sunday.
