The Boston Celtics won over the Orlando Magic and took a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals last night. Sweeping the Magic is not yet sure even if the Celtics had taken over the lead and are 32-0 in the playoffs. Apparently, Boston star Paul Pierce was thinking sweep after the game because his PaulPierce34 twitter account said: “Anybody got a BROOM?”
Pierce’s online representatives are saying the account was hacked. According to Pro Basketball Talk, Paul Pierce’s Twitter updates mostly come from the web or via SMS. However, the “anybody got a BROOM?” tweet was generated through the twitterific platform.
Meanwhile, other people saw Paul Pierce talking with reporters when the tweet appeared. Someone tweeted: “RT @taramanis @athleteint I saw [Paul Pierce] talking to other reporters when these were sent… no cell in hand.”
The said tweet came after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. Paul Pierce’s twitter account is verified so there is no question about the authenticity of Paul Pierce’s Twitter profile.
The tweet sent the media into a frenzy and they even asked Dwight Howard for a comment. When asked about what he thought about the tweet, Howard said, “No comment,” then “pride come before a fall.”
The trash-talking tweets have already been removed from his profile.
