ESPN broadcaster Richard Jefferson doesn’t want to hear it from the Boston Celtics fanboys. Jefferson, who is on the call for parts of the Knicks-Celtics series for ESPN, responded to famous Celtics fans Bill Simmons and Dave Portnoy, after the booth was criticized during Boston’s Game 3 triumph.

Bill Simmons provided a scathing indictment of the Boston Celtics' performance following their consecutive losses at home against the New York Knicks.

Jefferson called out Simmons right off the bat, saying 'Pritch Please' as he shared his list of grievances with the podcaster. He also appeared to invite himself on 'The Bill Simmons Podcast.' Jefferson led the Nets to the 2002 and 2003 NBA Finals during his time in New Jersey alongside Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Kerry Kittles and others.

Boston has way too much talent to be ruled dead just yet, but there are some seriously concerning trends popping up right now. If you ask longtime Celtics fan Bill Simmons, he believes that there's an " arrogance " surrounding the team that is preventing them from making the adjustments they need to make in order to win games.

The Boston Celtics are in good position to continue a recent trend affecting recent NBA champions leaving early in the playoffs.
