You did this to yourself, Eric Bledsoe.
The Milwaukee Bucks guard has gotten absolutely jocked by Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier through two games in the NBA playoffs. Yet after the C’s 120-106 win over the Deer on Tuesday, Bledsoe scraped the bottom of the NBA insult barrel and claimed to not know who Rozier was.
Well, the Celtics took it upon themselves to remind Bledsoe with a helpful Instagram post Wednesday morning.
Hopefully that does the trick.
But if it doesn’t, perhaps Charles Barkley’s message for Bledsoe is effective, too.
Bledsoe has been virtually invisible so far in the Bucks’ first-round series with the Celtics. On the other end, Rozier has been instrumental in the Celtics leaving TD Garden with a 2-0 series lead.
Check out these numbers through two games:
Bledsoe: 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.5 steals to go along with six turnovers.
Rozier: 23.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals to go along with zero turnovers.
That’s clearly not a good look for Bledsoe, but there’s plenty of time for him to change the narrative. Game 3 in the best-of-seven series will take place Friday night at 9:30 p.m. ET in Milwaukee.
