The playoff series between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics has been a heated one. These two teams have a history of aggressive play and getting chippy on the court. The two made headlines during the regular season after Celtics veteran Kevin Garnett took shots at Carmelo Anthony's wide after a game. Now, LaLa Anthony is the subject of more taunting as reserve guard Jordan Crawford fired shots to her husband. Well, LaLa is not taking this one sitting down, firing back at Crawford over Instagram.
Crawford did not play a single minute during the Celtics win during Game 5, instead chosing to make headlines for reasons other than his basketball playing. As the two teams were exiting the court, Crawford began to taunt Anthony, almost creating a brawl on the court. Knicks point guard Raymond Felton heard the comments and appeared upset, pushing teammates to get to Crawford.
After the heated exchange, Anthony told reporters that Crawford was not worth talking about and he would not address the situation. However, LaLa does not feel the same way. The VH1 reality star took to her Instagram account, posting a picture that read, "Strong women only intimidate weak men." She placed the caption, "Try again. You on the bench for a reason" with the photo.
It is unclear exactly what Crawford said about LaLa that got Anthony so upset, but many people on social media believe the comments were not exactly kind. Crawford attempted to defend himself to media after the game.
"I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened, you know what I'm saying? I was on the bench the whole game. I don't know why they was talking about me," Crawford said.
He later took to Twitter to claim that he would never talk trash about another man's wife and that he does not even known Anthony.
The heated exchange is just another page in what has been an exciting playoff series between the two teams. The New York Knicks were on the verge of sweeping the Celtics, before allowing the team to win two straight games. Boston will now get to host Game 6, hoping to get the win and force a Game 7.
