Paul Pierce Postgame Comments Same Premise as Hacked Tweet

Somebody allegedly hacked Paul Pierce’s Twitter account shortly after the Celtics took a 2-0 lead over the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals. The impostor tweeted “Anyone got a BROOM?” which sounded like a take-off of Pierce’s comments immediately following Boston’s 95-92 victory.

“We gonna try to close this out in two games. Y’all hear me? We’re coming home to close it out.”

Closing it out in two games is the same thing as saying it’s going to be a sweep. But in this day and age, it’s far worse to type something on Twitter than to actually say it on live television.
