After 70-point game, Suns' Booker, Celtics' Crowder exchange barbs on Instagram
There were multiple Celtics players unhappy after Suns second-year guard Devin Booker dropped 70 points on them Friday night -- and count former Suns Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green among them.
But Jae Crowder took to the comments section of the official NBA Instragram account to voice his displeasure.

When the NBA posted a photo of the Suns celebrating Booker's accomplishment, complete with Booker holding up a sheet of paper with "70" written on it, Crowder commented, "NEVER SEEN SO MANY GUYS HAPPY AFTER AN 'L.'"
Booker quickly fired back with "you can't guard me." Savage.
Crowder then walked back his comment a bit: "I WAS TALKING BOUT THEM DUDES AROUND YOU. BUT ILL SEE U NEXT YR.!"
OK, Jae. It's just not a good look to criticize the opposing team after one of theirs explodes for 70 points on you. The Suns were celebrating -- during a season there hasn't been a lot to celebrate -- like any team would have done.
Booker's teammates, of course, backed him up:
