Kevin Garnett’s concerns over the Philadelphia 76ers’ chances against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday intensified, as the Clippers continued their slump with a flurry of losses. Garnett worried they would need Joel Embiid to lead the Sixers to victory, at the time siding with analyst Paul Pierce from the home team, albeit during their recent struggles.

The game also featured some friendly banter between former Celtics teammates Garnett and Pierce. Garnett’s tweet highlighted his concerns about the Sixers, while Pierce, a consistent Clippers supporter, maintained his faith in the home team, even if it meant he could face Pierce at the game in a scandalous championship uniform whole. Paul stated, “I’m actually going to that game, I got Clippers,” revealing his allegiances. KG immediately counters with, “You’re only saying that because you’re going to the game.” In a playful twist, Garnett added, “Despite their recent struggles… Paul Pierce and I are both rockin with the Clips at home today. If you see P at the game today say wassup… hopefully he not wearing the same shirt.”

The Clippers’ woes are on full display in their recent game. This validates Garnett’s pregame concerns for the team. The 76ers star center is to face a Clippers team that was reeling from a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, a team considered by many to be lower in the standings.
