Raptors G.M Says !#%& Brooklyn Before Raptors-Nets Game (Video)

Okay, this is being a bit trivial and isn't something nobody's ever said about an opponent before.

But this time it's a General Manager...and unfortunately for Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri, he uttered a profane statement towards the Brooklyn Nets at a pep rally in front of a fired up crowd of Raptors fans prior to the start of their 1st Round Eastern Conference NBA Game.

And yes, Ujiri used the "F-Word" a word some people use quite frequently. But not often as an executive while performing in their role as an executive.

((Side Note--We wouldn't recommend talking TOO much smack to Brooklyn-ites...just sayin'))

In the grand scheme of things, no this probably isn't a big deal, rather it just illustrates the "Be Careful What You Say" in public rule that most high profile people need to think about.

**Note** At halftime of Saturday's game, Ujiri apologized saying "You know how I feel, I don't like them, but I apologize"

Report: Nuggets Fire George Karl

((ht: @WojYahooNBA))

So much for winning NBA Coach of the Year.

According to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, the Denver Nuggets have decided to part ways with now former head coach George Karl.

Wojnarowski says Karl was seeking an extension of his contract, which had one year left on it.

Karl coached a talented Denver team to a 3rd seed in this years Western Conference playoffs, but the Nuggets were eliminated by Golden State. The team played very well during his 8-year
tenure, but never was able to get very far in the playoffs.

Oh, Denver's G.M Masai Ujiri just left the team to take over the Toronto Raptors last week. 

Speculation has already begun that Karl may end up in Los Angeles as coach of the Clippers.
