Boston’s Blake Griffin takes parting shot at the Nets

Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant react to Ben Simmons’ preseason debut

Following a long offseason, Blake Griffin signed with the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics and a few days ago he spoke to reporters about the team’s environment.

Blake Griffin spoke with MassLive reporter Brian Robb about his new team, and threw shade at his former Nets teammates. Griffin proved to be a consistent role player for Boston in their last preseason game.

“I think the intensity and maturity level of this group is off the charts,” Griffin said. “Every day when we get to work it’s intense. It’s not that we’re going forever but these guys are locked in and no one has to tell us to be locked in. It’s refreshing.”

Griffin hadn’t gotten a lot of practice time before playing in their preseason game, “I hadn’t played 5-on-5 yet so it’s always a little weird coming in.
