By now, you've likely seen Paul Pierce's tweet following Thursday night's win over Miami -- "It's been a pleasure to bring my talents to south beach now on to Memphis" -- and while that is certainly awesome and one of the better athlete tweets ever, some on the Heat were (expectedly) not too pleased. Including Udonis Haslem, who fired back on Friday.

For our less-than-hip readers, a "studio gangster" is "somebody who raps about ganglife style in hiphop" and can also refer to "being a wannabe gangster."

↵But hey, they're "the best 5-4 team in the league." So, there's that.
