Doc Rivers has decided not to play Jason Terry tonight in Orlando. Tip-off against the Magic is in just less than an hour.

Look, I love some good trash-talking, I really do, but this is disrespectful. Terry is way out of line here.
And to echo what others have said, Terry should be busy working on those WIDE OPEN jumpers before he opens his mouth.
Very disappointed in Terry's lack of professionalism.
How can you love trash talking and in the same breath say this is way out of line? What kind of trash talking do you like then? lol.
I didn't see this as trash talking. This was more of bashing then it was trash talking, and yeah, there's a difference.
Usually, bashing isn't justified and it's cowardly. For instance, are the Magic terrible? Sure, but I'm not so sure Terry can say this, as he plays for a team that's 40-39 and is in a slump himself.
I'm a fan of Terry, and my evaluation of his signing will be dictated by his playoff performance, but this act of professionalism (or lack thereof) was out of line.
