Following another signature performance by Warriors star Steph Curry, Kent Bazemore took to Twitter, where he would praise his teammate for another amazing game.
Interestingly, he would also make a reference to Bradley Beal’s recent hamstring injury.
“49 points in 29 minutes, that’s unreal. We got guys hurting hamstrings to keep up.”
Beal has since responded in a series of scathing messages…
Lol should I let him live or really go off?

Beal’s wife, Kamiah, eventually jumped in…
I wouldn’t hold my breath for a response. But hey, maybe after a long night of 8 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound, 6 turnovers and 6 fouls he will have some time.

Naturally, fans were pretty entertained watching Beal’s pretty lengthy response. It seems that Bazemore really set him off, and not exactly in a good way.
While he has yet to respond to Beal’s rant on Twitter, don’t be surprised to see some more words exchanged.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Twitter, especially, it’s that it can embolden its users.
The best part about this rather entertaining exchange is the budding rivalry that may be budding between the two players, and their next matchup will be all the more intriguing for it.
Still, both Beal and Baze have more pressing matters to deal with. And as the Wizards and Warriors try to squeeze into the postseason, both players will need to be at their best.
It will be a trying few weeks, to be sure.
