Kevin Durant has offered a friendly warning to the Celtics, for it seems last season’s first-round playoff victory was only the beginning.
After Australia won the bronze medal following Patty Mills’ 42-point explosion on Saturday, Durant began filming a video with Team USA assistant coach Ime Udoka, who recently became Boston’s new coach.

“Get outta here, man. That’s my teammate,” joked Mills, who recently signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Nets.

Durant then yelled, “There’s gon’ be problems for the Boston Celtics this year!”
Off camera, Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum responded to that claim.
“F–k outta here,” he said.
Udoka added, “We know how to lock Patty a– up,” referring to Team USA eliminating Mills’ country from gold medal contention earlier in the tournament.
