Tweet of the Night: Courtney Lee

by

Did fans throw some hate messages towards Boston Celtics forward Courtney Lee? After suffering a 110-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, their second consecutive loss and seventh loss in the last nine games, Lee shared his words of frustration on twitter for whatever impatience he may have heard from writers or fans.
