Gobert starts Twitter emoji war by suggesting Jazz better than Celtics, Heat
Gordon Hayward is facing an important decision, so his teammate is trying to help him out.

Rudy Gobert offered some advice through emojis on Twitter:

Slighted by the poop emoji next to the three-leaf clover (not even four lucky leaves, by the way), Celtics star Isaiah Thomas tweeted the following:

That's a pretty ruthless - but accurate - title count.
Heat center Hassan Whiteside added to that lesson with a refresher of modern history:
