Rozier plays down Bledsoe beef: 'I ain't got no bad blood with nobody'

If there's any ill will between Terry Rozier and Eric Bledsoe in their first-round playoff matchup, it's completely one-sided.

Days after Bledsoe answered a question about Rozier with "I don't even know who the f--- that is," the Boston Celtics guard responded by shrugging off the remarks and insisting his focus is on the task at hand and not getting into a war of words.

"I ain't got no bad blood with nobody," Rozier said ahead of Thursday's practice, according to ESPN's Chris Forsberg. "Everybody out here plays basketball, ain't nobody no boxers or none of that stuff. I'm not really worried about all that. I'm not caught up in that. I'm worried about Celtics and Bucks, how can I help my team get past the first round?"

It may have sounded like Rozier was taking shots at Bledsoe during his Game 1 presser by referring to him as "Drew Bledsoe," but in actuality, all the 24-year-old guard did was flub Eric's name.

"I made a huge mistake," added a smiling Rozier. "But it is what it is now. I don't care."

Rozier has thoroughly outplayed Bledsoe through the first two games, averaging 23 points and 5.5 assists on 46.9 percent shooting, including 7-of-12 from the field while defended by Bledsoe.

Boston holds a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, with Game 3 taking place Friday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
