'Like I said, no dogs:' Antagonist Patrick Beverley mocks Raptors again

One of the NBA’s top antagonists has set his sights on the Raptors.

Patrick Beverley, the 12-year veteran who has famously feuded with stars like Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton, is now taking aim at the entire Toronto Raptors roster.

Beverley had said on his podcast, the Pat Bev Pod, last week that he didn’t reel intimidated at all about the Raptors.

“Who’s the dog of that team?” Beverley had said. “I see (O.G.) Anunoby in a dark alley, I see (Pascal Siakam) in a dark alley I don’t feel threatened.” Beverley then added, “That’s not disrespect for them,” but after his Philadelphia 76ers manhandled the Raptors in Toronto on Saturday night, Beverley quickly took to social media to double down.

“Like I said. No dogs,” Beverley said on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Beverley scored two points and added five rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes.

The two teams meet again on Thursday in Philly and it will be interesting to see if there’s any on-court response from the Raptors.

In the past, Beverley has been a called a “con man” by Lillard, and told that he “trick y’all” and “don’t guard nobody, just running around doing nothing” by arch rival Westbrook, who later became a teammate. Beverley also called former teammate Paul a “(traffic) cone” who can’t defend.
