Colin Cowherd Goes After 76ers Fans On Twitter
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Celtics and Cavaliers announced a mega trade on Tuesday night, which sent Kyrie Irving to the Celtics for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn's 2018 unprotected first-round pick.
FS1's Colin Cowherd immediately took to Twitter, as did most in the sports media. Cowherd immediately declared the Celtics eastern conference champs for the next six years -- something Sixers fans took exception to. And they let Cowherd know.
Lebronzo. That's actually the deal getting finalized today.

Cowherd then tweeted this bomb, directed to Philly fans.
