Bucks PG Bledsoe dismisses Celtics' Rozier

Terry Rozier helped the Boston Celtics jump ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks 2-0 in the best-of-seven series on Tuesday, but the Kyrie Irving understudy is still an unknown to the enemy.

Rozier has made 7 of his 12 field goal attempts in the first two games when guarded by Eric Bledsoe and scored 23 points with eight assists in Tuesday's 120-106 win in Game 2.

Asked postgame whether he was taking the matchup against Rozier personally, Bledsoe replied, "Who?"

A reporter repeated "Terry Rozier" and Bledsoe said, "I don't even know who the (expletive) that is."

Rozier has 46 points and zero turnovers in the first two games of the series. By comparison, Bledsoe is 9 of 25 from the field with 21 points, eight assists and six turnovers.

Discrediting Rozier could be intentional and retaliatory from Bledsoe. Rozier referred to Eric Bledsoe as Drew -- Drew Bledsoe was an NFL quarterback who played for the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys -- after the Celtics took Game 1 in overtime on Sunday.
