In a series of tweets about the matchup, Kuzma is seen by his followers tweeting about the Pistons ending the first half with a 19-point lead over the Celtics. He retweeted the post by Rob Perez with the caption, 'At this point, its like 'don't be that team''.

"Someone tell Kuz he's not on the Lakers anymore," posts @DocBrownPhD.
