It's remarkable how quickly things can change.

Only a few months ago, Boston Celtics duo Isaiah Thomas and Amir Johnson were battling the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals.

Now, the two are battling each other on social media in defense of their new teams.

Johnson posted an Instagram photo Saturday from a Philadelphia 76ers photoshoot and captioned it with his new team's unofficial slogan.

Thomas, who was recently traded to the Cavs, responded with criticism of The Process - a term ex-Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie used in reference to their historic tank job, which Joel Embiid has since redefined and embraced as a lifestyle.

That comment led to some more trash talk between the friends - who spent the last two years together in Beantown - with Johnson taking aim at Thomas' chances of capturing a championship.

All love.
