Brian Scalabrine was not in the mood.

Following the Celtics’ season-ending Game 7 loss to the 76ers on Saturday, the Boston icon was on the set of the NBC Sports Boston postgame show when some Philly fans managed to get under his skin.

As the 109-100 Boston loss was being discussed on air, a group of jubilant Sixers fans could be heard saying: “We want Boston!”

Scalabrine then got a bit personal as he replied: “You are ugly!”

The “We want Boston” chant was used by Sixers fans during their play-in win against the Magic, which clinched the No. 7 seed.

And the Sixers proved their fans right over the last week, erasing a 3-1 series deficit and stunning the crowd at TD Garden on Saturday.

Scalabrine was not the only Celtics figure who had some fighting words after the game, as Jaylen Brown accused Joel Embiid of “flopping around” following the loss.

With Jayson Tatum out of the Game 7 lineup for Boston with left knee tightness, the Celtics shot just 39.8 percent from the field and 26.5 percent from 3-point range.

The Sixers, meanwhile, got huge performances out of Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe and will now prepare for a series against the Knicks.

Game 1 will tip off at 8 p.m. on Monday at Madison Square Garden.
