Robin Lopez is known around mascot circles as a bully. A playful bully, but someone every mascot has to keep an eye on.

Just look what he did to Hooper the Detroit Pistons' mascot back in December.

With a bully like that coming to the Q, Cleveland Cavaliers mascot Moondog has to watch his back, because according to Twitter he is already on Lopez's radar.

@ZachLowe_NBA It's a sign from above, I'm on a mission from God like Jake and Elwood. Moving on to @CavsMoondog #NoComeuppance

Moondog didn't seem concerned, poking fun at Lopez for being the lesser known of the two Lopez brothers in favor of his brother Brook. Even showed he knows his stuff by dropping a Mikan brother reference.

No offense @rolopez42, but I only feud with the more high profile of twin brothers. No one remembers the mascot fights with Ed Mikan.

But Lopez refused to let go, so Moondog shook him off with this:

@CavsMoondog Yeah but people are going to remember what I do to you for years. I dedicate this to all us Ed Mikans out there. #EdMikan4Ever

Dear @rolopez42, I refuse to make you famous. Your hero, @CavsMoondog

Pay Attention @rolopez42: RT @cesarmillan: Most of you know my rule “no touch, no talk, no eye contact” for when you first meet a new dog.

Looks like Moondog won the Twitter battle, but Lopez could try to get revenge on Wednesday night. And while Lopez currently has a broken hand and shouldn't pose too much of a threat, Moondog might want to keep that head on a swivel.
