Kyrie is so bad. I would seriously consider trading him for a better fit

Celtics are not gonna shoot like this from three every night. If they have an average night, they win by 20 every time.

BOS is getting easy shots every possession. No way DAL can win this series with their defense.

Doris Burke can't stop talking about missed 3s.. I feel like that's all she's said since the first quarter

Dallas got exactly what they needed… a terrible 3-ball game from Boston and they still can’t crack them. This is a sweep or gentleman’s sweep.

He might play better in Dallas like a role player LOL. He's clearly dealing with a metal block.

It's so weird to see this. Like I'm watching a shell of a player who was good merely 10 days ago


He's haunted by his own legacy in Boston. the promises not kept.

Brace yourselves Lebron watch will be the topic of discussion after the Finals.

Good thing FA is right around the corner so it won't last long.

Still a special player, Boston’s defenders ARE (that’s plural) just too much for him, almost feels like they know his moves maybe they played with each other before.

Celtics are being allowed to get away with murder on defense.

Kyrie being 0-11 against the Celtics since leaving is WILD. Is that some type of record?

Because he's being propped up like he's some ultimate superstar when he clearly isn't


That happens when you're in the top tier of American players though. Edwards, Tatum, Brunson...they are all really good players, but clearly a rung below the absolute best.
In Boston's case there is enough talent around him that the Celts remain a viable championship contender anyway.


Let all the hate pour out it’s ok but Tatum is doing everything needed for his team.
