Why did Kyrie run away from Tatum and Brown?

[Froob]

That team was better without Kyrie. Should have kept Terry Rozier.

Keep Rozier over Kemba? We had to renounce Rozer to sign Kemba.

It's so f***** funny how other fanbases try to deny this.

Anyone who knew anything about the team knows he's a prick and treated people as such.

Like, the only fanbase who will side with us on this is Cleveland, of all places. Other fanbases actually think he wasn't a problem

Kyrie came to the realization the Celtics were and still are extremely overrated.

Yeah that's why Kemba was so dissuaded at the opportunity to come to Boston after he left right?

Anywhere was better than Charlotte my dude.

Lets not act like New Yorkers are saints but I feel you. I know alot of real dudes from the Bean

Some of the worst people I ever met are all from the northeast. Ct, mass and ny especially

Northeast>>>>>>>>>>>>West Coast though. Philly fans can be excluded from this though, they're notoriously trash (booing Santa Claus, lol).

Im just talking about in general that people from Boston aint really that bad in real life.

If we talking sports. Boston by far have the worst fan base in sports.

I knew a few Bostonians, (If you still call them that) and they were kind of arrogant. But Philly fans are the worse to me.
They beat the Vikings in the playoffs NFC champs games, and they threw beer/piss/ and cursed us the whole game. They are the sorriest fans, and I would have feared for my life had we beat them 38-7.
Never going back to that city.

The police/city even grease up the lamp post to keep them from tearing them down.

Tatum and Brown are/were highly overrated.

If you mean they're overrated because they once led their team to within a game of the Finals while averaging almost 20ppg in the 2018 playoffs as a rookie and sophomore, then yeah, I guess you have a point

My stance concerning these two remains the same: the upcoming season is their prove-it year after they displayed their tremendous potential during the 2017-18 season. I believe the presence of Kyrie on the roster held them back, stunted their growth. I don't think they'll be superstars, but they'll hover around that 2nd tier. I have no doubt they'll meet expectations, and we might not even have to wait since we'll be seeing them play for Team USA.

It's great that Tatum got hot for a little bit. No really, it's fantastic. And Jeremy Lin averaged 25/8 for a few weeks and MCW almost had a quadruple double in his first NBA game.

Ive heard stories of Boston fans stabbing Yankee fans. (It mightve been the other way around but they still are terrible regardless)

[LBJKB24MJ23]

like Kawhi, Kyrie was traded somewhere where he had no say, tried to make the best of the situation and shouldn't be held accountable to stay. he's a FA and leaving Cleveland a main priority (like Kawhi in SA) - he will get an opportunity to play with KD and in his hometown.

i see nothing wrong with that as much as I see nothing wrong with Kawhi going back to LA (from a Raptors fan perspective)

7 pages in and I'm no closer to understanding why Kyrie left. Whatever time I spent reading those pages was wasted and I'll never get back.

[beantownski]

kyrie leaving had nothing to do with boston fans. it had to do with him not wanting to be the lead guy like he thought he did. even though he had one of his better seasons on the court, he couldn't handle the other stuff that comes with being the face of a franchise. so he chose to team up with someone who would take that light off of him. going home was the bonus.

Because he wanted to.

I can't wait to wish Jayson Tatum happy 19th birthday soon! Reeeeeeal soon I tells ya!

"Got hot for a little bit?" Tatum averaged 14 pts and 5 rebs on 47% shooting for the rookie season, was consistent throughout, and managed to up his production in the playoffs. My point was there was a reason Tatum got overrated, and it's because he displayed tremendous promise as a rookie, and after failing to significantly take a leap in his sophomore year, people are now lobbing hate bombs at him. I don't know what you're trying to get at here

[Hellcrooner]

guess he doesnt like to be around people that thing the earth is round?¿
