Celtic. Born to be a Celtic.

Here he was in high school.

Here are two of his green cat friends.

Not really new news I suppose but it reinforces as to what many people believe is going to happen.

Kyrie may leave, he may not, but the day the Knicks get no one of real importance is going to be a **** show on here and boost my forum ego into the nosebleeds even though I have no rational reason for my lack of faith in anything good happening to their franchise.

We know Kyrie is likely going to stay in Boston.

But the thing is, is KD lame enough to run away from GS?

You know whats funny? With the publicly now known friendship between Kyrie/KD and how analyzed they are in public etc. I wonder why this isn't discussed when it comes to Kyrie with other players?

I got no idea how close Kyrie is to Kyle Lowry but at the Celtics/Raptors game in January I was at those two were chatting and hugging during warm ups like they were long lost brothers. Talked during a few commercial breaks too.

Of course nobody cares but Kyrie is kinda touchy and friendly with A LOT of players.

I am sure he is closest thought to the KD and AD types obviously based on intel, but it's not like Kyrie is some unfriendly dude with other players from opposing teams. I think he was seen on Christmas telling Embiid to "call him" with the hand signal thing after the game but I doubt those two are going to be pairing up anytime soon.

The hilarious thing is Kyrie tried to recruit and did recruit Gordon Hayward to Cleveland before Lebron came back and the media never once mentions it. :lol:

They will just show you the clip of Kyrie yelling at Gordon at the end of that game this year even though Gordon said Kyrie called him that night to apologize.

I have worried too at times about Kyrie leaving. But I really don't think he is anymore. The noise is pathetic though and it is easy to get sucked into since it has happened to me. I also have believed he would think seriously about the idea of becoming a Boston villain since he would likely not want to become booed and hissed at in a city where his parents actually met in.

Kyrie is not leaving. I truly believe Ainge was given Kyrie's word or he would have dealt him. Ainge isn't a moron and I think he communicates with Kyrie regarding the future of the Celtics just like he does with Stevens. Maybe not as much, but Kyrie's part of the inner circle. The media just like a freaking soap opera and drama.

Especially after the Celtics shock the world and win it all this year.

I want Kyrie to end up in Boston, but maybe he doesn't.

He isn't going to the **** Knicks though. I just know I will be right on this one in the end. 14% and logic be damned.

Haha. I try. I guess time will tell, but I’m feeling pretty confident. Which I suppose is a Russell trait.

Stevens appreciates his star’s sentiment, but from what he can see their collaboration has been clicking all along. The Celtics coach also believes that too much attention is paid to all of Irving’s nuances.

“It’s one of those things, where Kyrie’s every step is over-analyzed. In fairness to him, way, way over-scrutinized,” the Celtics coach said. “He’s a really smart guy, very easy to get along with, very easy to be around, so I’ve never looked at it as something that was broken or needed to be fixed.

“We’re in an 82-game season, there’s ups and downs, and we’re both trying to get to the same place, which is to win and be the best we can,” Stevens said. “I’ve kept coaching, he’s kept playing, and it’s been good all year in my eyes. If he said that, I guess it’s a good thing, but not going out of my way to be different than I am, and I don’t want him to be different than he is. We’re just trying to be the best version of ourselves.”

Irving becomes the 5th player in Celtics history -- Bird (7x), Hondo (4x), Walker, Jo Jo White -- to record at least 23 ppg, 5 rpg, 5 apg in a single season. Kyrie did it with the highest effective FG% and lowest minutes per game among all of them.

Pierce in 03/04?

He got close in a handful of other years too.

22.95 points per game in 03-04 apparently. This is why these arbitrary cutoff type stat factoids are dumb haha.

Kyrie was on the radio yesterday talking about the season.

Said something along the lines of

"A lot of ups and downs. A lot of BS. Things that happened and weren't handled as best they could be or professionally. And I'm talking personally, I'm not talking about the team, I'm talking about myself "

Thought that was good to hear

I think it all comes down to how this off season goes. If we can't make it past round 2 I reckon he will look at his options, if we can make it to at least the ECF and make that a series then hopefully there's a good chance he stays, particularly if he's confident we get AD or someone of that caliber.

Same here but that wasn't the point.

Fortunately, there's almost no other team Kyrie could go to with a substantial recent track record of solid leadership. Dolan is well-known to be terrible. The Buss family has been screwing up for half a decade. The new group at the Clippers look excellent, but haven't accomplished much yet. Brooklyn hasn't even had an ownership change since they were awful. San Francisco and San Antonio aren't options. Etc.

Someone on the GB who isn't a Celtics fan actually made a decent point, the first time I seen this happen in a long long LONG time.

Boston is the pragmatic choice. In Boston he also has a chance to pair with AD, if that happens he won’t even look like a ring chaser.

lol thats actually sort of true. If we bring in AD......Kyrie is already here and it doesn't look like Kyrie is trying to pair up with the top 5 superstar on another team in a new place.
