The GOAT didn't show the same love for The Kelly Olynyk after he went off on the Wizards in ECF Game 7. And those two even have history together.
Ah yes. The endless summer. I believe I posted in all 999 "All purpose Love Durant" threads.
And of course, the first tweet is from Pogue.

Really has grown into it lately. being a stone cold playoff killer helps, for sure, but he’s also been first off the bench cheering guys when he’s not in, doing his encouragement thing, and also just a calm, “we got this” presence. Will be a little more challenging when we’re not sweeping, but I love what I’ve seen so far.

I honestly just think its just the playoffs. You can tell all the years going to the finals with the Cavs, Kyrie is permanently in the regular season doesn't matter mindset. So I don't think he takes the games as serious, all the smaller things that get blown out of proportion really bug him because he really just is waiting for the playoffs to start.
I think that can be a really bad thing for a team that had so many people searching for their roles. Hayward was returning, Tatum trying to live up to high expectations, Brown and Rozier not wanting to be demoted. I think the way Kyrie handles the regular season really didn't help all that.
But it seems like everyone has finally found their role just in time and Kyrie is a completely different dude on and off the court in the playoffs.

I think the rest of the C's playoffs may determine that. Or, Kyrie may have come to peace with his decision already, which has made him mellow out for his comments to the press, etc.

It will be hard for Kyrie to resist unless we win a title. Imo, him and Durant are just way too close and allure of the Knicks is big mostly cause of the market and NY being his hometown(definitely not the franchise as it's been trash for 20 years now)... I think he will be tempted, hopefully we either add AD or win the title, would prefer the latter....

Kyrie is gone. The question is can the Celtics make the finals before he bolts to NY? The crappy part is that our starting PG next year will be the overrated and soon to be overpaid...Scary Terry
