Who is more justified in their hate? Boston for Kyrie or Dallas for Porzingis?

Porzingis was alright in Dallas. His injuries was bad luck and that one playoff series was on Rick Carlisle. Then Dallas saw an opportunity to move off and took it

He admitted to not giving full effort in those Clippers series. They’re largely on him.

I don't hate KP at all.

Wild. There is a reason KP has literally never played a game in Dallas since being traded. He know what he did.

1 Kyrie is most hated player in Boston ( not even close ) league wide

3 why Porzingis is hated in Dallas ??? You should be happy you got Kyrie instead of 7 footer on the sidelines :lol:

Mavs' fans don't hate KP, they are just dissapointed. Always injured, almost always not in a good shape/form, chokes under pressure etc.

Remember when Mavs reached WCF in 2022 KP didn't play a single minute... It was all about Luka, Brunson & role players like Dinwiddie, Hardaway Jr., DFS.

Yep. Kyrie is way better player & actually available unlike KP.

KP didn't play a single minute in 2022 Playoffs when Mavs reached WCF.

So Kyrie has at least 4 realgm burners.

I mean, what Kyrie did to Boston was kind of grimy. I get he was immature and all that, but the dude was in his mid 20's, and this era is juiced to the T's with PR men and mouth pieces. He didn't need to go about that the way he did.

Sitting out the playoffs when we had a legit chance to make the finals was kind of grimy. Not even showing up to watch the game 7 because he was intimidated by Bron was kind of sad.

Beefing with the young guys who already proved they could win without you before, and during your rime was kinda immature and selfish. Giving no effort in that Bucks series was sad.

Calling the city out as being racist as a scapegoat for not wanting to own up to your own actions, burning sage in the arena, and disrespecting the mascot that was created by Red's brother was grimy.

It's kind of hard to image how one man could spurn a fanbase as much as Kyrie did in 2 calendar years when they literally put him on a pedestel. I can't think of another athlete who was as immature as Kyrie was during that time.

Most Boston fans are over it, but yeah, Kyrie kind of played himself during those years. Calling the city racist just to make racist comments himself and lose his endorsements. Not gelling into the team concept and wanting the young guys to buy in, just to not buy in and blow up the BRK Nets.

It honestly wasn't a good run for the guy.

Irving made promises on their home floor in public that he reneged on.

Boston easily.

KP was in Washington during the 2022 playoffs, he was traded in February. That's an odd thing to hold against him.

I've gotten over my Kyrie dislike and have said so a few times recently, but if anyone wants a trip down memory lane about his Celtics tenure I think my post from 2022 explains why we weren't his biggest fans for a while.

The man was a FA he had a right to leave did he not?

Kyrie and it's not even a question. Maybe some Boston fans are over it. But KP and Luka was just a bad fit. Kyrie promised to resign in front of the whole stadium and then put up a stinker and left.

Please read the post if you're going to heckle me about it. As stated, I was mad at him because of the number he did on the team while he was there. The best part of Kyrie's Celtics tenure in my mind was when he left.

That wasn't a heckle it was a legit question.

I do agree you guys were better off without Kyrie. I don't think Tatum or Brown are the players they are today if Kyrie was still on the team.

Should be a fun Finals because Kyrie is definitely getting a lot of boos every time he touches the ball. I can't wait!

In what way was Kyrie's series against the Bucks the "most inefficient series since the 1960s?" Just off the top of my head, Bron against the '07 Spurs in the finals was much worse.
