Possibility tonight could be Kyrie Irving's last home game as a member of the Boston Celtics. Just saying.

IT was better and areally bleed green, miss the guy.

Kyrie, well fancy dribbles and tough shots, but no way he can be a NB.1 that leads championship team. If we add his personality, well...he will not be missed if he leaves.
IT is absolutely not better. And that guy did not bleed green. He bled IT. It was all self-serving.

Neither was really my cup of tea. IT liked Boston because, as he couldn't stop blathering on about, the city supposedly loved him. I mean, really, where but in the ultra-entitled NBA does someone go on endlessly about how much people love him?

And Kyrie isn't much better with all the fingerpointing at his teammates and whoa-is-me complaining he dished out this year.

But yeah, Kyrie is the better ballplayer.

Sign-and-trade to Brooklyn for DLo and change? Even possible with the apron?

Boston doesn't really need a high-usage low efficiency scorer who plays no defense like Russell. But he hits some fun floaters I guess and he's got ice in his veins in the regular season.

And sludge in his veins in the postseason.

Hopefully his last game as a Celtic in Boston. Not good enough or realiable enough to deserve a long term max deal.

Move on.

Everyone can GTFO with the anti-Kyrie bs. He has had a bad series, people just love to hate this dude for some reason man. What's funny is a lot of the same people will be pumping their chests when he re-signs this summer on a roster with Davis

I’m pissed at him, but at this rate he’s needed for AD. If he bounces then the rebuild and treadmill will be a long one.

Would be a monumental failure to go from a team with the brightest future in the league to what’s possible next season.

If LeBron had Lillard instead of Kyrie he'd probably have won 2 or 3 rings in Cleveland. LeBron gave Kyrie a legacy, that's how it is. Otherwise the Kyrie lead Cavs wouldn't have made the playoffs even once.

Terrible leader, terrible communicator, terrible defender, can't run an offense, seems way less explosive than a few years ago, Kobe-wannabe trying terrible shot after terrible shot. Oh, and injury prone as well. Why are we going to give him a max contract, really?

Gotts re sign him, just so we can trade him for a package in 2 seasons when this **** doesnt get better.

Hate to lose him for nothing.

I have no opinion on any of that except to say the cavs only have the one ship they do have because of Irving. Not lebron.

It's not a debate.

So who is the C's starting PG next season?

Right now it looks like Smart.

Kyrie is gone

I hated your leadership, but loved your game. Too bad

I’d happily max Kyrie with or without Davis. Not wanting this guy is crazy. If he resigns and we don’t get Davis you just hope he is a little humbled by this and improves as a player and leader in the offseason.

Wednesday is his last game as a Celtic. Unfortunately. Next couple of years are going to be rough. Cant wait for Rozier to Jack up off balance 3s next year as the starter

His whole deal is that the regular season doesn't matter and just wait for the playoffs where I'm an actual genius. Then he gets to the playoffs and pukes all over the court. If you're going to manage your load all year you better come out in the playoffs like Kawhi or LeBron and not Jordan Clarkson.
