I still believe in Tatum and Brown.

They already have a fair bit of playoff experience at a young age and sometimes that can attract negative attention from fans as that is when your weaknesses get exploited.

That’s attention that players who can’t even get their teams into the playoffs do not face.

Because LeBron was about to run away to LA, and that's just on of the reasons.

Horford's sisters are trying to suck up to Boston fanbase beacuse their brother left for their arch rival. With all the anger Kyrie gets, Horford has been able to get away with his move.

Because their coattails weren't big enough for him to ride on. If you want to know Jason Tatum's ceiling that's it btw - He'll never be a better player than Kyrie Irving.

Horford and his family want to stay in Boston's good graces, even though he left. It's not gonna work. Once this dust around Kyrie settles, and new season begins, fans will see Al Horford in Sixers uniform, and they are gonna have a reality check. Horford will be a footnote in Celtics hsitory just like Kyrie, and his sister will have to accept that. They are in Philly now, and them acting like they are still in Boston won't fool anybody.

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 :lol: :lol:

I went to school at Fordham so I lived in NY for 4 years, I have a lot of friends that are Knicks fans so I'm going to refrain from talking a lot of smack about your fanbase back for calling Boston the worst fanbase :wink:

Though I'll never forget being at MSG, wearing a Marcus Smart shirt and a Knicks fan said: "Marcus Smart, I think he's pretty dumb!" I'll never forget that, probably the worst insult of all time. I tried to hold back from laughing really hard :lol:

The Celtics young guys aren't present or future superstars in my opinion and Kyrie didn't like the pressure of being team leader & best player, it goes both ways since those guys had confidence from having success without him so with that clash of personalities it wasn't going to work. Kyrie is a pretty natural fit for Brooklyn and I think him + KD will get along well.

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?

Let's be real, Kemba just wants to make the playoffs. Kyrie was used to having that championship or bust mentality in Cleveland, and he tried to project that on his Boston teammates, which was way premature, and it led to his frustration. Those young guys just weren't ready, Brad Stevens wasn't ready, and Kyrie as the leader of the team wasn't ready.

Kyrie has always been a quitter even since high school.

I bet you in 2-3 years, he'll be on a new team again.
