Unrelated tho is he a practicing Muslim? I know some people still partake in only the fasting for Ramadan but is that his actual religion?
Kyrie's religion is whatever one suits his philosophical bias and unstable identity at the time.

They guy has a high functioning disordered personality, and nothing can be said to convince me otherwise

Celtics. For sure. Nets looked shockingly bad. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

Kyrie wasn’t playing most of the home games .. plus the Harden Drama, that’s why nets went down the hill lol now that we don’t have time lord. We gotta defend our home court and steal one game in Brooklyn.

Celtic fans were so excited after the Celts made the playoffs and became the 7th seed that season.

When the Celts got swept by the Cavs in the 1st round, a lot of Celtic fans wished the Celts stayed in the lottery.

Right now Celtic fans are happy with the way this season turned out.

But I'm not sure how Celtic fans would react if the Nets eliminate the Celts in the 1st round.

All the Celts had to do was lose the last game of the season so that facing the Nets in the 1st round would be avoided.

Rob Williams will not get a chance to play in this season's playoffs if the Celts lose in the 1st round.

Eh. The Bucks obviously share that sentiment of avoiding teams.
The Celtics don't usually do stuff like that, though.

We've got 17 Championship Banners.
We must be doing something right.


Agree 100% if Rob was healthy.

It's admirable that even when not 100% healthy the Celts decided not to dodge anyone.

But even the defending champ Bucks decided to stay away from the #2 seed.

So let's see what happens.

Raps>Nets

We took the easier team

Shaq & Chuck are equally dumb.

So which reverse jinx will win out?

Heard from a close friend in Brooklyn that multiple sources have confirmed that Kyrie just ordered a whole box.

Honestly I don’t think it’s that shocking. A lot of signs throughout the year have pointed to Brooklyn just being a pretty average team as a whole. Great offense, zero defense. It’s just hard for people to admit it because of KD.

The matchup is in our favor big time. They have basically no wing defenders to put on Tatum and Brown, while we have a collection of all-defense caliber guard and wings to cover their ONLY TWO (albeit great) PLAYERS. KD and Kyrie are going to combine for 60 a night playing 45 min each but that won’t be enough. Our offense is LEGIT right now. We are a much better TEAM right now and it’s going to show. This series is not going to be close. I really think that.

Still hating JB who didn't backdown after the weirdo's wannabee mentor comments in the media.

JB going off for 30+ in this series would be a nice statement
