With disappointing performances against the Bucks, following a turbulent regular season, the all-star guard has worn out his welcome with a vocal segment of Celtics supporters.
Kyrie Irving might have played his final game in Boston as a member of the Celtics. By Des Bieler Des Bieler Sports reporter covering national topics, including fantasy football, as well as supporting coverage of D.C.-area teams Email Bio Follow May 7 at 1:47 AM By losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday and coming within one defeat of getting knocked out of the playoffs, the Boston Celtics may be set up for a rough couple of months.
“I WON’T miss the Kyrie era,” another declared. One fan asserted, “Kyrie can go ruin the Knicks franchise for all I care.” Naturally, that kind of cold streak isn’t sitting well with his team’s fans, and it didn’t seem to help much that Irving was asked about it after Monday’s loss and replied, “Who cares?” Noting that he took 22 shots in the latest defeat, making just seven, he said, “I should have shot 30, I’m that great of a shooter.”— Alan Pinajian May 7, 2019 What a clown. Used to be one of my fav players now really hoping he moves on. Awful.
It was left to Durant, of all people, to offer words of reassurance for Boston supporters, as the Golden State star asserted that Irving and Co. would be “fine once the playoffs start.” Initially, it appeared that Durant would be proven correct, as Boston started the postseason 5-0, including a first-round sweep of the Indiana Pacers.
— Josiah Johnson May 7, 2019 Kyrie Irving after Game 3: “ I don't think you'll see another 8 for 22.”— Cameron Wolfe May 7, 2019 The good news for both Irving and Celtics fans is that the series against Milwaukee is not over, giving the six-time all-star a chance to lead his team to glory and win back some hearts and minds in Boston.
Attendees at Boston’s arena were far from the only ones expressing their displeasure. Amid the postgame grumbling at Celtics Blog, where it was widely noted that Irving was injured last year when the young team went on an unexpectedly deep playoff run, one fan went so far as to wonder if the guard was “throwing this series."
