People do get Kyrie has never lead a team without LeBron before right? How was that Cavs team with him before LeBron got there? And don’t give me the well Kyrie had nothing around him with that cavs team lol well what did LeBron have around him last year? Crap lol and he still lead that team to the finals, that’s what great players do and Kyrie has multiple all stars and all star caliber players around him right now

The comment section is littered with people who either didn’t watch the game or people salivating to hate on Kyrie. If you watched the game, he left the 1st quarter with a 1 point lead. By the time he subs back in (a little over the 6 minute mark) they are down 14. In that span, I believed the Celtics scored 1 point which came at the end of the 1st quarter from Hayward’s free throw. Yes, that means they scored 0 points until he came back in. But people who never watch the games in their entirety are always the ones who have an outlandish opinions about the team. Yes he could’ve played way better, but the whole team was underwhelming. Just avoid blaming Rozier, Morris, Brown, and Tatum for forcing dumb shots that lead to fastbreak after fastbreak, especially Rozier. Or Horford bricking wide open shot after wide open shot set up by Kyrie. Or the many turnovers by the bench unit in the 2nd. I’m done with the internet.

Most games I’ve seen the Celtics lose I’ve seen Kyrie messing up. Sometimes I see Tatum. A few times I see Hayward.

If Kyrie would go for 10 assist from opening jump 12 mins til he get subbed out @2 mins, he could light up for the rest of the game… Boston can beat anyone in a 7 game series if they sacrifice for each other..
Pierre Matthews-Martin

But some of them don’t wanna sacrifice for kyrie whole he has to for them, the team can’t shoot but they’d rather struggle then to give kyrie the shots that could keep them afloat

Kyrie is a iso player that doesn’t fit a motion offense. Ball dominate, ball stopper solo act!

SAS is really reluctant to criticize kyrie, he seems to prop kyrie to take shots at bron. SAS is kyrie personal fan boy and it’s very obvious that kyrie is a major problem in Boston. Slick hater move by SAS; we all see ya SAS!

If Bron scored 7 points in a game there would be an ESPN marathon asking if he is washed up and should retire from the NBA lmao KD missed free throws yesterday to take it to OT … when do we judge the ‘STARS” to the same level

If these players need all of these accommodations from Kyrie in order to succeed maybe they aren’t as good as people think they are. Role players need ball movement assassin’s don’t need it.
