    Fact: Nobody except Brooklyn fans want to see Kyrie win another title. Respect him as a player on the court, not off it!

      I respect him off the court but has nothing to do with wanting him to win a championship or not.

    If Lebron was Kyries teammate instead of KD right now… they would be the favorite to win the title

      @Zico Money Kd couldn’t even beat the warriors with prime Westbrook. Guess who did. That’s right, Lebron and Kyrie

      Spot on. Smith has been tryna get a chug from Kyrie but never got one lmao. So as far as anyone believing he allowed the fans to live rent free in his head is amazing.

    One thing for sure, Kyrie is the only current NBA player that is closest to Kobe Bryant. Memba Mentality with that godlike skills.

    Kyrie with nothing in his stomach was one of the top 2 best players on the floor

    BS. Kyrie was affected by those fans. It definitely bothered him. He did miss shots an some were bricks. Also kyrie played hero ball and that’s why they lost.

    • Hansi Seymour

      April 18, 2022 at 2:49 pm

      Yeah it affected him if made him go harder 😂 dude embraces being the villain he dropped 39 on the potential dpoy

    • Devonte Wise

      April 18, 2022 at 2:50 pm

      He shot 60% from the field. They didn’t lose because of him they lost because of kd. Stop hating

    • SoloPAC

      April 18, 2022 at 3:12 pm

      Yep and KD ain’t shooting 9-24 again, Celtics need to watch out; they stole one yesterday and I don’t think it’s happening again

      Smart ain’t scoring 20pts or Harford ain’t scoring 20pts again, this was a nets feel out game to see how they’d approach KD and Kai; Nets in 5

    • makhabza ranamane

      April 18, 2022 at 9:47 pm

      @SoloPAC Nets are getting bounced out, Kyrie ain’t doing all that again. The Celtics best players are gonna keep it up cause the Nets simply can’t defend.

    When the Nets lose the series,all this talking won’t even matter🤣🤣🤣

    I think the KD needs to play off of kyrie this series instead of the other way around. Kyrie is on a mission

    • Wavy_ Godd

      April 18, 2022 at 3:35 pm

      Been saying this. He needs to play off of Kyrie and allow Kyrie to be the 1 option of today because the Celtics already know about how Durant is gonna roll. But Kyrie is EXTREMELY elusive and highly Unpredictable it’s baffling that the Celtics would allow Kevin Durant to do anything. They shouldn’t let up on him but if he plays off of Irving they can take the series no doubt in question.

    Islam, Power and Peace Kyrie.
    Use the Negative Energy you receive from any crowd as fuel. The same way you use Positive Energy, comments etc. to fuel you. This is the Hermetic Law of Polarity, there are extremes of the same Energy, learn to use them both (Positive and Negative Energies). It is all Energy. Do not react to the crowd, RESPOND in kind by crushing your opponent (respectfully); using the Negative or Positive Energies present. I love your spirit and courage, continue to stand on your laurels and principals.
