Not saying I agree with the fan but this why very unnecessary from Kyrie


Can't be throwing stuff at players...but yeah, that's a lot more understandable than just throwing stuff because you don't like him.

Low class by Kyrie. If basketball players have memories like baseball players, Kyrie has a hard foul or 2 coming to him the next time he plays in Boston.

Yeah, I agree mostly.

At the same time though, if somebody is really going to let that bother them, they are looking for something to be mad at.

Not sure how disrespectful Kyrie was trying to be there, but that pretty subtle.

"not sure how disrespectful Kyrie was trying to be there"

Really? There are some things players shouldn't do. Like what Kyrie did to the Celtics logo. It classless, and yes disrespectful. Reminds me a little from back in the day when TO ran to midfield to celebrate on the Cowboys star after a TD and George Teague knocked him on his ass.

Well a hell of a lot of people are looking for something to be mad at right now, that is the mood that has been set in this country, by about everyone.

I agree partially and if anyone should be mad, it should have been the Celtics players who obviously didn't care much.

Kyrie was trying to be disrespectful though....that was pretty intentional but if anyone was to do something about it, should have been the Celtics players.

I don't get Kyrie though. What did the Boston franchise every do to him? He is the one who decided to walk in free agency. Boston actually wanted him back so that was just Kyrie being Kyrie.....hard guy to root for

Kellerman is making a great point.....the Nets issue is going to be defending the bigs in the EC.

Either Giannis or Embiid is going to present major problems......especially wen it's a halfcourt game and the pace slows down.....

No, nothing like TO. Nothing at all.

It was a very subtle tap. If he had called attention to it in any way before doing it, I might agree.

I am sure he was trying to stir the pot, not sure why. It was really a pretty lame thing to do. Either go all in like TO, or don’t do it.

I agree it was intentional. But like I said, also very subtle.

He is getting exactly what he wants when we talk about it.

I wouldn't call it all that subtle, but agree it wasn't as blatant as T.O.

In it's own way though, it could be seen as more disrespectful than what T.O. did in Dallas.

What he did looked like what someone does when they just stepped on a bug or in some dogshit and want to wipe it off their shoe.

He stepped on the logo, then drug his foot over it. That wasn't a subtle tap. And I mentioned TO because that was also disrespectful.

Since Kyrie is all about race and nothing else there was nothing subtle about it

What?

This has nothing at all to do with race.

And I am pretty sure the fan throwing the water bottle at him didn’t either.
Hope not
