Yet, while Celtics fans celebrated every half-court attempt, it would appear members of the Mavericks roster were growing frustrated. During a recent livestream with Jaylen Brown, former Celtics guard Kyrie Irving revealed that he?d considered throwing a punch at Pritchard during that series. ?We were going to halftime,? Irving said. ?I ain?t gonna lie to you, I thought about swinging. One time, just to see where he was at. I thought about swinging one time.?

Kyrie is such a tool.
If you watch the clip, I think its pretty clear hes jokingly saying those shots were so backbreaking and frustrating that they made him want to hit the guy.

Granted its Kyrie so maybe he genuinely felt Pritchard did something wrong haha.

I can't bring myself to watch that podcast, because I don't want to see JB interacting with that knucklehead.  I love JB the player, but I can't tolerate the antisemitic adjacent JB.

The Toronto Raptors were reportedly willing to part with RJ Barrett and the No. 9 pick in an aggressive pursuit of Jrue Holiday.

According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, who spoke with CLNS Media Boston Sports Network, Toronto is believed to have offered a package involving Barrett and the ninth overall pick to the Boston Celtics in an effort to acquire the veteran guard.

The deal reportedly focused on shedding Barrett & his $57.3 million contract over the next two years. Boston ultimately declined and chose to trade Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons, whose $27.7 million salary will expire at the end of the season.

That sounds very unlikely.  Raptors giving up the #9 to take on Holiday's larger 3-year contract to get rid of Barrett's 2-year contract doesn't make sense.  If that deal was on the table, Stevens/ownership screwed up not taking it.  Could have gotten Coward or Queen with #9.  Barrett would have been tradeable.
