Who cares. This team isn't even close to sniffing a championship.

One of my most disappointing Celtics Playoff games I've EVER seen.

At this rate, I wouldn't fault Kyrie for leaving.

My Boston Celtics played like straight BUTT tonight.

I am an ardent GH supporter but Kyrie got ZERO help from him this series.

The quality of last year's Eastern Conference playoff field has been discussed several times on this forum and all over the Internet.

Let him walk. Just plays absolutely no defense.

[Banner18now!]

Let the narcissist fraud walk he showed his true colors here this year. Proved he is a number 2 who rode Lebron and now will ride his buddy Durant. Which is fine if he’s a number 2 but don’t drag the Celtics down with your garbage attitude all year and telling everyone how great you are. Can wait to hear some of the stories come out when he leaves.

Still sick?  Or maybe just maybe not the player this board generally seemed to think he was.

[cons]

He sucks. Bye.

Back when the east was weak, the 76ers were still in their immature stage, and LeBron was still in the conference.

[Chief Macho]

nah,  it was semi's fault.   

[LarBrd33]

the one bright spot of kyrie leaving is the pain it will cause all the kyrie haters when they realize how bad-to-mediocre we are without him.  Borderline playoff team next season.  Perpetual mediocrity awaits.

Kyrie's current play exemplifies a version not any rational person would have expected, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

[Banner18now!]

Wait he was sick again? Had to be because we were told we were going to see playoff Kyrie. I guess he is only playoff Kyrie when he has Lebron on the floor??

Horford could opt out and leave as well. Then they would just have to worry about offloading Hayward.

except it does.  This is what Kyrie does, he mystifies people with these fabulous games and then people just forget about the stinkers he has before those fabulous games.  Kyrie is an inconsistent shooter and does almost nothing else to help a team win basketball games, such that when his shot is off, his teams lose.  When he is on, he is unguardable and magic happens, but he just isn't on nearly enough to truly matter.
