Kyrie Irving shared his reaction to the Boston Celtics' hostile crowd after the Dallas Mavericks' Game 1 loss in the NBA Finals, along with potential adjustments.
. One of the storylines was the continued disdain the TD Garden crowd holds for Irving, often chanting "Kyrie sucks!"
Irving did acknowledge that when he faced the Celtics in the earlier stages of his NBA career, there was a different circumstance with him not being one of the veteran leaders of the team. There's a different responsibility now with him being in that role of needing to settle the group into the game.
"I thought it was going to be a little louder in here but I'm expecting the same things going into Game 2," Irving said. "Crowd trying to get me out of my element, my teammates out of my element." The Mavericks' offense struggled as a collective, finishing with only 89 points and recording nine assists on the night. Irving gave the Celtics' tough on-ball defenders credit for holding their own and allowing Boston to stay home on shooters. He understands he needs to be better making decisions on the catch and controlling the situation in Game 2.
