Kyrie Irving understands how he'll get received at TD Garden in the NBA Finals. It's a building he returns to in a far different place than when his last playoff series against the Celtics while with the Nets.
Kyrie Irving's final season in Boston was as exhausting as it was underwhelming. Welcoming back the eight-time All-Star and Gordon Hayward to a team that came one win from the NBA Finals without them turned into a burden, not a blessing., "We all had too many agendas, and the agenda to win the whole thing was not the main one."
When asked how he's grown from a season that started with promise, including his pledge to re-sign with Boston, ended on such a sour note, with the Celtics bounced from the playoffs in a 4-1 second-round defeat against the Bucks, Irving shared the following while speaking with reporters in Dallas as he prepares for his TD Garden return for the NBA Finals.
Many Celtics fans still hold Irving primarily responsible for that. While it seems healthier to let those feelings go, and perhaps seeing Boston best their archnemesis to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy would lead to that release, the Mavericks' star guard knows he's walking into a hostile environment on Thursday.
