Kyrie Irving Controversy Is Must Watch TV

On the last play of the Celtics game against the Magic, Gordon Hayward passed the ball to Tatum for a buzzer beating miss from mid-range. Kyrie Irving immediately starting yelling at Hayward about the play. Apparently Kyrie wanted to have the ball go to Al Horford, so he can set a pick for Irving to hand him the ball and get the last shot. It's a great play to do, expect for the fact that there was only 2.9 seconds left one the clock. According to Adam Himmelsbach, after the game Kyrie was just sitting at his locker, just looking forward. He didn't even shower yet, while most of the other players on the team were dressed and already have left.

Kyrie was interviewed about the up-and-down season the Celtics are having currently, he said that "the young guys don't know what it takes to be a championship-level team. And if they think it is hard now, what do they think it will be like when we're trying to get to the finals?' Irving's voice should carry more weight than others in the locker room, due to him being the superstar player, but the question is if the Celtic players are sick of him? Last season without Irving and Hayward the young Celtic's team made it within a few minutes of the finals, and now this year they are currently 5th in the East with a record of 26-18. Some of the Celtic's young players have to be saying to themselves that he's getting annoying, they did great without him last season, but this season they are doing way below expectations.

Some of the younger players are taking Irving's comments better than others. Jaylen Brown was asked about Irvings comments the next game against the Nets, he said "we gotta be more accountable as a group. It's not one guy's fault, it's not young guys, old guys faults, it's everybody. There's been a lot of speculation about whether or not this was a jab at Irving. I believe it was a huge jab at him, Irving should've keep the comments within the team but there's a bigger issue here.

THE CELTICS ARE SLOWLY FALLING APART! Now everyone on the team isn't fighting but there's more and more fights everyday. This season the Celtics were playing the Heat on national tv, and Jaylen Brown and Marcus Morris had to separated due to a heated argument during a timeout. Everyone isn't happy with their reduced roles on the team and everyone isn't happy with each other. I suggest the Celtics trade Brown this season because he seems to be the most visibly upset. He has already thrown jabs at Kyrie and got into a heated fight with Morris, it's almost like he's forcing his way out of Boston.

After the Celtics lost to the Magic, Irving actually called LeBron to apologize. He was apologizing for being young and not seeing the bigger photo.LeBron was reportedly at dinner with Kevin Love during the phone call, how crazy is that! LeBron and Kyrie both have the same issue now, both are trying to lead young players and teams into the playoffs. They will probably grow into a strong friendship, maybe we will see a LeBron, Kyrie banana boat photo.

Kyrie just wants to win, Bill Simmons has said that people in the Celtics organization said that Irving has matched the intensity of Kevin Garnett. Irving just wants to win, he is a championships caliber player and has hit one of the biggest shots in finals history. Irving knows how to win, the only problem he faces is how to be a leader. If he can successfully become a leader, there is not telling where the Celtics could go this season.
