If I were the Celtics, I'd sit Kyrie for this last game, and make a statement. He conducted himself like a punk, and that's not cool. Horrendous leader. His postgame comments were equally as stupid. i am no fan of the Celtics, but Danny needs to just cut his losses and move on. And it should start with next game. May light a fire under the rest of the team to play better.
I feel sorry for whoever signs Kyrie in the offseason. THe guy's knee is going to give in the next season or two, and he's no leader. He's a second option. Always Robin, not meant to be Batman. Would not surprise me in the least if he ended up back with Lebron in LA. The Nets don't want him, I don't think the Knicks want him (they are all in on Durant, and probably would prefer a second tier FA after Durant like Middleton or Harris), and I just don't see the market screaming for Kyrie except for those spots. The Clippers are too smart to even entertain the idea.
Clearly, given IT's injuries, Ainge made the correct move, but its time to just move on.
Hayward has gone through a traumatic injury, and I know it must be hard to trust your body, but dude has to perform like he did pre-injury. The Celtics need his aggressive moves to the cup. If he's not going to do it, sit him and put guys in who will.
Go Bucks, Go Raps, Go Blazers.
