Kyrie Irving says he hopes return to Boston won't include "belligerence, "racism" or "yelling" from crowd

It was only a matter of time before Kyrie Irving said something to the media this series that would take the focus off of the play on the court. That came tonight when as Gary Washburn, writes, "Kyrie Irving fans the flames with bombshell before return to Boston."

‘Hopefully, we can just keep it strictly basketball. ... There’s no belligerence or racism going on, subtle racism, and people yelling [expletive] from the crowd. Even if it is, it’s part of the nature of the game and we’re just going to focus on what we can control.
