Kyrie Irving has now been in Brooklyn longer than he was in Boston. That doesn’t tell the whole story.
Celtic fans think he robbed them, then literally rubbed it in when he (gasp!) stomped on the Lucky logo at TD Garden center court. One of them threw a water bottle at Irving’s head. And oh yeah, he noted the racist tinge to it all. The rivalry now moves on its next stage, the Eastern Conference match-up Sunday in Boston.
In talking to the media Friday, Irving said he’d like to put it all past him, focus on the game.
