Kyrie Irving and the city of Boston have a complicated history, in the same way that the
Hatfields and the McCoys have a complicated history. Boston Celtics fans hate that Kyrie Irving was on the team, and mad that he left for the Brooklyn Nets, and mad that he stepped on a drawing of a leprechaun, and mad that he got Jaylen Brown in trouble. So they are going to yell at him hard!
The other rivalry game on ESPN this Wednesday night is a battle with less history, but deep commercial stakes.
