BOSTON – The Kyrie Irving experience in Boston has been bumpy. Last October, Irving pledged allegiance to the Celtics, publicly declaring an intention to re-sign this offseason. Since then Irving has backtracked (sort of), called out his younger teammates and seemed frustrated in his leadership role, all while outside forces seemed to be conspiring to poison Irving’s relationship with the team.
Or did you forget about the sudden concern Anthony Davis’s father had with the way the Celtics treated Isaiah Thomas?
It makes you wonder—was this pairing meant to be?
