Are The Celtics Truly Dead Without Kyrie Irving?

How could we forget Gordon Hayward’s gruesome injury during the first regular game of the 2017-2018 regular season? In many ways, that game foreshadowed a season full of injuries for the stars of the NBA. Most recently, the Celtics announced that point guard Kyrie Irving will miss the remainder of the NBA season, including the postseason. Irving finds himself among the likes of Kawhi Leonard, DeMarcus Cousins, Kristaps Porzingis, and Mike Conley.
