Kyrie Irving reached his lowest point of the season last Saturday night in Orlando.  The Celtics dropped a 105-103 loss against the Magic and Jayson Tatum missed a potential game-tying shot before the buzzer, however, what stood out most from Saturday was Irving’s behavior on and off the court.

BROOKLYN — Kyrie Irving’s criticism of his team following the Celtics’ loss to the Magic Saturday struck a cord with one of his teammates.  Although he plans on never questioning his team ever again, Irving’s comments certainly resonated with Jaylen Brown, who alluded to what Irving had to say when he spoke to the media Monday night following a 109-102 loss to the Nets.

BROOKLYN – When Kyrie Irving requested a trade from Cleveland in 2017, he was sent to Boston – a place that most people considered was an ideal situation for him.  It not only gave him an opportunity to lead a team while being the focal point of the offense, but it was also a chance to mentor talented young up-and-coming players while competing for a title.

BROOKLYN – The Celtics will be thin in their back court when they take on the Nets Monday night in Brooklyn.  Coming off back-to-back losses in Miami and Orlando, Boston will look to grab its first and last win of its three-game road trip and will have to do it without Kyrie Irving (right quad) and Marcus Smart (illness). Irving, who said he suffered a right quad injury against the Magic Saturday night, is hopeful he will only miss one game and…

ORLANDO – Kyrie Irving wanted to have the final say in regulation of Saturday’s game against the Magic. With the game on the line, he couldn’t hide his emotions after Gordon Hayward made an inbound pass to Jayson Tatum for a game-tying fade away jump shot that bounced off the back of the rim as time expired.

The NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst broke down what has ailed the team during halftime of Thursday’s 115-99 loss in Miami that saw Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown briefly scuffle on the bench. “They’re not going to win the way they’re currently constructed,” Barkley said, per Boston.com. “I don’t know what type of team they are.

MIAMI – Kyrie Irving couldn’t shake off the frustration of Thursday night’s loss against the Heat minutes after the final buzzer. It bothered him so much that he figured the best thing for him to do was to get some shots up in an effort to lessen the pain of dropping a 16-point loss against the Heat.
