The relationship between the Nets point guard and TD Garden has been bad since the Massachusetts franchise left for New York in 2019.
Kyrie Irving is the top scorer in the duel between Celtics and Nets in the first playoff game. The Brooklyn player finished with 39 points, but his performance was overshadowed by his relations with the local public and the conversion of Jayson Tatum to the buzzer that gave the Celtics victory.
“The same strength they have against me, I will have against them”said Kyrie Irving at the post-match press conference.
And I added: “Look, where I come from, this is typical, and I’m used to having people around. It’s not new for me to go here and I know what I’m looking for. I don’t want to respond or attack. Every fan. When you start people shout like gay or beggar or bastard, all of these things, there’s a limit to how fit you can be as an opponent. We’re expected to be gentle and humble, but fuck this. It’s the playoffs and that’s the way it is. “
Boston and Irving fans have had a bad relationship since the Nets point guard left the Massachusetts franchise for New York in 2019. Several stages fueled the rivalry, with Irving stepping on the Celtics logo and taking a bottle from the stands, and accusing Boston fans of being “poorly racist.”
The player said he believes it’s fair to get back the insults he receives from the stands the same way and it’s not the first time he’s done it, only now, because it’s a big game, he has more looking at him.
The last time he was fined for a similar attitude was worth 15 thousand dollars. Kyrie Irving was fined $ 25,000 for insult similar to the one she gave to the fan on her return to the locker room at halftime.
