NBA Twitter Went To Work After Celtics’ End Of The Season About Kyrie Likely Leaving The Team
Last year’s Boston Celtics had been one of the biggest success stories of the 2017-18 NBA season.
A young team that lost both their All Stars, Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving ,who both underwent season-ending surgeries, made the Conference Finals nontheless. Boston’s young core (Tatum, Brown, Rozier) played brilliantly and made the fans almost forget about Irving and Hayward.
This season, with the two stars healthy and playing again, everyone expected the Celtics to be the East’s top dog and a contender. But in reality, the team was struggling all year long. Last night, their underwhelming season came to an early end, after they lost Game 5 against the Bucks and therefore the series with 4 games to 1.
The Celtics were especially bad last night and it seems like the front office will be having a busy summer. The team’s star player, Kyrie Irving in the mean time, seems to have played his last game for the franchise, and NBA Twitter went to work.
