As Boston Celtics supporters chant “Kyrie Sucks,” it seems like Kyrie Irving continues to be a fresh wound for his former team with his chant video viral
Kyrie and the Nets had a day to forget.
To take on the Boston Celtics, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets flew to Boston. Since Kyrie and the Celtics have a history, this was anticipated to be an entertaining game. After Kyrie departed the Celtics for the Nets, the fans of the team weren’t afraid to express their sentiments. At the TD Garden, the situation was completely out of control. At every Boston game, the crowd was raucous and energetic, especially when Kyrie received the ball.
The Celtics easily defeated Kyrie Irving and the Nets, who only managed to score 16 points in the opening frame. The Celtics had the largest advantage of the evening, which was close to 50 points. Kyrie was met with hostility, but he still managed to score 20 points against the Celtics. Fans of the Boston Celtics were observed walking over on a Celtics jersey with the name Kyrie even before the game began.

The final score was 139-96, with the Celtics holding a lead of at least 30 points the entire time. Kyrie Sucks! erupted from the Boston fans with 7 seconds left on the clock. No wonder Kyrie was only able to score 20 for the evening. Kyrie Irving was completely despised by the crowd, who didn’t spare him at all.

Kyrie handled the irate crowd beautifully.
Although the audience was hostile, Kyrie Irving handled it with maturity befitting an eight-time NBA All-Star. The Boston supporters’ sole objective tonight was to continuously annoy Kyrie, and they certainly succeeded in this. The Celtics, led by Jayson Tatum, have the best record in the East with a 37-15 mark. On the other side, if the Nets continue in this pattern, they are just two losses away from falling to fifth place in the league.
Why do Boston Celtics supporters hate Kyrie Irving so much?
Kyrie Irving joined the Brooklyn Nets four years after leaving the Boston Celtics. However, the Celtics supporters in some manner despise him for the actions he took while playing for the team. The 30-year-old is met with animosity each time he enters the TD Garden. Kyrie Irving is welcomed in this fashion for a reason. The death of Kyrie Irving’s grandfather was one of the factors that led to his departure from the Boston Celtics.

Kyrie claimed that the Celtics had a “lack of experience” throughout his tenure with the team from 2017 to 2019. Before he even joined them, these were the same players who consistently guided the Celtics to the playoffs. The Celtics’ supporters hate the fact that he frequently placed blame elsewhere and abandoned responsibility for his conduct. They view him as an egotistical player who never showed any interest in the team.
The icing on the cake would be if he had declined to agree to a contract extension with the Celtics. In order to create a super squad with Kevin Durant, he instead opted to sign with the Brooklyn Nets.
