Boston Celtics chanted against Kyrie Irving

As the Boston Celtics completed the sweep of the Indiana Pacers, they booked their ticket to the NBA Finals. In all likelihood, they will face the Dallas Mavericks after they are one game away from confirming their birth. This brought out a certain chant from the Celtics fans targeting Kyrie Irving. Basketball fans came out in hordes to warn the Celtics fans from doing something that might bite them back.

As game 4 was in Indiana, the Boston Celtics fans were watching on giant screens erected outside The TD Garden. They watched with the passion only die-hard fans have. Which is why as soon as the final buzzer sounded, they started cheering and chanting, “F*ck Kyrie.” Before this, the Celtics fans directed this NSFW chant at teams as a whole. But this time, knowing the potential matchup, they had to direct it at their former leader.

Kyrie Irving came to Boston after winning an NBA title. He wanted to be the leader of his own team and left the Cleveland Cavaliers to walk out of LeBron James’ shadow. He came to lead a team to an NBA title. However, two seasons and playoff disappointments later, Irving and the Celtics decided to part ways.

It seems, the Boston Celtics fans are still salty somewhere about that exit. Their team gave up a lot to bring Irving in. Instead of leading them to a title, he is now likely bringing another team to contend against them in the NBA Finals.
