The chants were not surprising considering Boston’s relationship with Irving. The fans even burned Irving’s doll at the start of the series. Considering his below-par performance, Irving has no choice but to take all the criticism for being on the losing side.

Veteran announcer Mike Breen called out the ‘disgrace’ Boston fans

The “Kyrie Sucks” chats started in the first half which were motivated by Irving’s fall. In the second quarter, the Mavericks guard was doing his best to score for his team. In the closing minutes of the first half, Derrick White lost the ball and Irving chased it in order to get the possession.

However, the star lost control and fell near the broadcasting table and onto the courtside fans. As Irving was getting up the fan shared a few words with the player which were revealed by the announcer present at the table Mike Breen. The ESPN veteran called the conversation ‘inappropriate’ during the broadcast. 

Irving was upset. I couldn't see who it was but somebody said something to him, inappropriate while the guy's down on the floor, which is a disgrace.

It is yet unknown what the fan actually said to Irving but the netizens suspected the words being ‘racial slurs’. The actual chat might stay a mystery but the viewers were certainly not happy with the exchange. It is safe to say that the Celtics fans did not leave Irving alone at all in the game.
