He was magnificent. That should have been his answer. Giving the crowd a middle finger is what a 2-year old does.Honestly, I like Kyrie way more after yesterday. Flipping off the crowd and giving it right back was great. And he was magnificent on the court.

Wait why was Kidd so hated?Ah yes I forgot about Kidd. Nice call.
Tossup between A) getting hammered and wrapping his car around a telephone pole, and B) spousal abuse. I've always been a bit more bothered by the latter.Wait why was Kidd so hated?
I would also add, chanting “Wife Beater” while Kidd’s wife and kid were in the crowd wasn’t one of Boston fans’ best moments.Tossup between A) getting hammered and wrapping his car around a telephone pole, and B) spousal abuse. I've always been a bit more bothered by the latter.
Edit: man, I'm slow today, apparently. Also, the crash was after the time period in question, I believe. Whatever.
No, no it was not. I was at a few of those games and it was ugly.I would also add, chanting “Wife Beater” while Kidd’s wife and kid were in the crowd wasn’t one of Boston fans’ best moments.

Eh, I can do without the pearl clutching from the broadcast team. While that crew is awful in almost all aspects, I thought they handled it well by acknowledging it and moving on. The last thing we need is Breen having a Joe Buck "disgusting act!" moment.I found it amusing how Breen immediately talked about the taunting Kyrie gets from the crowd in excusing the middle finger. I'd have to assume another player would not get the same treatment from the announcing team for doing that. Or, a different announcing team would have laid into him.
I remember when Andrew Ference gave a gloved finger to the crowd in Montreal and it was an international incident. Different sport, but this is usually something that guys like Breen would get on their high horses about.
To be clear, I'm not personally offended and I agree with others that it made me like Kyrie a bit. Just observing.
I prefer my announcers not to give a fuck. "And for those of you in the viewing audience who dont know what that signal represents, Kyrie is saying 'fuck you' to the crowd." Would Breen just get fired on the spot?Eh, I can do without the pearl clutching from the broadcast team.

He also threw the lob that pretty much ended GH and GH wasn't even that open.I remember him scheduling his surgery for a deviated septum during an ECF elimination game
Give me Adrian Griffin over Kyrie, all day.I have more fond memories of Darren Daye.
Give me Greg ("pound for pound the least talented player in NBA history") Kite over Kyrie every day. At least Greg made a lefty hook in the Finals.Give me Adrian Griffin over Kyrie, all day.
We're through the looking glass!What about Mark Blount?
I remember disliking him greatly during the final season because he manufactured controversy witht he fans and media and blamed the young players for everything while trying to build himself up as some sort of great leader. Then he played his way out of town. There's no love - only hate.I honestly can't remember a single relevant Kyrie moment in Boston. I kind of remember him having a 40 point game and making a ton of threes once.
Yeah, that’s my recollection of Kyrie as well. The guy is just a world class phony who’s never at fault.I remember disliking him greatly during the final season because he manufactured controversy witht he fans and media and blamed the young players for everything while trying to build himself up as some sort of great leader.

He's a world class phony, but those things are the most human he's been. I can't stand his faux intellectual nonsense, but flipping off folks calling you a 'p***y' feels pretty organic to me.Yeah, that’s my recollection of Kyrie as well. The guy is just a world class phony who’s never at fault.
The middle finger thing and “suck my dick bitch” were both pretty classless but whatever. It’s made much worse when he plays the victim at every turn and talks about “moving on” and “love and togetherness” constantly.
the TNT crew talked about it.. Shaq just said he should have just beat up on the fan’s team.. don’t go out and go down to their level.. he also said to look at Bill Russell.. he had much worse said to him and he just went out and won. Kyrie isn’t the first player to be taunted.. but as usual Kyrie has made it all about him.I found it amusing how Breen immediately talked about the taunting Kyrie gets from the crowd in excusing the middle finger.

Yeah my hate of Kyrie has a hell of a lot more to do with who he is off the court than anything he did on the court. I hated his flat earth nonsense and had to really remind myself "laundry" when they traded for him. And then he just got progressively worse with how he handled the limelight in Boston. And the anti-vax nonsense this year is just the confirmation of everything you thought he was as a person. I root against him because he's an idiot using his platform to champion idiocy and with an infuriating self-righteousness at that.I remember disliking him greatly during the final season because he manufactured controversy witht he fans and media and blamed the young players for everything while trying to build himself up as some sort of great leader.

Philosopher King bullshit, trying to masquerade as graciousness.View: https://twitter.com/jaredweissnba/status/1516970869989457921?s=21&t=OLFkuVNB7if00U9LBF694Q
This seems like a comment you make after a series is over, no?
To thine own self be true.He's much better when he's giving negative energy out.
It seems like everything he says comes out sounding like a high school sophomore trying to sound edumacated in an essay, and then sending it thru Google translate through three different foreign languages before returning to English.Philosopher King bullshit, trying to masquerade as graciousness.
Much as his other bullshit tries to masquerade as deep thought.
So you were in the room with a tape recorder the first time I took acid?It's four dimensional chess, man. It's not linear. You need to open your mind to the universe. And bad karma only reduces your life force and puts your focus outside of yourself, when it really needs to be inside. Those guys aren't his enemy. The enemy is in the mirror and everywhere. And nowhere.
LOL. I have my own mushrooms experience, thank you very much. Believe in the trees.So you were in the room with a tape recorder the first time I took acid?
