Aesthetically I’m on board with this, but the whole thing seems to absolutely ruin his effectiveness in Boston, so you kinda need to keep it up until it doesn’t.

The guy was a giant PITA.

Danny not dealing Kyrie, after the entire NBA knew he was walking, rubbed me the wrong way.

Especially after the previous season's run

I think the best move would be to never boo him again. Maybe give him a standing O when he comes back next year (a la Mo Rivera) then ignore him.
I think this is the correct move. You only see him what, once a year anyway? Relentless cheering would be the most funny.

5-16 last night. He made a couple of great shots, for sure, but overall pretty much stunk it up. I was also quite surprised he was over congratulating the Celtics well before the game was over. There's time to do that later, wait your turn.

Mazzulla seemed to want nothing to do with him being on the Celtics sideline at that time.

They should bring it back for Fenway, just not sure if for MFY series or Rangers series.

I’m fine with the taunting, but “player/team Sucks!” chants are lazy. At least find something new or creative.

Kyrie in his postgame presser: "I enjoyed this journey more than any other season just because of the redemption arc and being able to learn as much as I did."

Retire or double down?

Fuck that. His hug show with 2:30 to play was one of the most narcissistic displays I've ever seen. That was disgusting. Fuck Kyrie forever. It is always about him.

Kyrie sucks.

He actually said that?? Isn’t that like giving yourself a nickname. You don’t get to call something a redemption arc. That’s for other people to characterize or decide.

I was annoyed by the chants, it seems to me that American fans are terrible at chants.

just off the top of my head:
"We all hate you!" *clap-clap-clapclapclap*
"Earth is round! Earth is round! Earth is round!"
"Asssssshole"

All would have been better

That's because he read my "this is performative bs" post in the gamethread just before Kyrie sauntered over.

"Sha-lom Kyrie . . .*clap-clap-clapclapclap*"

That could, like "the Earth is round," force the announcers to remind viewers of the person inside the uniform.

It would be funny if everyone cheered for him and when the fans were asked why, they would say, "Well he played so bad in last year's Finals, it was almost like he was on our team."

Next time the crowd should start with "Thank You Ky-Rie" before segueing back into Kyrie Sucks but that's really picky.
