Kyrie has to be one of the top clutch players in the game.
Raptors Fan: Irving must be one of the biggest hearted players in the league.
[–]Been Wavy07 69 points an hour ago
Most clutch in the game and has been for about 4 years now
is the most stable at critical moments, and it has been like this in the past four years.
[–]Raptors bigpenisdragonslayer 22 points an hour ago
ya he just never seems to miss when it's near the end of the game
Raptors fan: Yes, when the game is coming to an end, it feels like he can hardly hit the iron.

I have never seen someone perform in the clutch as consistently as Kyrie Irving
Clippers Fan: I have never seen any player performing at a critical moment as stable and coherent as Irving.
[–]Celtics Silktrocity 8 points 57 minutes ago
I wish I could perform clutch in the bedroom as well as Kyrie can in NBA games
Celtics Fan: I wish I could perform as good as Irving on the basketball court at critical moments in bed.

He really doesn't get the respect he deserves by fans. There's a reason all his peers talk so highly about him
He really doesn't get the respect that fans deserve. The players' high praise for him is not just a joke.
[–]Celtics phyllis-shlaffley 104 points an hour ago
It’s only people on reddit. Everyone else loves him and knows he’s a star, but people on here will nit pick every advanced stat to prove a player is bad. He’s 2nd in the east for all star votes too.
Celtics fan: Only people in this section do not respect him enough. Everyone else liked him very much and thought he was a superstar, but the fans here would only nitpicking with his high-level data, and delusionally argue that Irving was very poor. And his All-Star wins the second most vote in the East.
[–]sop1232 40 points an hour ago
True, I should have said this. His shoes, jersey do extremely well too. Reddit is just caught up on his "wokeness" and flat earth comments
Indeed, I said this too. His sneakers and jerseys are very good sales. The fans in this section specifically grasped his slip of the tongue and "Diping" and refused to let go.
[–]ckareddit 18 points an hour ago
His advanced stats are good though
But its advanced data is also very good.

May this game kill the notion that Kyrie is not a good playmaker
Brown Fans: I hope this game can slap those who say Irving's organizational skills are not good.
[–]Celtics BScottyJ 62 points an hour ago
May this game kill the notion that Horford is bad, that Hayward is bad, that Kyrie is bad, and that the Celtics are bad.
Celtics fans: I hope this game can slap people in the face those who say Horford is not good, Hayward is not good, Irving is not good, and Celtics are not good.
[–]Celtics rusty378 10 points 53 minutes ago
I'm so fucking done with all the Hayward haters
Celtics fan: I'm so fucking annoyed those who squirt Hayward.
[–][BOS] Marcus Smart DiseaseRidden 135 points 59 minutes ago*
Fucking 18 assistants. He was running everything, especially in the fourth.
Smart Fan: This is just 18 assists, he is in charge of everything, especially in the fourth quarter.
[–]Celtics clumsynoah 21 points 57 minutes ago
Unfortunately the 17th assist was not super meaningful because he had already locked the game up himself for 3 straight possessions.
Celtics fan: Unfortunately, the 17th assist was not particularly meaningful, because at that time he had locked the victory with three consecutive rounds of kills.

[–][BOS] Terry Rozier King_Of_Pants 35 points 56 minutes ago 3
First-half that was definitely an issue tbh. Second half he was on a whole different level.
Rozier Fan: His mistake in the first half was indeed a problem, but he was completely at a different level in the second half.
[–]Celtics FurryCrew 11 points 39 minutes ago
7 TOs to 18 assists is more than acceptable ratio.
Celtics fans: 7 turnovers and 18 assists are still very acceptable.

He's absolutely one of those guys who I just expect to make every single shot when we play him
Raptors fans: There are a few players who feel like they will score every goal when we play him
Raptors fans: There are a few players who feel like they will score every goal when we play him
Raptors fans: There are a few players who feel like they will score every goal when we play them, and Irving is definitely one of them.

that's okay. I think of ibaka the same way this season.
Celtics Fan: It's okay, I feel the same way I see Ibaka this season.
[–]Hornets Xhoquelin 22 points 54 minutes ago
Honestly I expect him to make everything every time I watch him play. Especially since he’s gone to the Celtics man
Hornets fan: To be honest, every time I watch him play, I hope he will score every goal, especially after he went to the Celtics.

Add these guys: Jeremy Lin, Joe Johnson, Rob Babcock, and of course, Kobe (aka. Jalen rose killer).
Raptors fans: count these people: Jeremy Lin, Johnson , Robert Barber Cork (pre-GM of Raptors, extremely bad reputation), and of course Kobe (AKAJaylen Rose Killer)

"The court is flat, world must be too baby"
-kyrie, probably
Celtics fan: "The court is flat, so the earth must be flat, dear" - Irving probably said that
[–]Supersonics LegitMarshmallow 10 points an hour ago
Maybe it's not that the earth is flat, but that the world is flat, and the court is Kyrie's world.
Supersonic fans: Maybe it's not that the earth is flat, but that the world is flat, because Irving's world is the stadium.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Raptors fan: The Celtics played well in this game. Don't tell lies, Celtics basically played perfectly in every offensive round today.
Siakam and Lowry scored 14 points together (actually 16 points). We cannot beat those strong teams based on this kind of rookie performance alone.
[–]Celtics Zeha93 14 points 53 minutes ago
You guys erased that 16 point lead like it was nothing. It left me baffled in the third. When your guys start hitting threes, it's just a nightmare..
Celtics fans: You guys effortlessly smoothed out our 16-point lead, which once made me very upset in the third quarter. When you start raining three points, that's a nightmare.
[–]Celtics CaptainGronk69 23 points an hour ago
The Raptors rely on Kawhii too much down the stretch
Celtics fan: The Raptors are too dependent on Leonard at critical moments.
[–]Raptors BESTNBAGOAT 226 points an hour ago
That Lowry off balance 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock when we were up by 4 is gonna haunt me... I won't understand that shot ever.
Well played to Boston, was a helluva game down the stretch. Home court will be everything in a potential playoff round.
Raptors fan: When we were leading by 4 points, Lowry made a strong three-pointer with 20 seconds of offense in that round, which would torture me... I really can't understand his choice.
Boston played really well and was very stable at critical moments. But in the playoffs, home advantage is everything.
[–]Raptors lilmulla1 12 points an hour ago
Especially since Tatum got a three right back on the other end...stupid play by Lowry
Raptors fan: Tatum followed by a counterattack 2+1... It's really stupid.
[–]Celtics ralphrackstraw 66 points 58 minutes ago
Lowry takes a lot of dumb shots in clutch situations from observation... Idk why he resorts to hero ball.
Celtics Fan: As far as I observed, Lowry often takes a little stupid move at critical moments...I don't know why he is so persistent in hero ball.
[–]Raptors BESTNBAGOAT 31 points 54 minutes ago
You have astute observation skills.
It's been a problem for a while but they're really lit when he makes them.
Raptors fan: You are really good at observing...
This problem has been a while, but when he hit that kind of ball, he still raises morale.
[–]Raptors smeg_ 21 points an hour ago
He was deferring the entire game, didn't do much offensively and thought he had a chance for a killshot. The only problem is the ball bounced off hard and Boston got an easy 3 points at the other end.
Lowry does this shit from time to time. He passes for an entire quarter, then tries to do too much
Raptors fan: Lowry was fascinated throughout the game and didn't contribute much on the offensive end. At that time, he probably felt that he had a chance to kill the game. The only problem is that the ball bounced too far, and Boston took the ball to a simple 2+1 draw.
Lowry occasionally has this kind of shit operation. He was passing the ball all quarter and then suddenly used too much force.
[–][BOS] Isaiah Thomas MyNeighborTorotot 15 points 55 minutes ago
Fr tho, that Lowry 3 was a godsend for us. Might've singlehandedly stopped Kawhi running rampant on our D. Also allowed Tatum to cap off his own 6-0 run.
Celtics Fan: But to be honest, Lowry is the rescuer who is given to us by heaven. Perhaps he had to curb Leonard's continuous damage to us by himself, and he also gave Tatum a 6-0 climax.

[–]MoonBoots69 21 points an hour ago
Kyle Lowry is good in the playoffs. You’re thinking of DeMar.
Lowry is still reliable in the playoffs, you are talking about DeRozan.

One of the best games of the year.
Kyrie and Kawhi in the 4th was a marvel to watch.
Celtics Fan: One of the best games of the year.
Irving and Leonard's confrontation in the fourth quarter was too satisfying.
[–]Celtics rajistheman69420 10 points an hour ago
It was a dogfight there for a stretch of about 6 minutes or so in the fourth too, crazy game
Celtics fans: There were nearly 6 minutes in the fourth quarter and the scores of both sides rose alternately, and this game was so exciting.
[–]Raptors chicogarciamamarquez 49 points an hour ago
The 3 Celtics raptors games have been good this season... There's gonna be like 8 more of these and my heart won't be as healthy
Raptors fan: The three games that the Celtics and the Raptors have played this season are wonderful... There will be eight more games this season, and my heart is afraid I can't stand it.
[–]Celtics fakercmn 9 points an hour ago
Hope to see this in ECF but we’re being trash this year so if we’re gonna face it would probably in the 2nd round
Celtics fan: I hope to meet you in the Eastern Conference Finals, but we’re very rubbish this season, so if we really want to meet, maybe it’s in the second round.
[–]Raptors The_Unknown98 133 points an hour ago
Homecourt is so important when these teams play. It's always a playoff atmosphere.

beat the good teams, lose to the bad teams, usually lose to the ok teams
Celtics fans: You can beat those strong teams and then lose to the bottom, those mediocre teams can also lose.
[–][BOS] Jayson Tatum JTAL2000 16 points an hour ago
At their best the Celtics are the best team in the East, it just depends on which Celtics team shows up; the one that convincingly beats top teams or the one that gets blown out against lottery teams
Tatum fans: The Celtics who are in shape are the best team in the East, which depends entirely on the Celtics participating in the game. They are either the Celtics that crush the powerful Celtics, or the Celtics who were beaten up by the Lotto team.

Damn Celtic fans really do have a mutual fear of that guy. He's the only thing keeping me from watching Bucks games this season. Every three he makes give me flashbacks..
Celtics Fan: Damn, it seems that Kaimi's fear of that man is really common. I don't watch the Bucks this season because of him. Every time he scored a three-pointer, he would reveal my scars...
