In Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving shot an airball that was way off the mark.

The Celtics All-Star entered the game shooting just 36.9 percent from the field and 24.8 percent from the 3-point line for the series. These statistics show how much of a struggle it has been for him against the Bucks. It seems that the Mike Budenholzer-led squad has figured out a way to stop him. Irving, for his part, hasn't thought of an effective way to counter the defense.

For Irving fans, it's unusual to see him struggling this bad. Is there something wrong? Is he nursing an undisclosed injury? Or are the Bucks simply doing an excellent job at containing one of the best offensive talents that have ever graced the NBA?

Either way, Irving has to find his mojo as soon as possible. He knows that he cannot afford to shoot up airballs and miss layups anymore. It's playoff time where either you win or go home. If he wants to prove he can carry his own team, then the first task is swish the net.
