Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving has been asked all year about the Cleveland Cavaliers which should come as no surprise as that's where he spent the first six years of his career.

So when the Cavs made a flurry of moves hours before the trade deadline — most prominent of which was trading Isaiah Thomas, the guy Kyrie Irving was virtually traded for — reporters asked him for comments on his former team's trades.

With a little smirk, his only response was “I'm in Boston.”

Irving really hasn't answered many questions about LeBron James or the Cavs this year, trying to focus on his new team. But with a big game against the Cavs coming up this weekend, he should get ready for a slew of questions from media members of both cities.

The showdown on Sunday afternoon is a huge game for both teams. The Celtics will try to grow their lead on the Toronto Raptors who currently sit one game behind the Boston.

For the Cavaliers, they want to try and creep closer to the top of the standings, but they would also like to get some cushion for their third seed.

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Washington Wizards are tied right now for fourth place, only one game under the Cavaliers.

As far as James and Irving are concerned, though, they can probably expect some more questions next weekend as they are both part of Team LeBron for the All-Star game on Sunday night.

It will be interesting if at some point those two truthfully open up more about what exactly happened that made everything go south.
