To say that Kyrie Irving is tired of all the trash talk would be a massive understatement after Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. The Brooklyn Nets guard was visibly frustrated with all the noise from fans throughout the game.
After the heartbreaking loss, Kyrie Irving still had to hear it from one fan while heading to the locker room. The Nets star didn't take it sitting down, dishing a two-word clap back of his own to the fan who said “Kyrie, you suck!”

Hard to say that Kyrie Irving “sucked” given that he scored a game-high 39 points to go along with five rebounds and six assists. He shot 12-for-20 from the field and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc while also going a perfect 9-for-9 from the free-throw line. Anyone who watched the game knows he played well.
But that won't stop Celtics fans from pouring on the vitriol towards their former player. Kyrie was seen making unseemly gestures towards fans during live play. After the game, the Nets star spoke candidly about the animosity he shared with the crowd throughout the contest.
“It’s not every fan I don’t want to attack every Boston fan but when people start yelling ‘p—y’ or ‘b–ch’ and ‘f–k you’…there’s only but so much you can take as a competitor. We’re the ones expected to be docile and be humble, take a humble approach, nah f–k that, it’s the playoffs,” the Nets star said after the game.
Nets-Celtics Game 1 was undoubtedly the most exciting game of the playoffs thus far. There's definitely going to be more where that came from.
