I'm from Worcester, MA and live in Manchester, NH. A true New England Native at heart, I love the Celtics. I've always loved them. It warmed my heart that the Celts let Paul Pierce come back to retire a Celtic and I have great news again now! Kyrie Irving had been traded to the Celtics, but because of a physical on Isaiah Thomas showing he was injured, rumors were beginning to point to the deal potentially falling through unless the pot was sweetened. I heard some crazy things the Cavs were asking for that would have hurt our team a lot, but in the end they were able to get the trade just by passing a 2nd round pick for 2020 to the Cavs in addition to the original trade.
I AM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY THAT KYRIE IS GOING TO BE A CELTIC
Kyrie has been one of my top 3 favorite players, if not my favorite, for the last few years. He has the unequivocal best handles in the NBA (and yes, better handles than Curry) and he is one of the clutchest players I have seen in a long time, which will be a priceless asset come the playoffs which we will 100% get to with Kyrie. I am predicting another Cavs/Celtics conference final unless they face before the conference finals. Because I'm a Celtics fan and Kyrie is one of my favorite players, this is a dream come true. He is a true superstar and he is really going to show that now that he doesn't have to take the secondary role to Lebron James. It wouldn't surprise me if this was Kyrie Irving's greatest season yet with regard to statistics.
I think it is POSSIBLE we could go to the finals; that being said, the cavs are tough (and may be getting some more great players to become a super team like the Golden State Warriors) and we will see! Fingers Crossed!
KYRIE.... WELCOME TO THE CELTICS BUDDY!!! I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING MY FIRST LIVE CELTICS GAME THIS YEAR WITH YOU ON THE TEAM!
