?Gonna See Yourself Out the 1st Round Again?: Kyrie Irving?s Stern 5-Word Warning to Celtics Calls for Mayhem Among NBA Fans

The NBA off-season became a ride from hell for the Brooklyn Nets. However, that wasn’t always the case. At the beginning of the season, the franchise ranked as one of the favorites to win it all. With three MVP-caliber players on their roster, Brooklyn seemed secured. But what followed was arguably a mediocre season. And Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving could only make it as far as the first round of the playoffs, where they met the Boston Celtics.

Despite losing James Harden and Irving’s absence, Durant was able to power Brooklyn into a play-in berth. And that’s where the dominance of KAI and KD was on display. Making short work on the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Nets had booked a ticket to the playoffs. However, that would also be the ticket to an eventual rollercoaster. The Boston Celtics exposed Brooklyn’s star duo after sweeping them in the very first round.

Addressing the loss for the first time, Irving believes it was meant to happen. However, the seven-time All-Star is also confident to even the score with his ex-franchise.

Kyrie Irving eyes revenge against the Boston Celtics

Kai and the Celtics undoubtedly have a fair share of history between them. Notably, the former number one overall pick had a run with the reigning NBA Finalists before joining Kevin Durant. While it was attached with early playoff exits, Irving made a promise to return to Boston. However, the very next off-season he chose to partner up with his superstar teammate in Brooklyn. Likewise, the hate among the Celtics fanbase had started to set in.

Every battle against his former franchise since has arguably been volatile. The fans refuse to hold back, and this year’s playoffs wrote the same story. Kyrie Irving even flashed the finger at Celtics fans during the series. Now, months after being the only team to get swept, KAI seems ready for vengeance. The former NBA champion said: “We needed that humbling experience, especially going against the Celtics. It was already built to be that matchup. We gonna see them again. We gonna have to. They?re gonna be where they gonna be.??

Boston Celtics fans didn’t take to his notion lightly. Likewise, they launched an attack on their ex-point guard.

Here are some of the reactions on NBA Twitter:

After the Nets’ off-season scare, their star duo is ready to be back in business. Last season, Irving couldn’t be a regular part of the roster and was part of just 29 games. Likewise, the chemistry of the squad was never in place. However, now both Kevin Durant and KAI are all set for the entire season. While there was drama, to begin with, this could be the final season of his superstar duo in Brooklyn. While their response to the animosity remains unknown, Brooklyn Nets fans will hope Irving can deliver on his promise.
