Let’s say the year is 2018, and Celtics just lost in Game 7 of the ECF...

If I told you then that same Celtics team would be adding Kyrie and Hayward to their roster next season, what would your predictions be for 2019?

They were expected to be the best team in the East yet they finished 49-33 and were even worse in the games Kyrie played (12-3 without him).

I am an Big Celtic fan and over 50+ years old.. having said that is there a reason you brought up the most disappointing season ever?? I barely got over that..

Yet all the players mentioned here still played in the playoffs last year

I suspect it is because we are being told daily how Kyrie Irving is much better than a top 25-30 all-time player.

Lol I rooted for the Celtics in that series against the Bucks... that team sucks!

[ImKobe]

Irving, Tatum & Hayward all sucked in the 2018 Playoffs. Looked like they all quit before the series even began tbh.

I predicted Finals appearance. Kyrie was pure cancer, but the others on the team are to blame as well. Tatum, Hayward and Jaylen all took steps backwards.

They all suddenly became much better as soon as Kyrie, left. The thing is the same thing happens in Brooklyn with players like LeVert. Can we blame the other players when the common denominator is Kyrie bringing them down?
