Had TWO iconic moments: the "It's quiet as f**k in here!" & The Bow.

[@coreyjohnson5346]

Exactly trae didn't do anything offensive toward fans to have them spit on him. So kyrie could simply let his game do the talking as well and those idiot fans will still do sick nonhuman like things. They say fans heckling is just part of the game, well I notice it's always the same type of fans, so maybe they don't know what it means to not be the center of attention and to sit like a normal human and to enjoy the game.

Excellent points, but some people...such BS rationalization for one's behavior. Contradicting themselves in a couple of sentences, then sarcastically calling out the press for the legitimate follow-up question and whining about the discipline a player must show but fans have license to do whatever they want. Want to know what REAL tough (and possibly dangerous) fandom is? Ask a Phillie outfielder on an average or woeful team back in the day, off the record, what they thought of their hometown support when their personal or team performance was not up to minimum "standards". Leave the batting helmet on when you take the field, lest you...

Shaq talking about what Russell, and all those guys went through was a good point, but we are not in those days, and will not return to it. The reason we are not in those days is because there was a movement/resistance to it during the struggle. We have to define some lines because if you don't, people will move the line and we'll be back in the 50s and 60s, at least verbally. Nope, You're not calling me just anything and get no feedback, no matter where it is. I don't think Shaq would respond favorably to someone coming up to him and calling him just anything.

KD played bad cuz we bodied him up all game long. We were physically imposing on him. If we allowed to keep playing that way hes gonna struggle this series. The Celtics defense is the reason he had a bad game. He didnt just miss open shots all game.

@@the406seadonkey6 Kyrie has been himself, and to people who are stuck in the corporate mindset of being a cog in a machine that would seem foolish. Im sure its engrained in you that anyone who shows individualism is a distraction, but thats just the team PR staff and the coaches who were fired shortly thereafter, brainwashing you. Where is Brad Stevens if Kyrie was the problem? What happened to the Cavs after Kyrie left? He could've helped, but to make him out to be a cancer is just showing how much you blame a guy for being himself. When that same individuality is what drives his style and his greatness, you and everyone else can uplift him. Im glad the vaccine thing happened, he showed with his actions that he isnt a diva, he believes what he says he is just different. That different is good for the game, and for the world.
