Isaiah lookin' like fool's gold....
it wasn't.
You gotta love IT talk about the lack of effort on defense when he's been the worst defensive player for the past three years....... And,then want to talk about the lack of ball movement,when it's him who fucks up the flow

His defense was shitty in Boston and they worked hard in hiding that dudes flaws.
His career is hanging by a thread and he barely realize it.
That midget didn't even try to play defense just now,but hollering about defensive effort...
Love him or hate him... Dude was a fucking PROPHET with this one right here!!!
Remember that hoopla about this knee grown threatening to get knee surgery if the Cavs didn't trade him:
"The Celtics announced on Friday that Kyrie Irving will undergo a minimally invasive procedure on Saturday to alleviate irritation in his left knee.
The Celtics press release adds that "further information will be provided following [Saturday’s] procedure, and the team will have no further comment until that time." Irving had already been ruled out of the team's four-game road trip, which begins Friday and concludes next Wednesday. While waiting for another update, we have to assume that this procedure means he'll be sidelined longer than just a week."

LeBron James says he called Cavaliers to ask them not to trade Kyrie Irving

Well, that’s that, then.

There’s been plenty of speculation that LeBron James had communicated to the Cleveland Cavaliers that he didn’t want the team to trade Kyrie Irving. James finally confirmed that in a discussion with Rachel Nichols.
Via ESPN:
It has been widely reported that James was against the Cavs’ decision to acquiesce to Kyrie Irving’s trade request. For the first time publicly, James told Nichols that he did call management to ask them not to trade Irving.
”Even if you start back to the summertime where I felt like it was just bad for our franchise just to be able to trade away our superstar point guard,” James said. “A guy that I had been in so many battles with over the last three years and obviously I wasn’t a part of the communications and know exactly what went on between the two sides. But I just felt like it was bad timing for our team.”
This isn’t ultimately particularly groundbreaking, but it is the first time James has acknowledged publicly that he didn’t want the team to trade the All-Star point guard that hit the championship-winning three in the 2016 NBA Finals.
It is interesting to see that the Cavaliers have mostly taken such leaks on the chin. We know things were more tense than they appeared between LeBron and Kyrie (see: Jason Lloyd’s “fraternizing with the enemy” piece on Irving’s eventual departure) and that Irving was chafing at playing alongside such an all-encompassing star.
The Cavaliers gain nothing but protecting pride by mentioning LeBron’s role in the departure, but for such a dysfunctional organization that has so often failed at interpersonal politics, it’s been the right strategy to take. They certainly didn’t need to trade Irving, and James probably did call to tell them not to deal him, but the relationship wasn’t right, and we know that to be the case.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who caused what at the end. This is a messaging game and an ego game at this point, and the Cavaliers will have to play things perfectly if they want to keep the King in town.

Dan Gilbert states the Cavaliers wouldn't have made the NBA Finals without trading Kyrie Irving
The Cavaliers were not favoured to reach the NBA Finals this year after finishing the regular season with the fourth best record in the Eastern Conference.
They had undergone two huge roster changes from last year with their biggest change being when Irving told Cleveland he wanted to leave.
Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Ante Zizic were acquired in the deal but neither Thomas or Crowder worked out.
They were both shipped out in the February trade deadline with Derrick Rose, Channing Frye, Iman Shumpert, Dwayne Wade also leaving.

Cleveland traded Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics last summer
In came George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr as the Cavaliers improved but they still struggled to climb up the Eastern Conference standings.
However, in a series of tweets prior to Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and Warriors, Gilbert has spoken about how both James' excellence and trading Irving away in fact helped them reach the Finals.
He tweeted: "@cavs fans, despite multiple challenges, we have arrived at the NBA Finals for the 4th year in a row w/the opportunity to win our 2nd ring in 3 yrs.
"The biggest 3 reasons (among many) we are again here in Oakland a few minutes from the tip-off to Game 1 of the Finals are...

Dan Gilbert posted a series of tweets prior to Game 1 about the Cavs reaching the Finals
"1. LeBron James - No words describe his level of play & commitment to this game. His impact is magical. We go as he goes.
"2. The dedication & underlying belief of KLove, TT, JR , Korver, Green, G.Hill, Larry, Clarkson, Cedi, Ante, Perk & every other player on this roster
"3. Trade 1.0 last summer & Trade 2.0 at the deadline led by a humble, talented, young GM: Koby Altman.
"W/o either of these 2 bold moves orchestrated by Koby & the @cavs front office, we would not be here w/ a good chance to bring another one home to CLE. #WhateverItTakes

I may be wrong but let me go on record again to state that Kyrie will never win it again unless he's a reserve. He don't have that durability and that old seld-em-break pnut brittle and glass wheels he got isn't going to hold up to the pounding of a full NBA season. Kyrie if I'm wrong then get your revenge by winning it. I dare you. Uncle Drew is your real identity.
Kyrie will never see the play offs again.
Who??
Bizzump
Hmmm
Sign of maturity, but he fucked up a good thing. Hope it all works out for him.
Flat earth ninja all in his feelings.
Now that mfkr realizes he's not built to carry a team to the ships like LBJ, and that the Celts won't make it passed the 1st round. ..
It was time to have a long conversation with the man in the mirror and man up...
He owed Bron an apology and gave it to him. He was wrong ....
Now only if he would stfu about the Earth being flat.
