Who is he calling "y'all"?

He's not wrong, he did bring a title here, and most fans who heckle are assholes who wouldn't say that shit to someone's face otherwise.

Then again, hasn't he avoided playing here since he left? Always had an injury or something?

Much ado about nothing but will get blown into a big story/talk piece.

If that's what he said in a pregame interview or in response to a first smattering of boos, than that's one thing and probably worthy of some legit criticism.

A fair amount of heckling is a fans right. But it is absolutely the athletes right to respond to heckling with some trash talk of their own. Jordan did it, Bird did it, so on and so on.

Whether you love or hate Kyrie, it's really not a big deal. These back and forth have been part of the live game experience for decades but now because of phones and social media, it's coming into the discussion realm of people who weren't at the game, people who aren't even Cavs fans, etc.

Kyrie pretends to be above it all. He really isn't.

 

[CavsKermit]

Kyrie goes out of his way to say and/or do offensive/provocative things and then complains when people get offended. If you want to be that guy, then own being that guy.

Spicy take but im fine with players jawing back to fans who heckle. Most fans aren't as bad as the idiots in Utah, but players are still people. No harm no foul

Oh please. Dude wanted out, heck, wanted out after the title!! Then made a big case about Boston being a better sports town (where he also eventually left).

He could have gone down as the new Mr. Cavalier, the guy who hit the shot but he was too big for Cleveland, chaffed at being with LeBron who he knew was leaving in a couple of seasons anyway.. I mean, how does he expect to be received?

He played the game Gordon Hayward broke his ankle off, at least.

 

[B Mac]

Im in the group that has no problem with Kyrie jawing back. He didn’t even say anything bad.

Now if we want to talk about my opinion on the way he left and pretty much everything since? Complete clown. But this? Zero complaints.

No liking at all for Kyrie. Despise the asshole. He’s everything that is wrong with sports- pompous ignorant fool who thinks he’s more than an entertainer.
He should never be well received here- not anywhere for that matter. F him.

Waking up early to drive across Pennsylvania line to get Cavs -2 before heading into office, as they’ll be -5 by the time I get done. And it doesn’t feel degenerate or silly. It’s felt like I’m leaving a lot of free money on the table if I don’t. Caruso coming back will help, but can’t see them beating us so short handed.

 

[PIP]

I’m always Team Kyrie.

Kyrie is speaking his truth. LeBron is an asshole.

Well Garland has to be ON… If Garland has a poor game for whatever reason there’s really nothing else in addition to him that will put the Cavs over the top…

So the Bulls rotation will look something like

Coby White
Alex Caruso
Derozan
Tyler Cook
Vucevic
Ayo D.
Troy Brown Jr
Tony Bradley
Alfonso McKinnie

No way we should lose. Sick Okoro on Derozen and let him make DD's life miserable.

Bulls are incredibly deep to have two key starters and several important reserves out and still be able to roll out this lineup. Incredible job of team construction

On Kyrie, it just seemed like some dumb LeBron-related comment that he just happened to hear in the crowd. So the response was like "meh". I feel like the moment to be mad at him for "Cavs" related reasons has passed, plus he's not wearing a Celtics uniform anymore.

On a night where he finally came here to play after ducking it so often, getting shut out late by Okoro... all I can do is LOL
