Kyrie Irving

As a Boston Celtics fan my heart dropped a little but yesterday after hearing the news that Kyrie Irving would be sidelined the rest of the season after having knee surgery to remove the screws located in it. This caused him to be out for 4-5 months thus ending his chances to come back for the playoffs. Although i am very saddened by the news as a Celtics fan because i wanted them to be able to compete deep into the playoffs this year i am not mad at the precautions that are being taken by the Celtics organization and Kyrie Irving. After the whole Isaiah Thomas issue that occurred around him not having the proper time to heal from his injury i think that had a great impact on the Celtics thoughts going through this process as well as Irving since he was able to see how the injury not being fully healed has impacted IT this season. I also like this decision to sit out and get better because odds are the Celtics wouldn't have mad that deep of a run in to the playoffs anyways especially with how the Raptors have been playing and then LeBron James has always caused problems for Boston in the past. I think that this season was a great success and i am happy with the way that the team played especially after turning around their roster from last year and losing Gordon Hayward during the first game. Now that Kyrie is done i hope that Boston loses in the first round of the playoffs so they will be able to get a better draft pick in this upcoming draft and make moves to either trade for a player or trade up in the draft and take one of promising big men/stretch forwards that are available this upcoming draft.
