#2 Disappointing end to Kyrie Irving's season

Irving was very poor in the series
Irving was very poor in the series

Kyrie Irving is a great individual talent. He is by far the best player on the Celtics team, but he has struggled to gel with his teammates. The Celtics play better without Irving in the lineup and it now looks as though he might just have played his last game in the Celtics uniform.

Kyrie finished this match with 15 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on a very inefficient 6-21 shooting display from the field and 1-7 shooting from the 3PT line.

Al Horford also struggled in this match. He finished with 9 points on 4-13 shooting from the field and 1-5 shooting from the 3PT line. Jayson Tatum, who starred in last year's playoffs, also struggled this season. He finished this match with 14 points on 3-10 shooting from the field.

The Celtics have a lot to ponder heading into the off-season.
