Kyrie Irving is one of the best point guards in the league and is a player any team would like to have on their side. For the Celtics to enjoy any success against a dominant team like the Bucks, they will need Irving to be at his absolute best on the offensive end.

However, that has not happened as he shot 19-for-62 from the field in the last three games, including his last night's performance, and has been completely shut down by the Bucks' defense. Credit to the Bucks ad they are doing a great job of not leaving Kyrie open or make it any easier for him as they know that the Celtics' offense thrives through the 27-year-old.

For the Celtics to turnaround things in Game 5, Kyrie needs to do something magical or this series will end in five games.
