Starting in the 2017-18 season Kyrie Irving was supposed to be Boston’s Guy, their point guard, their leader, their franchise face. The Guy who got ‘em a ring. Or two. Or many! It was supposed to be good.br br That was his goal after living in LeBron James shadow for too long in Cleveland. And that was Boston's goal because that's always a team's goal: Rings!br br Then when Jalyen Brown and Jayson Tatum emerged right away? Yeah.. sure looked like Kyrie's Celtics were gonna collect some hardware.br br But they did not. br br Instead... they got beef.
