The championship is taking a whole new turn with every game this year. After losing to the Phoenix Suns 121–110, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were the top favorite team, were eliminated from playoff contention. It was evident on social media how disappointed the fans were, and now they have been dealt another blow when their second most favorable Kyrie Irving’s team to win the championship has also suffered a setback.

Following the tough road of recovering from injuries and lacking players, the Brooklyn Nets are swept in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA playoff series by the Boston Celtics. In the aftermath, we can see the disappointment that is spreading over the internet regarding Kyrie and Kevin Durant‘s performance.

In particular, Kyrie is getting over all his injuries and has been missing quite a few games. Based on the reactions of fans, we can tell that this is a topic that continues to surface on Twitter. Even though he gave it his best shot in the last half of the season. Because of the timing and his absence, it didn’t make a difference to the team’s record.

For all the NBA fans, the Nets were the center of attraction. We can see that fans are questioning the point guard’s skill without LeBron James at his side. Twitter fumed over a controversial take by James fans on a “fraudulent” Kyrie.

Does Kyrie Irving’s performance continue to deteriorate?

If we look at some of Irving’s performances over the last few seasons, especially during the playoffs, he hasn’t been very good. The quality of his play has gone down since he last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016-17.

According to the records, Kyrie and James were a pretty strong duo at that time, as they had a great playing performance together. James fans are expressing their concerns, especially regarding Kyrie’s situation, even stating that: “Kyrie’s Career Without LeBron Is Like KD’s Career Without Steph”.
