Kyrie is back in Boston, burning sage before the Nets face the Celtics:

Is Kyrie gonna read some horoscopes and tarot cards like your earthy crunchy ex-girlfriend after the game too?

I understand this probably comes off as sour grapes to anyone that hasn’t had to listen to Kyrie’s bizarre press conferences and media appearances on a daily basis (buckle up Nets fans), but I swear the Celtics dodged a bullet when this guy decided to skip town. I’m not a very religious or spiritual person so I’m not here to dump on anyone’s beliefs, but seriously what in the hell is Kyrie doing here? He is legit every girl I went to school with that uses crystals and what position the moon is in to guide their life decisions.

If there’s one thing I give credit for it’s for just not giving a shit how out to lunch you appear to be to just about everyone because this little act came just hours after Charles Barkley roasted Kyrie for his media act.

"Stop acting like you’re the smartest person in the world.”

Charles Barkley had some thoughts on Kyrie Irving's recent comments about the media.

As others on the internet have already pointed out, Barkley came dangerously close to “shut up and dribble” here, but that’s not what he’s saying. Speak your mind, say what you feel, but stop acting like the kid that talks down to everyone because he took Philosophy 101. Agree with Chuck or not, “you only went to college for six months” is a laugh out loud funny line.

The Nets better win 65 games this year and get off to a fast start because I’ve seen the media begin to circle when things are going poorly and Kyrie does not handle it well. Nothing like moving to the biggest media market in the world to help with that.
