Nets’ Kyrie Irving calls out critics on Instagram after two ‘humble’ losses for Cavaliers

The debut of the big three of the Brooklyn Nets is not quite planned yet, as they dropped the rugby games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that possesses the third worst offense in the league. In the first loss to the Cavaliers, a game that lost double overtime, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden combined 96 points, but Brooklyn could not stop Cleveland on the other side of the floor. In the second game, Durant did not play and Irving and Harden were not enough to overcome a troublesome Cavs team led by Collin Sexton.

After the second loss to Cleveland, Irving said the 0-2 ride was “two humble losses” as Brooklyn took an crash course to realize it would take a while before this newly formed superteam hit its speed. However, Irving took to Instagram on Saturday morning to remind critics that the Nets are still a championship team.

“We’ll be on that stage. The stage where the best of the best come together. You know, the main stage. Where those who can do, and those who can not talk about those who do. If you roll with us, wonderful “Let us rock. If you are not, you know you want to talk about our greatness anyway!”

Irving rejoined the Nets in the first game against Cleveland, after missing seven consecutive games for personal reasons. When Irving spoke to the media to address his absence, he kept it short and sweet by saying ‘it’s time to move on’, from the attention around his time, which also resulted in a $ 50,000 fine. had due to a violation of the league’s health and safety protocols.

By adding Harden to the series, Brooklyn has arguably the most powerful offense in the league, with three of the most polarizing personalities. There are concerns about how Durant, Irving and Harden are going to work together in the locker room, and although early results in court show that the chemistry is not yet at its peak, these three just talked glowingly about each other. When Irving published this post on Instagram, Durant responded by agreeing with his teammate who shows that these trio of stars are all on the same page.

Brooklyn is more than capable of reaching the NBA Finals, but there are some real problems on the defensive side of the ball that need to be sorted out before championship rings are in their future.
