Kyrie Irving hit with Knicks taunt after another Celtics loss
The Boston Celtics’ slide continues, and the outside noise is getting deafening.
Sunday saw the Celtics fall by the final of 115-104 to the Houston Rockets in a game where they trailed by as many as 28. After the loss, Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe said that a fan yelled for Kyrie Irving to “go to New York.” Note here that the contest was played in Boston.

Though the Celtics are still fifth in the East at 38-26, they have been perhaps the worst team in the league since the All-Star break, now losers of five of their six games. Irving can, of course, become a free agent after the season, and the Knicks look like a frontrunner should he choose to leave Boston.
The six-time All-Star has also been noticeably frustrated lately, and all this losing will only make the Knicks chatter grow even louder.
