Kyrie wasn't at the bench during game. (update: he had a nasal surgery)

[blink]

I feel like unless there was some big major reason, Kyrie, Hayward, Theis and Larkin should all be there. They can miss a day of rehab if needed to be with their team and be there for whatever happens. 

The thing you should ask, would KG not be at the game?  Then hold those guys to the same standard.  If they have some other major issue, understood.  If they just don't show up, that is disappointing.   Be with your team on the biggest game of the year.

I still do not understand why a player getting paid does not attend games..it should be mandatory unless you have a doctor’s excuse.

kevin love was there and he has a concussion a few hours ago

Kyrie had surgery weeks ago

Hmm, do you remember why Kyrie is not playing??

Not all injuries prevent you from attending a basketball game. Since he has attended other games I can not attribute his absence to his knee injury. So what exactly is your point again?

I'm not sure what his point is. My point is that I think the Celtics would have had a better chance to win if Kyrie was there...... wait a second, that's a crazy thought. The Celtics would have lost either way. Hmmm maybe Kyrie being absent had absolutely nothing to do with Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart's offensive performance.

Don’t care. Get healthy. Follow your scripted itinerary. Come back and pay in this game next season.

[BringToughnessBack]

Maybe he could have helped settle Rozier down-I dont get the absence in game 7 to go to finals

[Chris22]

Who cares?
Most of the Celtics didn't show up either.

Depends on why he wasn't there. I'm not gonna judge him off of zero information

But that's no fun.

Is jumping all over a guy when we don't know anything considered "fun"?

[perks-a-beast]

Not good. He's always had a too cool for school attitude, but to not show up for a game 7 ECF game is weak. Even Pierce was court side and he hasn't been a Celtic in half a decade..

he wasn't at a lot of games

Hayward is doing rehab and still made it to the game

it's a continued attitude that cavs fans know all too well

Actually, you don’t know that. Kyrie’s presence or absence could have had a psychological effect on both teams.

[Tr1boy]

not good

Hayward was there

I understand the last thing Kyrie wanted to do was shake Lebums hand in defeat

but he still should have been to support his teammates

whatever, just win it all next year Kyrie
