Video: Kyrie Irving throws shade on Brad Stevens for defensive strategy vs Kemba Walker

Finally watched the Kyrie comments when he was asked about Kemba. Certainly looks like a shot at the game plan, and thus Brad Stevens and the staff. Continues to throw people under the bus to the media. https://t.co/fyDdszuM85

"Should have trapped him like everyone else does..." 😬👀

Obviously some Kyrie fan boys will defend Kyrie Irving and say he wasn't taking a shot at Brad Stevens (or Stevens deserved it), but this is definitely not what you want to hear from your star point guard and self dubbed leader heading into the playoffs. Another option is for Kyrie to privately make a suggestion to his coach instead of through the media. Just like you'd want a coach to talk directly to his players rather than through the media.

*whispers* I'm also not 100% sure you can be the messenger on "we should have trapped Kemba" if you let this happen in transition. pic.twitter.com/zYDV8OWqB0
