The Milwaukee Bucks are just one loss away from exiting the NBA Playoffs. After claiming the No. 1 overall seed, their season is facing an abrupt end. Giannis Antetokounmpo got a freak injury and the Bucks haven’t been the same since. Kyrie Irving sympathizes and understands this situation all too well.

Kyrie himself was part of a stellar Brooklyn Nets squad that was cruising toward the NBA Finals. Irving had to leave during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals and never returned. He injured his ankle and the lack of firepower and a rather big shoe, helped the Bucks vanquish the Nets in 7 games.
Irving is all too familiar with the pain of seeing his squad suffer. Without his services, they were rendered vulnerable. A situation that the Bucks too have found themselves in.
And Irving took to Twitter to interact with some fans about it. He spoke with no holes barred.
“No f***ing doubt about it. Hélà”: Kyrie Irving says he relates to Giannis Antetokounmpo as the Bucks are on the verge of untimely exit
Yes, Irving has all the time on his hands and thanks to that, he took to Twitter today to reply to various posts and get the crowd going.

This was the post he decided to reply to. Indicating that he felt the play he got injured on was bad. Kyrie is a believer in Karma and his reply is likely an indication that karma comes for all. He Tweeted the following:
“One of the most disappointing and painful moments of (my) career. If I don’t get hurt (in) that series, every single one of us on that Brooklyn team/bandwagon would be Champions. No f***ing doubt about it.”

A harsh reply. But one that displays his sentiments well. We don’t really have a gripe with Irving, after all, bad things do happen to people. The Bucks season would have been great. Alas, injuries are misfortunate.
This was not the only reply Kyrie gave on the platform. He tweeted out other replies too.
Kyrie is enjoying time with family and Giannis might join him soon
It is a strange thing to be writing about this playoffs, and while upsets are part of the game, something this dramatic was not in the script.
The Bucks are down 3-1 in the series and head home with a do-or-die game ahead. Irving might be enjoying time with his family and it looks like Giannis might join him in doing the same.
Can Milwaukee bounce back? We will just have to wait and watch.
