BOSTON — Remember when Kyrie Irving said too much after games?
Well, those days apparently are over — for now, at least.
After last week’s loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Boston Celtics guard was noticeably brief (and maybe a tad grumpy) with his answers. Again, given Irving’s track record of talking a ton, it was easy to write off his postgame silence as a one-off.
But after Sunday’s largely embarrassing loss to the Houston Rockets, Irving once again short with his answers.

If you were being optimistic, you’d probably say this is Irving simply refusing to give the media additional headline material. If you were being pessimistic, you’d probably say the All-Star guard is fed up with the current season, and perhaps is counting down the days until free agency.
And, well, if you were being realistic, you’d probably say it’s a bit of both.
