Kyrie Irving says Nets “needed” humbling experience of Celtics sweep

Brooklyn star spoke about last season's elimination as a guest on "The Boyz Night Podcast"

Kyrie Irving believes the Brooklyn Nets’ first round loss to the Boston Celtics was exactly what they needed to drive them this season.

“Get ’em up. I’ve got to get them up on both ends of the floor. I’ve got to be a complete player. Coming for different hardware this year, bro. I’ve been in the lab crazy, since we got 4-0’d,” Irving said on “The Boyz Night Podcast,” before adding three times that the sweep occurred just how it should have. “It was meant to happen like that.”

“It was meant to happen like that,” Irving said. “Motivation, bro. We needed it. We needed that humbling experience, especially going against the Celtics. It was already built in to be that matchup”.
