Star guard Kyrie Irving took to social media on Monday to encourage fans following the Dallas Mavericks’ season-ending 106-88 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Irving stated that Mavs supporters have to be pleased of the team’s postseason success and “keep your head up high”:

The 32-year-old performed well below his standards in three games in Boston, combining to shoot just 18-of-53 on the road in the Finals. The Mavs were playing in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011, so fans are definitely hoping that it won’t be another 13 years before the team reaches this stage again. Irving appears confident that he can help lead Dallas to its second title in franchise history before his tenure with the team comes to an end. Irving posted just 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting as the Mavs faced a stingy Celtics defense.
