Kyrie Irving hated his face mask so much

Kyrie Irving wore a clear mask on his face on Tuesday night after suffering a facial fracture last week. And he, understandably, hated it. A lot.

He blamed it for a missed shot.

Could not wait to get it off as soon as someone called a timeout

Oops.

But seriously this looks terrible.

Had this to say about it after the game (via Masslive.com):

"It's just a piece of plastic on your face," he said. "It's the difference of having something over your face. It's almost like having somewhat foggy blinders on. When I take off the mask, I can see everything and when I have the mask on, I'm really dialed into what's in front of me. My peripherals are a little cut off, up and down. It's something to get used to. It is what it is."

Though it is better than the black mask he wore last time he had to wear a mask

Despite his troubles, Irving had 25 points in the Celtics' 109-102 win over the Nets.
