Ray Allen

[Mr. Incredible]

Boston fans swore up and down this guy was done.

Riiiiiight.

:pimp:

[LoneyROY7]

Shooting 53 percent from 3.

[nbarumorz]

Never said he was done ya fool. If you recall Boston actually made a significantly better offer to him at the end of last year than the Heat. We wanted him back, it hurt when he didn't come back.

we'll see what he does. this aint the playoffs buddy. this was a win against a non playoff team that is clueless and leaves him open at the end of games for 3.

[nbarumorz]

just completely forget he bricked that 2nd FT -- whatever floats your boat MIA fans ;)

Ask that JonnySic poster or whatever his name is... :oldlol:
He talked about him as if he was Adam Morrison now or something. :oldlol:

[PJR]

Riley got Ray to sign for Tax payers mid-level. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Dude is still a 8 million dollar player minimum.

[Rekindled]

he probably missed it on purpose to kill the clock

[pauk]

:bowdown:

[Boston C's]

I still don't think spolstra utilizes him properly...and rays touches are so inconsistent i mean before the 4th tonight hes been ghostly for miami then he goes off for 15 points in the 4th with the game winner :lol

in all seriousness though boston doesnt need him if they gel together like I hope they will they'll be just fine

[nbarumorz]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Keep telling yourself that



If Cavs snatch that rebound up like normal, they call TO and have 3 seconds from halfcourt down by 2....why would Ray do that. :roll:

That guy is an idiot then...the fairest way to judge BOS fans is to go by what the team is doing -- team offered 2x Miami's offer so clearly BOS didn't feel he was anywhere close to done.

no, just clearing up inaccuracies. Heat fans have said, just in this thread, that Ray purposely missed that 2nd FT at the end AND that Boston fans thought he was completely washed up and didn't care about him.

Boston fans have told me numerous times he was washed up, and he didn't miss it on purpose.

Obviously he didnt miss it on purpose, idiot Pringles thought he did...but, again, a handful of fans might've said he was washed up, but the majority sided w/ the organization when they offered him 2x the deal anyone else would give him

[Alonzo Magic]

He is worth more to Miami than he would be in Boston. The problem for the C's wasn't that they would lose his production, it was that he was going to be such a lethal weapon coming off a conference rival's bench.

Fact boston fans have raid ray is washed up but saying heat fans have been saying that ray missed that freethrow in another inaccuracies made up by you. Only 1 person said it in this thread and it was a laker fan you dumbass and who cares if he bricked the free throw we ****ing won thanks to his clutchess. Also Ray > Terry

I think you are confusing Celtics fans being bitter at Ray acting like a bitch by leaving Boston for us saying Ray is trash...most of the criticism was at Ray's character. The only reason it hurt us so much was because we all knew how good Ray still is and how valuable he can be to any team.

[DMV2]

I always thought Ray was (slightly) better than Pierce during that 5-year stretch of the Big 3 Era but people always labeled him as the third option.

I think he had as many big playoff games as Pierce had. Hell, even Ray's 2008 Finals performance was on-par with Pierce. PP's PPG just happens to be a margin higher due to more FGA, so he got the MVP.

The bolded to me is all true but during the 5 yr stretch pierce has been better then ray overall...sure it has some to do with him having more touches then ray but the last 2 yrs in boston ray suddenly forgot how to dribble the ball...I think ray completely left his prime after the 08-09 season... i thoguht ray could have still been putting up close to 25 a game in seattle up to that point if he never got traded to boston but after the 09 yr ray had a pretty drastic decline to me and however close it was between ray and pierce the first 2 yrs in boston pierce was a better player by a significant margin the last 3 yrs

[Derka]

Funny story...

Every Miami Heat "fan" on this board aside from maybe two of them were saying the exact same thing last season.

[PP34Deuce]

Boston fans,never said ray sucks. Ray cant defend...Bradley could and him n rondo were main fast break.

Ray has wade and Lebron to mask his defense.

Ray was.important to the Celtics success but its always been

Kg
Pp
Rondo
Then ray.

[stephanieg]

LeBron/Wade don't have to worry about their abysmal clutch shooting because the best 3-point shooter ever joined their team. Must be nice.

[Sharmer]

The Boston organisation disrespected Ray Allen, he was basicly running around screens, and being is used as a decoy, got less and less looks, got mentioned to trade, had the Rondo feud.

He's gone to a team that is offensively much deeper, yet he is a bigger part of the offense, his % from the field is higher and so is his 3 p %-

He really could be still a 20PPG + player, but he is a little bit of defensive liability, not because of effort, but off the dribble he be beat. It's probably because of his fragile ankles.

[oh the horror]

Its easier to look better when defenses are primarily worried about James, Bosh, and Wade.


On Boston, Ray at one point, WAS one of the primary targets for opposing defenses, and for some stretches, Ray was buckling under that.

false...rondo was a role player in the championship run so it hasnt always been that way

[Sharmer]

Ray was always the third option at the Celtics, only when they needed game winning shot, he would be become first option, at the end, he was was the 4th option, for player who came there in 08, after averaging 26. 4 PPG at Seattle, this is just dispectful.

[Sharmer]

false...rondo was a role player in the championship run so it hasnt always been that way


Allen was complaining about Rondo, back in 08, because he felt he wasnt getting the ball when he had open looks.

[Meticode]

I knew he wasn't done. Him coming off the bench is exactly what he needed to regress to to be an optimal player.

[Sharmer]

Lebron and Allen have great chemistry, offensively their styple of play compliments each other.

[All Net]

Great 4th option

Be surprised if he shoots lower than 50% from three all year.

[swi7ch]

Bos = top 3 players are all near 40 years old wtf! :eek:

I think most of us Celtics fans have moved on. Pretty childish to bring this shit back OP

Er, you seemed to have forgotten Ray's performance in the playoffs in 2009....he was playing like a star!!

[The_Yearning]

So Ray is okay with coming off the bench in Miami with less pay but was bitching about Bradley starting?

And why did Boston sign Terry anyways?

Boston dumb as hell.

[stevieming]

it got that way after 2009, ray became the fourth option.

He was utilized much less as his seasons as a Celtic passed by.

Boston dumb as hell.

Ray stated he was fine all along coming off the bench. It's the fact that Celtics disrespected him (don't ask me, but he says it). He also stated the biggest compliment was playing at the end of the games. According to him, it had nothing to do with Bradley.

Terry was actually a good choice by the Celtics, but the franchise should have tend to Allen first (although he was taking his time). Terry is a decent enough player to replace Allen's role.

Wasn't he pissed off because the Celtics tried to trade him?

[Killbot]

Wasn't he pissed off because the Celtics tried to trade him?

There were multiple factors not just one.

Here are some that I THINK played a factor in his departure:

1) Trying to trade him was one factor. I know other Celtics fans say Rondo and Pierce gets trade talks (Rondo, especially), but NONE of them came as close as Ray for OJ Mayo. NONE. He got a phone call saying it was done and then Doc/Ainge pulled it back.

2) Ray was utilized less as each year went by. He became a decoy rather than a main cog in the group. Ray wanted to do some posting ups on smaller guards (who either switched off on him or the team had smaller backcourt players). Doc didn't like the idea and prefer that the team was most effective with Rondo having the ball (this is true, IMO, especially last season).
Part of this fault was on Ray. His speed was hindered much more with bone spurs and he hesitated on some shots when he had enough space to shoot it.

3) Ray felt unappreciated during free agency with Boston Celtics. According to his take, Miami Heat had all these plans on how to utilize Ray and that impressed him. Boston Celtics, meanwhile, were not as eager to get him back compared to his last free agency where he signed with the Celtics. Here's the controversy: Doc is saying they called Ray 1st thing and must have changed phone numbers, but Ray says he never got the call from Doc.

4) Locker room problem with Rondo. Pretty much self-explanatory that started in '09 during the Phoenix Suns game. He told Rondo to be more likeable player to Doc and Ainge so that he doesn't get packaged with him and get traded to other teams. He didn't want to leave the Celtics. Rondo didn't take it lightly and thus started the problems.

5) The actual contract. It was reported by Doc that Ray was jealous of KG's contract (IMO, I think it's partly true, but not entirely). Ray wanted a reported 3 yr 27 million dollar contract. Although I think it's nuts, the most important factor to me was the amount of years that the Celtics offered Ray (2 yr, 12 million). Every other Celtic player in free agency seem to have gotten a 3 yr contract, but Ray only had 2. They did offer Ray a no trade clause later after Miami Heat seemed to grab Ray's attention more, but it was too late. Honestly, if Celtics offered Ray 3 yrs 18 million with a no trade clause from the BEGINNING, that would have made him stay.

6) Signing of Terry before Ray. 1st, Ray didn't feel as wanted. 2nd, this means less minutes and less plays for Ray. Although it's a bit selfish on Ray, I believe that he believes he still can contribute at an effective level. They didn't seem to trust Ray's abilities.

[Sharmer]

The Celtics are missing Ray significantly on the offensive end, they brought in Terry, but he doesn't move without the ball without the ball like Ray and doesn't spread the floor as much.

He was a big part of the win in 08, I recall his 55 point game in the Chicago playoff game, all endless game winning big shots. And the organisation disrespect him time after time.

The Miami bench role is totally different, is he second SG behind D Wade, legit super star, in Boston they started Avery Bradley over him, which just added the reasons for him to leave.

We miss ray at the end of games right now. Terry can hit crazy off balance 3 pointers as well. The difference isnt a big difference. Ray offered traditional SG size, and underrated passing ability. Boston can adjust and is depending on Bradley to be the starter.

He was huge for BOS in 2008 and 2009. He ran out of steam 2010 on. Ray is a luxury item more so than necessity at this stage. He's not a better player than KG or PP right now, and ultimately BOS went with 2 guys who can still score and play both ends of the floor above average at least.

Starting Bradley made the defense scarier and faster. When bradley was in a groove, our perimeter D was lights out. His tenacity even influenced Rondo to play the D hes capable of. With quick PG-SG pairs in the Jennings/Ellis mold, a Rondo/Bradley line up is better. If Bradley hits his open 3's and scores off the ball. This team is a lot better.

You make some good points, however I think Ray is more than a spot up shooter, I recall the Seattle days , when he could score off the dribble, this year with Miami, he's gone back to that style, scoring off the dribble.

The Celtics playbooks can be predictable at times. It can be argued that Ray brings more offensive threat's than KG or PP- at this stage in their careers.

The concession will be made, that Ray is a little bit of defensive liability, and the Celtics built around defensive pressure, for that reason he probably lost the starting role to Bradley.

The Celtics are desperate for another power forward/Center, they will be at some stage, be making a trading for another PF/C.

[The_Yearning]

Regardless, I think we can all agree that Ray Allen is bitchmade and not who we thought he was.

The celtics messed up thinking they can change Darko. Also giving Jeff Green a 9 mill contract when he wasnt even getting thaton the open market. I def see Ainge going for Gortat but honestly I dont expect this team to win a title. I see them giving false hope and then hitting low come 2014-2015. I have been a celtic watcher since Battie/Eric Williams/Kenny anderson delk era. I can live with another bad stretch.

This team will only make the finals if PP or KG play out of their minds. I do think PP is going to be more vital because hes unrestricted free agent endof season. PP is going to try and one last 2-3 year 12-15 mill contract.

[MetsPackers]

I'm not entirely convinced that the Celtics championship window is completely closed just yet. Theres only a couple teams in the east that can truly compete with them for 7 games come playoff time, and even against them the Cs still have a fighting chance given that everybody steps up come playoff time. Plus they'll have Bradley back and KG and PP have been getting a lot of rest so if they're not banged up, I don't see why its impossible that the Cs upset the Heat and go to the finals, although unlikely and I wouldn't bet on it

If they did get to the finals, depending on the opponent, they could definitly win it. I think they'd match up very well vs OKC or LA potentially. In that sort of scenario it would probably be more beneficial to have Ray than Terry

They're going to have to give something up valuable to get a quality PF/C, Bradley, will be probably go, Bass is not that valuable on the open market, he is valuable player but under rated, and won't be in big demand.

Most teams won't be taking the risk of Bradley, so they would want to compensated with a good deal, therefore the Celtics may have to give up more than they really want to.

Celtics will have to play out of their skin, and have a lot of luck if they're got any chance against Miami, I can see them pushing Miami to 6 games, but this year Miami's bench is distinctly better.

The other sleeping giant in the East, is the 76's, if Bynum gets healthy before the playoffs, he's going tear the Celtics apart inside. NY also much up favorably against the Celtics, they have a lot of quality inside and with Jason Kidd's senior leadership, Melo's ego won't get out of control.

Their Window is closing, unless they pull off some magic deals.

Hes doing more in our offense than hes ever done in Boston. Hes handling the ball a lot more, shooting better and getting steals.

Steep decline? :oldlol:
How can you even say that seriously? If he was in a steep decline he wouldn't be matching his production in his best years in Boston right now.

I hate Rondo but if he where on the Heat I'd come around to liking him. That's just how it is. If talking trash about other team's fans makes you feel better about you mediocre team, then go ahead.

Ray has a bigger role with Miami, Lebron is much better passer than Pierce, the Celtics organisation realise now what they lost.

Scary how clutch ray has been this season. Saved Miami a few times.

[icewill36]

ray is the reason wades decline doesnt matter.

80% from 3point in the last 3 min of any game this season


(I just made that up but I bet i'm close!)

I can't wait when he drops 7 threes against BOS to eliminate them in five games! :applause:

Bunch of near 40-year olds have no chance against the all-time 3 pt leader in any league of pro basketball not to mention oneo f the greatest ever in LBJ! :applause:

[nashwade]

to be very fair, all of the 3 point specialists look especially good after joining bron, wade and bosh

ray, lewis, jones, battier. the only one that digressed was Miller but his Finals performance made up for everything

Omg I love that picture of allen.. looks so human and natural in that picture.. perfect snapshot of an authentic looking laugh.

[Akrazotile]

I'm not entirely convinced that the Celtics championship window is completely closed just yet.



:roll:

[imdaman99]

we'll see what he does. this aint the playoffs buddy. this was a win against a non playoff team that is clueless and leaves him open at the end of games for 3.
I was wrong. Has saved Heat's asses plenty of times in the playoffs already :bowdown:

Ray was pushed out of Boston just like doc Rivers left and KG/Pierce did too.

Former 2 left due rondo. The latter due to not wanting to rebuild.

Even though Allen is a ring chasing coward, that is okay because he is a ROLE PLAYER and not a SUPERSTAR.

Celtics traded him at one point. Who broke the loyalty?

:biggums: You cannot be serious? Ray Allen was 37 going into his 17th season...it's impossible to be a "ring chasing coward" at that juncture in your career and you're a free agent...especially when the team you were on tried to trade you 3 or 4 times while you were there.
