Ray Allen

[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

Rondo
Then ray.

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.

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.

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.

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!

[CelticBaller]

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

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

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.

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