Shooting 53 percent from 3.
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.
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:
Riley got Ray to sign for [B]Tax payers mid-level[/B]. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Dude is still a 8 million dollar player minimum.
[QUOTE=nbarumorz]just completely forget he bricked that 2nd FT -- whatever floats your boat MIA fans ;)[/QUOTE]
he probably missed it on purpose to kill the clock
:bowdown:
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

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.
[QUOTE=DaSeba5]Boston fans have told me numerous times he was washed up, and he didn't miss it on purpose.[/QUOTE]
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
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.

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.

I guess if 2 Celtics fans represent all of this that's kool.

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
Funny story...
Every Miami Heat "fan" on this board aside from maybe two of them were saying the exact same thing last season.
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.
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.
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
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.
[QUOTE=Boston C's]false...rondo was a role player in the championship run so it hasnt always been that way[/QUOTE]
Allen was complaining about Rondo, back in 08, because he felt he wasnt getting the ball when he had open looks.
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.
Great 4th option
Be surprised if he shoots lower than 50% from three all year.
