Ray Allen should be hated by all Celtics fans and here's undeniable proof

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Lol at you fools. Fck ya celtics fans have a right to hate this mother****er. Who cares if he helped them win ONE championship. This ain't fcking Cleveland, fck the one championship ray helped them win. Dude went to Boston's main rival at this point in time. Miami got together to beat the celtics. Fck ray Allen and fck the one championship he helped Boston win. Dude is a disloyal fcking clown.

And about him possibly being traded? I thought the entire team was rumored to be on the trading block. The celtics were gonna rebuild, but at some point in time between the trading deadline and when they resigned kg, they changed their minds. get over it you douche bag. I hope seattle never gets a team so this clown never has his jersey retired ever. Then again Miami retired mj and Dan marino's jersey so who knows, maybe that weak assss franchise will retire ray Allen's jersey as well.

Without Ray: No championship.


Like I said before: Ray Allen actually took significantly less money than Pierce and KG to be a part of that Celtics team, despite being pretty much as important as those two and being an irreplaceable part of the big three/four.

The Celtics organisation just didn't give Allen the same respect, so he felt it was time to seek something new.

Why do people think that without Ray Celtics don't win a championship.

Although they were dubbed the big 3, that doesn't mean they were all equally important. Pierce and KG were both much more critical to the Celtics than Ray ever was.

[nbarumorz]

I'm not even a Celtics fan, but I think it was a major bitch move. You can sign with any of the other 29 teams in the league, but you choose one where it would be easiest to tag along, give a minimum effort and they will carry you to a couple rings anyway. Not to mention your biggest current rival in the same conference.

At 1/2 price +++++

He was. You could make a strong argument for him being the bets player during their won finals, but of course Pierce as the franchise face gets the nod. Not more deserving than Ray though, as equal a performance as you'll find. Good luck finding an off the ball scorer and clutch player as well as Ray Allen. A guy who plays within the offense and provides intangibles. A beacon of fitness save for the last months, and a true professional living for the game.

Sure, Paul Pierce averages slightly higher numbers across the board. But that's simply because he plays on the ball and closer to the basket.

KG provides some much needed defense and is still very skilled, but he's far from healthy and needs to have good back up around him. Offensively he's nowhere near what he once was, and especially during the championship run he was there for the defense mostly.

This just goes to show how under appreciated Ray Allen has been by Boston. That he's seen as clearly less important as those two. People are statsheet worshipers, they don't appreciate the refined but very real value Ray Allen brought to the table.

[nbarumorz]

I personally appreciate his contributions to the championship & the deep Playoff runs over the years, but if he gets booed out of the building I won't feel sorry for him. He knew what he signed up for. He can't possibly be delusional enough to expect Celtic fans to be completely okay with his decision.

A limping Celtics team almost knocked the Heat out of the playoffs. Let's not act like the Celtics weren't and haven't been in the picture every (healthy) year since 2008.

And lets not act like Miami was healthy either.

That just puts an exclamation point on the whole thing. The way Ray was acting it seemed he would have volunteered to play for free as long as he could ride the Heat train.

[Haymaker]

Allen just wanted to fukc the Celtics in the ass and he just did that. He took too many shots to his ego without saying much. He waited and waited and he's just acting out of anger.

[TMT]

And lets not act like Miami was healthy either.

Without Chris Bosh you still have two top 5 players, the advantage of having a super team. The Celtics had players missing and out of the guys that were playing there were injuries across the board. The Heat still shouldn't have even let them get that close, let alone at one point fall behind in the series to the point of elimination.

[Smoke117]

Reportedly he demanded THREE times more from the Celtics than Miami offered. Money was clearly a factor.

Also Doc never says a bad word about anybody ever. And he said that Ray made a mistake and that the Celtics pursued him HARD.

And as far as the point that without Ray the Celtics don't have a championship he also cost the Celtics by going ice-fvcking-cold in game 7 of the Finals in 2010, that all Celtics fans learned to forget since we love(d) the guy but now, what the hell, here is the forbidden stat line:

3-14 FG 2-7 from 3, 4 TO, 13 pts 2 assists 2 reb

How many times does it have to be said that Ron Artest kneed Ray Allen in the thigh in game 3 and gave him a deep bone bruise. Why don't you go out and play professional basketball when your primary role is to shoot jump shots and you can barely even jump. Shut your ass up. We real Celtic fans wish Ray the best and appreciate what he did for the team. For all this bullshit talk people like to say it was Ray Allen who was the best scorer during the finals in 2008.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Agreed for the most part. But there was no chance in hell he was going back to Boston after talking with Riley.

It can't just be that Miami's better, right? Better team, players, organization, city, weather...

Ray's made a lot of money. His decision clearly wasn't about it. Miami wins on everything else.

You easily could've been describing Paul Pierce during that 1st paragraph haha. Replace "off" with "on" and that's pretty much PP.

Dude are you arguing Ray is an equal part in terms of TODAYs value or 2008s value. Because the idea that KG was mostly defense during 2008 is absolutely hilarious. Dude shot 49.5% averaged 20.5 PPG and 10 RBG during the playoffs.

Ray shot 42.8% during the playoffs and averaged 15 PPG

Wade wasn't healthy either.

Some people must think Ray is Marcus Camby. Ray actually cares about winning. Miami gives him the best chance of that.
