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.
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.
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!!
