Come on Ray come play in the same arena where you threw brick after brick after brick to shoot the Celtics out of banner 18 and help Lakers to their 16.

Sidenote: Doc Rivers is a fake. He fits right in with the Clippers.

It wasn't just his atrocious shooting (3-14, I believe), it was his severe lack of effort in terms of rebounding.  He had 2.  For the game :o  Sure, KG only had 3, but that was because 1).  he was helping out so much on defense, 2).  the injury didn't exactly help, and 3).  the lakers were never called for an over-the-back, despite the fact that that's exactly what they did over the course of that game.  Sigh.

Anyway, Ray was always the guy leaking out on the wing, while everyone else was at least trying inside (it would have helped if they had bothered to box anyone out - and I mean anyone.  Ugh.), so it really surprised me to see him so actively involved on the boards during the last two playoff runs of the Heat.  Of course, knowing what we do now, should I really have been surprised, given his love for Lebron? ::) 

Interestingly, in both game 7 of the 2010 and 2013 Finals, Ray was practically a no-show, although the Heat wouldn't have made it to game 7 had he not made that shot due to Pop's removal of Duncan at the end of said contest.  Is such a trend of disappearing in game 7s prevalent throughout Allen's career, or were those two games the exception to the rule?  Does anyone know.

Anyway, given what Doc said after he left about him having an ego problem and such, I just don't think that Ray would ever want to play for Rivers again.  The Clippers aren't an upper echelon team right now, anyway.  I seriously doubt that they'd make the finals next year, due to the competition out west, and how could he pass up another opportunity to play with his majesty again, where his chances of making the finals next year are far greater than they'd be if he signed with the Clippers.

   Disappearing in game 7s is pretty typical for Ray, at least since 2008.

Not sure Ray is listening to the guy who benched him for Avery Bradley.

And also wanted or allowed Rondo to dominate the ball. It's not happening.

Class act. I wish him well wherever he lands.

he was basically the only celtic that showed up in game 7 against the magic in 2009.  He was pretty good against the Heat in 2012.  He wasn't bad for the Heat either in a few game 7's.

And for all the crap Ray gets, Pierce and/or KG were pretty bad in some of those games (as was Rondo).

You've called it right from the beginning even way before Doc left.  You saw right through Doc before everybody else did.  I have to give you that.

  By my count Rondo averaged 13/7/10 in game 7s, Ray 14/3/1, 16/9 for KG, PP went for 21/7/3. Ray's pretty much bottom of the 4. His numbers for the Heat look like 5/4/2. Awesome!

Whatever.  He helped the C's win banner 17 and grateful for that.  However, he was anything BUT a class act at the end. Now we see that he is a front-runner riding James' coat-tails. He has become a hired gun. I'll save my well wishes for someone else thank you.

So, a few years since he's left...LeBron's back home in CLE..President OBama's on his second term, etc, etc, etc...

...and people here in Greentown as STILL upset at how he left? Nor choose to perhaps understand ALL sides of it? I'll admit it could've been handled a different way, but Ray's a human being - like you and me.

He has said somethings since he's left that I didn't like - but whatever. I have way too many memories of him in Green that are good.

I'll focus on that - and you can focus on the negative.

You guys are being silly.  Nobody remembers Artest taking out Ray's thigh?  After he broke the finals record for 3 pointers?

Ray was without a doubt our most clutch player for probably all 5 years, and will probably go down as one of the most clutch of all time.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Don't try to be reasonable. This is celticsblog. Hating on Ray makes people's sorry lifes better here. I can't wait when Rondo leaves next summer, or force a trade or dares to sign a max contract with the celtics. After that Rondo will be an overrated player who "we" don't even wanted on the roster anymore.

What do you know, Washington are trying to get Ray.

Quote
The Wizards would prefer to keep their 15th and final roster open but they'd quickly change gears for Ray Allen. The team contacted the 39-year-old shooting guard early in the free agent process to gauge his interest in signing, CSNwashington.com has confirmed with two people with knowledge of the situation Tuesday.
