Nice for Ray Allen, sucks for Hedo tho. Although somebody may be replacing Jason Kidd too.

Not sure he deserved it. But, Congras to Ray.

He didn't deserve it (frankly, Rondo has been more important to the team's success), but congratulations to him.

Congrats to the 2008 Celtics minutes per game leader.

One of the schools of thought among coaches is that any team's minutes per game leader is the player hardest to replace, AKA MOST VALUEABLE.

Whether that's a valid school of thought I don't know, but I do know that

Leon Powe, Kendrick Perkins and Glen Davis should send Thank You Notes to:

Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Eddie House and James Posey for spreading the floor with their 3 point shooting ability.

Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett for drawing double teams.

Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Tony Allen and Rajon Rondo for attacking the rim.

Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are the two common denominators for the Celtics 2008 offensive scheme.

And, by signing Ray Allen,

the Celtics traded for Glen Davis,

convinced Kevin Garnett to come,

which convinced Eddie House and James Posey to sign.

It seems like everything good this past year involves Ray Allen.

:clap:

Well, he didn't deserve it as much as some other players (like Hedo, who's been mentioned). And I kind of wanted him to take the All-Star break and get some rest.

But congrats to him. Always nice to see more representation.

Unless the trade goes down today I see him playing for the East. It would be tough to call in a reserve on Friday or Saturday. Just my two cents.
