Ray is terrible. The sooner we get rid of him, the better. He's become little more than a bad contract.

Not sure which was worse, the missed open dunk or fumbling the ball in open court.

which fumble in open court are you talking about Al-Haqq?

He's been solid all year although he probably played his worst game of his life when we needed him the most.

I'm a Ray supporter and hate those that always advocate trades, but man, that was just a bad game and how he played last playoffs worries me too. I put most of the blame on him, but if he gets it around then we should be set, for this series at least.

Not sure if today's game was the worst of his life or not. He had plenty of bad games to chose from in last year's playoffs as well.

Regardless, we can all agree he's wildly overpaid and we need to use his expiring contract to get us something of value.

Sure, Ray had a bad game, but we lost this game in the first half, which the blame goes to the whole team coming out flat.

Is the Celtics organization keeping an Allen injury under the table? He looked uncharacteristically terrible. Why the heck did he have on two shooting sleeves?

We had out chances to win even with Ray's bad game.

This first game was going to be tough no matter who we played....I just don't think the C's were emotionally or mentally ready for the playoffs.

People that are saying get rid of Ray Allen are nuts......crazy.

We could have won that game on many occassions. It just wasn't meant to be. Ray Allen has been great for the Celtics.

They win the game easily with even a decent performance, so I put all of the blame on him. I've been all in favor of keeping him, but if he has another horrible playoffs I'd like to see him traded.

did you miss the conf. finals and the finals last year?

To me this has nothing to do with Ray.....and everything to do with not having KG. if we KG today, we would have won. and nobody would be talking about Ray's bad game....

What % of the blame does he deserve
