Ray allen does not need a 35 min game these days!

If Ray is not scoring all that much- popular lately- he gives us no assists, no rebounds no steals and no blocks ... so why is is playing so many minutes? We need someone to take it to the hole, as Pierce is being guarded tight by Lebron and is tired on defense straining - Garnett is really guarded tight now as well- so why leave Ray out there- we should Play Tony Allen, tell him take it to the rim, be aggressive cause fouls , make Cleveland work ...

Also our offense needs jolt- Eddie House was that jolt all year long ...

Come on- we need adjustments ...

So you're saying we should play Tony Allen over Ray Allen? Wow!

I completely disagree. The Boston Celtics were close to winning that game but let it slip away from them. Making such a drastic move is a wrong move, big time!

Some guys should penetrate a little more, but we shouldn't go around replacing people.

thats not what I'm saying at all, what iI meanis play TA some at least- HE'S A BETTER DEFENDER AND DRIVES TO THE HOOP- let Ray rest and be fresh- he's playing too much.

prediction: Ray will have a big game last night. lost in the 4th quarter melt down on monday was Ray's big 3rd quarter. why Doc didn't give him the ball everytime down the floor after that I don't know. I think our offense doesn't ride the hot hand enough and that way too often doc is concerned about everyone getting touches instead of the hot guy getting touches. we need to start riding whoever is hot

Yeah we need adjustments. I just don't think we have any good ones.

I h8t Ray Allen's production this year. He wasn't close to an all-star importance on the floor.

But as bad as it is, when I saw Posey in there.. it does let the opposing team rest when CLE's on defense. The other team still chases Ray off picks. With Posey they just stay near him somewhere outside the 3 point line and don't move much. Wally is supposed to be exposed by movement but this year must be a leap year because he now can move and with that Posey allows CLE's defense to focus in on Pierce and lowpost doubles on KG.

idk, our offense shouldn't be this bad, DET seems to be able to score without anything more just fine. But we can't.

Ray has the same Fg% that pierce, one rebound less, the same assists, the same steals and has shoot one FT more than PP... What the hell are you talking about? I don't throw out a shooter for a slasher, I throw out the slasher tha doesn't go to work. You can't play with Rondo an two slasher, nobody is gonna defend the perimeter and the only inside treath we got will be surrounded from defenders... This is a Basketball nosense, without shooters no slasher is going to slash.

Need to get Ray Allen off. This is a PG problem. Ray is dependent on ball movement, which celts have had none.

Could use tony allen's driving ability, but small ball is the celts' best hope.
