How does a guy 6'9" only get one dunk? And though he didn't play as much as yrs past, he still logged close to 1000 minutes.

Also surprised that Ray Allen only had 9. He used to be so athletic. I guess the age factor has hit him this year.

With Ray, I'd attribute it partially to the system.  He can still get up, but he's been asked to penetrate a lot less this year.  For the most part, when Garnett and Pierce are on the floor, Doc basically asks him to be a spot-up jump-shooter.  It's usually only when one or both of them isn't on the floor that he starts penetrating more.

Ray's issue isn't with his athleticism. I have seen 3-4 of those dunks this year him get up and throw down in guys faces. I think it is more that he isn't used going to the basket any longer. He just sits on the three or curls to the top around the pick. You aren't going to get any dunks that way.

Antoine couldn't jump back when he was in shape, let alone now...

Yep, I paticularly enjoyed Ray's 2 dunks on Josh Smith in game 4(?) I believe.  Right in the young shot blockers face, with no hesitation.

What does AW dunking or not dunking have to do with the C's dunking or not dunking in the playoffs?
