Poetry in motion.

After all the crap Ray Allen was going through during his playoff slump, it's really great to see him playing at his peak during the Finals.  The guy's a Hall of Famer!  Nice of him to remind us that at the most opportune time.

He looked 25 years old in the 4th quarter. It was very nice to see.

if and when the celts win this title, this will be one of those clips that is shown in the pregame intro to a number of nba finals to come in the future. it was just one of those plays, like mj's switch of the ball from right hand to left, and dr. j's up and under one handed swing motion. I don't think it is as good as those but, it meant so much in this game and it will be shown forever and ever.

this team is so easy to root for...... amongst the Big Three there is genuine respect and elation at the other's success...

remember KG with his get the ball to Pierce and get hell out the way...line....

look at Pierce celebrating Ray's drive. and also watch him at the beginning of the play where both KG and Paul calmly gave Ray center stage...

I love the portion of the play where he goes up and says "Crap, the rim is on the way. Got to take it back down for a bit. Oh lookie here, Odom is coming to try and block the shot. *Yawns* What a joke". Then lays it in.

Can someone add Pierce's And-1 drive that mortals have no business thinking about finishing?

All that and he played all 48 minutes.

TP, that was my favorite part. its like he had a check list.

1. avoid smelly European
2. opps! the rim! adjust height of ball.
3. Boy, i sure do seem to have alot of time, what is this three clutchs?
4. Oh, that odom guy, forgot about him. guess ill flip it up with spin to avoid him.
5. darn i forgot to get kobe to sign the bottom of my sneakers.

amazing.

I liked how he was used as the defacto PG when Rondo was out. Actually this is something I think Allen should have been used as more throughout the year. He seems to get more in the flow with some dribbling time, and our backup PG situation is well we all know. With RA bringing the ball up, House and Tony Allen can play SG - which is a good thing.

RayRay has been amazing this Finals.  I think for all the stuff we fans said about him in the last two series, we need to give this man some love.

Truly amazing play ... very Jordan-esque, and it demonstrates how versatile Ray is, and not just a "jump-shooter". Pierce had a drive going to the hoop in this game that was incredible also, where he was knocked to the floor, put in an amazing back-spin shot, and got the foul as well. This team is awesome ... and so much fun to watch when they're "on"!

Yeah, I love that video, I've sent it to a bunch of friends.
The MFA should have it running on continuous feed in their lobby, along with all the other beautiful pieces of art there....
