Ray Allen Missing Once Again

[Change]

We called out Rondo and Pierce in the playoffs, Now C's fans are calling out Ray Allen. Although Rondo & Pierce haven't been great, but we are seeing progress. Time to step up NBA greatest shooter. Shooting 33% over the last 4 games isn't going to cut it. JJ Redick & C. Lee should not outplay you Mr. $17.4 million.

Time to step up old man

Wow, I hope no one calls me "old man" when I am 34 years old.

i didn't see the game...but it looked ugly from the highlights...Dwight was a lot more aggressive in this game

[Cs09Champs]

Ray was 3 for 13.

ray also got pretty decent looks. the shot just wasn't falling for him tonight.

[ACF]

I expect Ray to have a huge Game 4.

[kheeko]

I have to agree Ray deserves being called out. His inconsistency is costing us big time. 

[Drucci]

Yeah, Ray hurt us last night. He missed wide open threes and contested layups. If he doesn't react in game 4 we're done but I'm confident that he will bounce back.

[kheeko]

In game 4 if shots dont fall from three range, hes gotta try taking it to the basket or settle for midrange jumpers at least.

[Drucci]

Well he did it in game 3 but he hadn't much success, except on the midrange jumper (his most consistent weapon in my opinion).

[CelticG1]

We aren't getting him the ball in great spots either though. I'm not making excuses for him but we have had pretty terrible ball movement in our 2 losses. He needs to get in a better rhythm but people need to find him in his spots.

When Ray knows he is not shooting well he is working extra hard in warm ups and shooting practice to make good. All you have to do to see this is think of two numbers...5 and 1...we saw it in the last series, he was off on the first game then came back to have a great series averaging 24/game and high scoring with the 51. It won't be long (tonight) until he finds the rhythm and plays the way he always has!

Excellent point. When the ball stagnates at the point, Allen's game suffers. As it does when he's not getting good screens. Rondo hasn't done a good job moving the basketball and initiating the offense in games 1 and 3.

Sadly, his defense on some plays was also appalling.

The whole team seemed to be at Disneyland or a local golf course rather that the Orlando Basketball court. Hopefully, they will show up tonight.
