Ray's shot has been off in the preseason and this game.  It should come around soon.  Even though he shot poorly last night and had some turnovers, I thought he had a decent game. 

Last year Cleveland took away his game by sticking someone to him all game, preventing the Celtics from running their usual plays for him.  He had horrible games versus Cleveland.  Some other teams worked this strategy pretty well too.  I think the Celtics tried to put the ball in his hands more this game to change things up and prevent this.  It seemed to work well and he was much more active in the offense than in last year's games.  If he made a couple more of those shots or if some of the muggings were actually called fouls, Ray would've had 20+ points last night.

I know that he isn't the best ball handler, but I'd much rather see him turn the ball over a few times trying to create something within the offense than to stand on the baseline three point line and be ineffective all game.

Well of course you're going to defend him. After all, your his papa. ;)
