If Ray joins the CHeat...

[perks-a-beast]

I'm curious about this. Let's say, hypothetically, you're at the garden when the heat face the Celtics for the first time next year and Ray checks in to the game game. Do you boo or cheer?

Personally, i'm booing the dude. I can understand why he would do it but if you want to join the enemy then deal with the consequences of being hated. I don't want any of that "Thank you, Ray" crap playing on the jumbotron. With Perk it was okay because he had no say in the matter but with Ray signing with the Heat to get an easy ring at our expense then that's completely different. I booed Johnny Damon for joining the Yanks and i'll boo Ray if he joins miami (which i'm going on record right now saying i think it'll happen).

Why would you boo a class act of a guy for helping win a championship and 5 great years of memories in our building? He has the free choice to do whatever he wants, Miami fits his game perfectly and if he signs a one year deal he gets a one year vacation in south beach. I would probably do the same thing especially if the celtics were showing the luke warm interest they currently are.

He isnt going to the Heat to spite the celtics. He is going to the heat because that is his best option and he'd be looney not to do so.

I'll boo his as***. That's what happens when you join those dirt bags in Miami.

boo him all you want but we wouldnt have 18 without him... I wouldnt cheer for him but I also wouldnt lose all class and boo him... id just remain silent, and remember the good times

I don't care WHY he joins the Heat but if he does then he's the enemy and i'm rooting for him to fail. Bottom line. I'm gunning for the uniform, not the player. I don't care if he's a "Class act." If i knew the dude personally it's a different story, it's not like ray is the godfather of my children. I'm strictly booing as a sports fan, not like its anything personal. But if you join the enemy you're getting booed eventually, even if not right away so deal with it.

Rooting for the Heat or Ray Allen in another uniform is not that same thing as taking the time to recognize a former players' achievements in a short pre-game gesture.

I'm not going to boo Ray Allen.  Guy did too much in a Celtics uniform and I always found him to be a likeable guy. 

Booing him because he's playing for the Heat is just a petty gesture, IMO.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Standing O the first time he enters a game.   After that he gets treated like any other player.  No need to single the guy out for boos, he's had a great run here.

It's a different story if he's joins the Clippers(Hell, throw the guy a parade if he comes back to Boston a Clipper) or some team like that but it's the Miami Heat- a team that just beat the Celtics to get to a championship and a team they'll probably have to go through again if they want another title. I don't want to give any player on the team no matter who it is any positive reinforcement on our homecourt.

Anyways, just my opinion as a Celtics fan. Obviously it's not up to me. If Paul, KG, Doc, and Rondo are okay with the fans giving Ray a standing O while wearing a Heat Jersey then it's absolutely fine i guess.

[KGs Knee]

Should have put a "wait for him outside the arena to break his surgically repaired ankle" option.   

Seriously though, it depends on the circumstances under which he would be joining them. If it's because the C's choose not to bring back the gang or bother to extend a fair offer to Ray, I'd accept it (sick, but acceptant).  If Ray just simply chooses Miami over Boston, even though we try to bring him back, I'll be extremely angry.

It'll be bittersweet.

I will boo the Heat though. And if he's part of it, he'll be booed. But I will not boo him.
