If Ray goes to the Heat (or anywhere else) I will applaud him when he comes home

[Celtics Fan]

He just having dinner all this staying over night is bs. He's coming back and tell your Seattle friends if they werent so cheap than maybe they would've had a team still.

If he goes to the heat for half the money to back up Wade, he's dead to me.

If he's angry at Rondo, then Ray is the one who needs to "grow up".

This. We don't owe Ray anything. He'd just be another member of David Stern's favorite  "basketball team" called the Heat.

Exactly. Him winning down there won't mean anything. It is the Lebron and Wade show featuring a few other guys. The Heat bandwagon fans probably don't even know who Ray Allen is yet they want him there.

My friends here in Seattle are rooting for Ray to sign with the Heat.  They see it as another road block to the Thunder winning a title (their nightmare).  They see Ray signing with Miami as a hat tip his boys in Seattle.  They don't consider the Celtics to be a legitimate contender anymore.  It's all Bron vs Durant at this point... they are just glad he's siding with the good guys.

They are going to get a wake-up call named the LA Lakers. Also, a shorthanded celtics team was [dang] close to beating the heat.

True... I saw the Lakers as a serious threat even before they brought in Nash.  I think Mike Brown must be a horrible coach if he can't get a team with two of the top 5 big men in the game into the WCF.

  Phil Jackson must be a horrible coach as well, he did no better the year before.

Yeah, and that team had Lamar Odom and a Pau Gasol that made the all-NBA second team.

I have read some truly ridiculous posts about this in the past few days. Yes I'm a die-hard Celtics fan, but I am also a fan of the game - just because Ray goes somewhere (that is likely in his best interest), it doesn't erase the BIG memories he's created here and the work he put in to help win us a title and nearly secure a second.

Time to grow up kids.

Thank you Ray - You bet I will be there at the first Heat @ Celtics game this fall and I will stand up and applaud you even if I'm the only one

Good for you. You are fully entitled to your opinion, but I sure as hell won't be applauding him.

Bottom line is, i feel there's a majority consensus on this board, and in Celtics fandom in general that would make the OP the minority.

I know i won't be a part of his warm welcoming committee if he dons a heat uniform. Nice Benedict Arnold sign might suffice.

Considering the fact that Danny Ainge appears ready and willing to make him strong concessions (significantly more money plus no trade clause or trade kicker), then there's NO CHANCE that I will applaud Ray if he goes to the Heat.  If anything I will question his competitiveness at this point in his career.  Sure he has better odds of winning a title.  However, I would think this year's game 7 loss to Miami would make him, in addition to all of the great history in Boston, would motivate him to make one last run with this group.  Does Ray really want to just tag along for the ride with Miami?  Or does he want to be a crucial part of a team that has an opportunity to make one last run at a title together?

Ray will be the enemy if he goes to Miami and it will be difficult for die hard fans to reminisce about his time with Boston until after his career is over.

I prefer "Judas Shuttlesworth"

I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of that

I HIGHLY doubt this.  I am pretty sure the casual fans (which makes up most of the crowd) will give Allen a standing ovation.

And I will be one of the guys giving standing ovation for RAY,

I just dont know why do we need say Ray hates what the org did to him when we all know Ray is a pro.

Well i hope it doesn't come to that in the first place. But with a fanbase that cheers for a team that just got blown out in a game six for over four straight minutes im not sure if we're seeing eye to eye on that "casual" label..

Guess we will find out soon enough though. Hope he stays a C.

Just sign   Piertus to cover Ray Allen when we play the cheat ,  Piertus is alot cheaper

[AlainaCath]

If Ray joins the cHeat after the way they disrespected us the last 2 years (i.e. breaking Rondo's arm, cheap fouls, dirty mouthed smiles) i will boo the hell out of him. Does that make me immature? Sure...Do I care? No.

[SHAQATTACK]

Ray Allen ...BAD KARMA runing out on Paul and KG

He was Docs golfing buddy too....

Hope Ray comes back to Boston.  He's still a very valuable player.  But if he bails for Miami I'm not gonna hold it against him.  I'll be rooting for him in the Finals when they face off against Oklahoma   Btw, watch Sonics Gate... you don't know what you're talking about.
