Yardbarker: Ray Allen

Now THAT'S Celtics basketball

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:30:00 -0500

We just had to break this play out on its own today. There are so many components to it that make it awesome.Rondo with the little flick of a bounce pass to KG. You'll notice it on the replay. Looks so easy... but when you look at the angle and how little space there is to get that in there... it's just so pretty. Ray Allen never stops moving. Some guys, especially shooters, would peel off and find a spot behind the line and just hang out there. Nope... not Ray. No...

Random Thoughts on a Celtics Beatdown

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:34:00 -0500

I am watching last night's game for the 2nd time now and I just love the ball movement and the defense I am seeing.

KG is finally hitting his stride and getting comfortable ...

Comments from the Other Side - Bobcats 12/1

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:57:00 -0500

On Accuscore Simulation at ESPN, the Cats are favored over the Celtics 51% to 49%. I say we are going to have a hard fought game, tight to the very end, and we win #5 in a row. I feel like unless Doc has been watching our films closely they will make the same mistakes the last 3 teams have, which is trying to guard Jackson with old weak small Ray Allen like the Cavs tried with Parker for example. We were able to take advantage of that matchup a lot forcing them to double as the C'...
