The HAWKS, BOBCATS,any young team with athletes will give Boston fits because of matchup problems. Ray has never been a good one on one defender, KG is a better help defender, Boston thrives on team offense and defense. What they needed was to play matchup and counter the athletes with set rotations on d and play off the ball more with Ray. One you can’t judge Ray based on this series alone.

Man, one tougher round and you wants someone's head down. Ok, itwas a way harder than expected against a lowly team like the Hawks but i think it's unnecessary to think who they should trade or not until it's not over.. and come on, J-Howard? just not makes sense Ray is a big part of the Celtic’s success and he is a way more than just a shooter but he accepts his role and play unselfish.

It's obvious he's lost a step, and he can't guard anyone. Why would a team trade a defensive stud like Marion or Howard for Ray? Considering his contract, there's no way the Celtics could get equal value. There’s is no F-in way any team trades anyone good for Ray Allen. It’s obvious he’s lost a step, and he can’t guard anyone.

I love his game. His jumper is a little funny looking, but hey, if it works I guess it works. The celtics need to get back to playing team ball again. Running effecient offensive sets and switching and rotating on defense with perkins and Garnett manning the middle. The Hawks were just running those boys out of the gym, I remember in Game 4 I think, when Joe Johnson and Josh Smith were running a two man clinic on em. I was like why isn't Perkins or Garnett stepping up on the block when he see's that Ray allen is constantly getting beat off the dribble. And it wasn't like Atlanta was setting picks for Ray to fight through. He was just breaking ray's ankles and getting to the lane at free will. It was ridiculous. The celtics are effective when they work as a team, and when they don't, they suck. Paul Peirce is a strong guy for his size and can pretty much get to the hole anytime he wants to. I love his game.
