I'm gonna grab some Duff and right after work i'm going to sit on my Lay-Z-Boy and watch this game, tell my friends not to disturb me, cause i'm all in this game.

I doubt that Rondo is going renegade on Doc right now. It's completely Doc's fault that Rondo has been running the offense all the damn time.

WHERE THE **** IS LEON POWE!!!! perk and baby stunk up the floor, ray didn't do dick, KG was the only bright side to an entire team.

TONYALLEN42 · 05-16-2008, 07:59 PM

Offensive rebounding and second chance points are the reason we lost this game, 16-7 in offensive rebounds. Just horrendous basketball, someone needs to step up other than KG on Sunday or else we will be screwed. I cant even begin to express the level of frustration I am feeling, I can imagine how the players feel.

**Marcus13** · 05-16-2008, 08:25 PM

damn, hard to stay motivated when the refs blatantly screw you out of a game like that

The offense has been running MUCH better with Ray in the game. He has been brilliant in distributing the ball. He hasn't been able to get shots off in his double and triple teams coming off of screens and picks but he been exceptional at finding the wide open man.

i guess we have different definiteions of "caught fire" then....how dare doc bench ray allen when he is exceptionally passing the ball to a wide open guy...fire!!

i dont mean to sound like an *** but marcus not even you should be commending anything ray allen has done in the playoffs...he has been garbage

TONYALLEN42 · 05-16-2008, 09:16 PM

every aspect of ray's game has been going at all cylinders except for the shooting, which happens to be the place we need him the most. He really isent able to get any good shots off, and the shots he does get off he seems to be forcing just to try to get into a rhythm. He has been stellar at the line and has been making good passes to find the open man.

Why not bench Ray? Because he is running the offense better than anybody else on this team at this point. Im not trying to say that Ray has been playing great basketball by at all, I'm just saying he's been far from "garbage" as you're referring to him. I understand that he's a shooter who hasn't been able to shoot, but he has been contributing to the offense in other ways. Not to mention, it's not like he has been hurting us by missing a large quantity of shots like another struggling member of the "Big Three"

Wow.

Pierce is matched up with the best SF and best player in the league.

Allen is matched up with the stiffest starting SG position in the league.

Pierce manages to shoot a higher percentage and score 6 more points a game on an All-Defensive material player, and Ray barely gets 10 a game on lower percentages, on a horrible defender. Thats pretty pathetic to compare them, considering that Pierce has his energy drained from guarding LeBron, and Ray is guarding Szczerbiak. And he can't even do that, Szczerbiak is outscoring his ***. And on the flip side, Pierce is one of the main reasons why LeBron is held 4-5 points under his average, is shooting below 33%, and is getting 6 turnovers a game.

And the reason Pierce is taking a lot of shots despite having a nightmare of a matchup is that no one else wants to take over or hit pivotal shots. Garnett is just not wired that way and is not that type of player, and Ray is just playing like a 10th man right now. And look what happened the past two games. His big shots in Game 5 helped secure a win and kept us in the game last night, until the refs had to gift wrap the game to the Cavs.

Don't even compare their struggles. If Ray would just step his *** up, guard friggin Wally Szczerbiak and filled the scoring void, we wouldn't be in this position.
