Ray Allen

Kevin Garnett isn’t going anywhere. The Boston Celtics reached a proverbial crossroad when they lost Rajon Rondo to a torn ACL for the rest of the season (and beyond?). Given what his playmaking abilities meant to this team, there are few things that the Celtics wouldn’t consider doing to instill some sort of change. Dealing [...]

Ray Allen remains one of the NBA’s best shooters, but we may not get the opportunity to bear witness to such talents for much longer. Though the 37-year-old Allen signed a three-year pact with the Miami Heat, the next two are both player options. Contracts never prevent players from retiring in the first place, but [...]

Joel Anthony doesn’t look like much, but to the Miami Heat, he means everything. Though the big man has never been much of an offensive player (2.6 points per game for his career), he is a rim-protecting savant, someone who the Heat actually utilized more than slightly last season. But that was then and this [...]

For a certain part of the playoffs last year, Ray Allen was off for a bit. Many contributed that too his bad ankle, making it tough for him to get proper lift. Well, that same ankle is still bothering him. We’ll have to wait and see if him impacts his game. With a week left [...]

Ray Allen was a third wheel on an old sports car. With fellow aging stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, Allen and the Celtics some times seemed faster than their age, seemingly overwhelming opponents. That of course is the description fitting a Celtics team that fought its way to a 2007-2008 NBA championship. The Celtics of more [...]

The Boston Celtics are officially Rajon Rondo’s team, a reality that has been a long time coming. But the organization must be careful not to lean on him too hard, too soon. There’s no questioning Rondo’s abilities. He’s one of the league’s best ball-handlers and passers, he thrives in transition, breaks down defenses in his [...]

The last couple of seasons we have seen just how tough it is to beat Miami’s ‘Big Three’ in a 7-game series. Sure the Mavs pulled it off for the title two years ago, but this season Miami proved they could win when it counted and the Big Three became champions. Everyone knows that defending [...]

September 21, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim Austin Rivers has talent. He also has opinions. As the off-season winds down, it can safely be said said that Doc Rivers’ kid is pretty well-spoken. He’s given some smooth interviews, showing a natural approach. He hasn’t shied away too much. On an interview before the draft, on the [...]

September 17, 2012 – Rob De France 7’1, 325 lb. rapper, actor, TNT analyst, and 15-time All-Star, the always irreverent Shaquille O’Neal criticized Dwight Howard’s move to the Los Angeles Lakers, a move which so closely mirrors O’Neal’s own defection from the Orlando Magic 16 years earlier. Howard can only hope to enjoy similar success [...]

Louis Williams to Atlanta Hawks The Hawks brought in the offensive engine that made the Philadelphia 76ers go last season, as he scored a career-high [...]
