LeClutch kicking it out to Ray Ray for three :cry

[tesseractive]

Will they play much smallball with Ray on the court with Wade and LeBron at the same time, or will he mostly be a 3rd wing?

[LkrFan]

That's a great signing for the Heat. Are those bone spurs gone though?

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA

Ray Allen turned down double the money, a no-trade clause and familiarity of Boston to sign with Miami. There has to be more to this story.

Wow :wow

Privately, Ray Allen had insisted to people that he didn't believe the city of Boston would be too hard on him for signing with Miami.

It's called not wanting to waste the rest of his career on a TOSB team, tbh...

Ray wasn't fond of Rondo.

He wants to retire on top.

The deterioration of Ray Allen’s relationship with Rajon Rondo played a significant factor in his leaving for Miami, several sources tell Y!

Wow, I thought this was another troll thread until checking Arison's twitter. :lol

I can't see where Allen fits on this team tbh. He's used to getting tons of screens and you never see that kind of movement in Spoelstra's offense. I have my doubts on this signing and I wonder if it will be as disastrous as when the Lakers tried to make a similar player in Glen Rice into a spot-up shooter.

[baseline bum]

[racm]

Eh, he'll be more consistent than Mike Miller was.

Also CelticsBlog is so butthurt.

:lol This... someone actually compared Ray Ray's BBIQ to RICKY DAVIS, tbh...

[DMC]

Eh, he'll be more consistent than Mike Miller was.

Not more than he was in game 5 though.

[racm]

Mike Miller did his best Ray Allen impression in Game 5, then the Heat go and get the real thing...

:lmao

RT @HPbasketball
Well, hey , Ray did have a down year, I'm sure he didn't shoot THAT much better from 3 than Jason Te... 45%-38%. OH.

an open 3 is an open 3 tbh

[scanry]

On paper Ray looks like a very good signing, but without the screens as Baseline brought up, will he be effective?

Has he ever shot well without the screens? We may have to go back to his Connecticut days to find out.

El, any details on the contract?

[scanry]

an open 3 is an open 3 tbh

Huh, i'd take ^ that back. :lol

[benefactor]

:lol Judas Shuttlesworth
:lol

[Josepatches_]

He gests tons of screens because nobody wants to leave him alone. Not because he shoots better after screens than a wide open shot. The screens are made to give him those open shots.Same Reggie Miller or any other greatest shooter in the history

With LeBron and Wade it will be easy to get those open 3s. He's older but he will have more stamina without run off screen after screen

[Ace]

Wade
Allen
Battier
James
Bosh

[Koolaid_Man]

:lol

If we don't get Dwight and B Rush (or J Rich) then Miami will be the favs to win it again

[LkrFan]

Maybe the Lakers can swoop in and snatch Jones from them. That kid can shoot.

[racm]

especially since all he needs to do is spot up and wait for LeBron/Wade to be double teamed.

Of course Doc will emphasize guarding him even if it means not doubling LeBron/Wade since he knows Allen's shot is worth more than a drive to the basket.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Don't see Phillibeaner utilizing Ray Allen any better than he utilizes other spot up shooters

[LkrFan]

Wade
Allen
Battier
James
Bosh

How many mpg for Ray Ray? I'm interested to see how him and Wade coexist on the floor together.

[Koolaid_Man]

Wade
Allen
Battier
James
Bosh

X Fingers and Knock on Wood...but hopefully that will be against:

Kobe
Dwight
Gasol
Nash
Artest

[racm]

LkrFan I think that's their end-of-game lineup.

The problem is that Chalmers is far more clutch and can contribute far more than spot up 3s/3s off screens.

[ploto]

I bet he ends up not having that great of a year.

[Ace]

Tbh, wasn't thrilled with Allen because Spo won't be able to draw up an offense to use him. He will come up big in clutch situations with the Big 3 drawing attention. So I guess it's not that bad having a consistent shooter.

[LkrFan]

If we don't get Dwight and B Rush (or J Rich) then Miami will be the favs to win it again

B Rush is a real possibility. I'd rather him than J Rich. I hear we reached out to Jodie Meeks too. The Lakers' FO is trying to get younger and add depth/shooters to the lineup. They ain't done yet. Nash was just the first shoe to drop.

[Ace]

He will help with keeping Wade's minutes down, doubt they'll see much time together other than end game situations.

:lol Pingalore
:lol Claiming ONCE AGAIN that a Dwight trade is coming
:lol "Sources" that can't even reveal where Dwight will be traded to, but can freely claim the Nets are out

[LkrFan]

if it doesn't I won't be as optimistic about our chances...Bynum should not be the recipient of Nash's generosity

That's where we disagree hommie. I want D-12 in P&G as much as the next Laker fan. However, Bynum gave us about 19/12/2 without playing with a PG like Nash. He'll go 20/10 in his sleep with Nash.

If we add shooters and bench depth we'll be fine. Nash will force teams to deal with our biggest strength: our bigs. You can't double/triple our bigs and live to tell about it with Nash out there (with Kobe).

90/50/40. Nash shot over 90% from the line. Over 50% from the field. 40+% from downtown. This is with playing with the likes of Gortat :lol Dudley :lol Shannon Brown :lol Frye :lol and G Hill :lol. Now he has inherited way more talent. Bynum or Howard will be the recipient of his brilliant PG play.

[Latarian Milton]

solid signing imho, having a consistent scorer from outside the arc will help spread the opposing defense and hence make it much easier for them nigs to drive inside. just sign a big and we'll have a perfect squad yeah

we STACKED!!! :lobt: :lobt::lobt2:

[Latarian Milton]

How many mpg for Ray Ray? I'm interested to see how him and Wade coexist on the floor together.

as long as we can accommodate wade/bron on the same floor there ain't no problem in wade/ray coexisting you piece of shit. allen will benefit alot from the style of game bron/wade play, getting numerous wide open shots & raining 3's for fun


or maybe we can even play wade off the bench:

1st unit: bosh/battier/bron/allen/chalmers

2nd unit: anthony/haslem/miller/wade/cole

even our second unit would trump most other teams in the east tbh, we STACKED

If the Lakers get DH, Phil Jackson will be upstairs sucking off Buss to get his job back.

[TIMMYtoZO]

At first I didn't like this move, but now I LOVE it. This means Miller will retire, but at least he went out with a bang.

[024]

kind of makes sense for the heat since their strategy is to just keep rotating in shooters until they find someone that can nail the three when lebron kicks it out. would still like to see them get a big. they would have lost it all if bosh didn't return. if they get a decent bosh insurance, lebron can win with or without him.

[LkrFan]

Nah, Phil won't attempt to coach Kobe and a pussyhurt gasol again. Either he coaches Brooklyn with Deron & D12 or retires.

He's already retired. :lol

Dynasty right here. Fuck all other teams who think they have a chance. Just give us the next 5 rings.

If the Lakers get Dwight, i see them coming out of the West and could very well beat the Heat.

You'all should've rang in 2011. The heat still have some issues especially with the Philibeaner and at the C.

I'll say this again, Wade getting hurt in the Reg season was the reason why you'all won the championship. Lebron was a fool to not take the reigns from D Wade last year and with him side lined, Lebron got his opportunity and the rest is history.

[racm]

Honestly I wonder why the Heat haven't had a 60+ win season yet, even if they have LeBron.

[Venti Quattro]

The Lakers only had one 60-win season in the last four seasons that they truly contended for a title. 16 > 60.

Sam Amico (http://twitter.com/SamAmicoFSO/status/221612490293915650): Ray Allen, who left Celtics for Heat, reportedly had major problems w/PG Rajon Rondo. "Jealousy issue," opposing GM said. "Ray's that way."


Sam Amico (http://twitter.com/SamAmicoFSO/status/221613918462812160): GM added Allen "wanted to go Hollywood" but that role "got to be played by Kobe. Ray never liked him. Kobe was winning, getting endorsements, playing in LA. Kobe didn't do anything wrong, Ray just wanted that type of fame." And now, "Allen doesn't like the fact he's fading and Rondo is rising."

ohhh wooooow

:lmao Jealous Shuttlesworth :lmao

[Kai]

Tbh that doesn't sound like Ray at all. Sounds like a bitter rival GM.

[Bill_Brasky]

Ray was jealous of Rondo....so he goes to a team w/ Lebron/Wade? Sounds kinda made up.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ray Allen is the fakest class guy in the league, he's the Ladanian Tomlinson of the NBA..however, I don't necessarily believe these reports..Rondo seems like a faggot, tbh..

Rondo very likely has "diva" qualities to his personality... and a few "emo" ones too.

I understand where Ray Ray is coming from, tbh... I hate Rondo too....

our squad ain't perfect and i ain't denying it, which means we can still improve. if we got an upgrade at C and a better coach we'd have the most stacked squad since jordan & the bulls, but we're still ALOT better than any NBA team even with the current squad

WE STACKED

Even when you try to use big words you sound retarded you fuck. Please go crawl in a hole and die, you fucking douschebag, foreskin-loving fucker.

I hate you so much more than any troll. You literally are the shit we scrape for our shoes you fucking fuck. Go get ass raped by Kobe with a smile on your shit eating grin, you fuck.

You're a retarded shithead with a computer. That's all you'll ever be. I come onto this site looking for decent BB knowledge and it's littered with your garbage threads/comments. Fuck off.

Statistically, he really wasn't that great, but he came through in big moments like D.Fish or Horry did for the Lakers, you need those kind of players if you want to keep winning, tbh, they won't always have great games but when you need someone to make a big shot in the last second they'll swish it ice cold.
