	Log in to remove this sponsored message Big game on Sunday between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, and to make it even bigger: it's Ray Allen's first game in Boston since taking his talents to South Beach. It'll be interesting to see the type of reaction that he gets from the home fans. Personally, I'm expecting some cheers, but a healthy number of boos and a "You Sold Out!" chant because on my end of things that can easily be the taken perspective. After all, he took less money to leave town and went to the most heated rival of his former team, and if that isn't selling out I don't know what is. ------------------- Proving the misperceptions of Asperger's Syndrome wrong to people since 1985, and will continue to do so as long as I live.

	I usually don't use the "selling out" malarkey but Ray Allen's case is as close as it gets. LeBron's probably briefing him through how it's gonna be like. Hey-ohh! also, happy for Noah and Deng.

	I still don't care about Allen leaving. Like I liked him and all but I just don't give a shit. I'm down in dc right now. Went to the wizards and bulls game tonight. That was legit. It's funny though cause literally no one was wearing wizards gear. I saw a shit load of people rocking bulls stuff but no wizard gear. Anywhere. None. Super weird. It was full though so at least they sell tickets. ------------------- 1, 2, 3, 4

	Hornets should get either Big Al or Millsap and pair him with Davis in the frontcourt.

	Horrible news for Boston fans: Rajon Rondo OUT FOR SEASON with a Torn ACL. Source Just heard this during the game. There goes the chances of the Celtics winning Banner #18 this year, or what was left of them. ------------------- Proving the misperceptions of Asperger's Syndrome wrong to people since 1985, and will continue to do so as long as I live.

	Saw that during the game, tough break for the Cs. It's even more of a blow considering he's Mr. triple-double, meaning they'll have to drastically adjust their strategies and mechanics for the remainder of the season. quote Demonfurby How exactly is it selling out if he took less money? Literally the opposite Well for one, he's getting old. Retirement's looming around him. he was always gonna get less money.. of course, varying degrees depending on the team. And even if he's gotten less money, money is barely a factor compared to the motive which is focused on, seeking a title(which I don't hold against players for wanting, so I wouldn't villanize Allen as much). But either way the guy's getting paid millions so it's not really a factor. Instinctively anyway, 3/4 of the talented players in the league look out for a huge(or bigger) contract when they're defecting to another team. The main part is that it's just no secret Miami and Boston clubs have been at each other's throats for the past few seasons. Miami Heat must be looked at as Bandwagon City by now. so it must be a stingy feel for some of them.

	quote The Hazard Saw that during the game, tough break for the Cs. It's even more of a blow considering he's Mr. triple-double, meaning they'll have to drastically adjust their strategies and mechanics for the remainder of the season. Mr. Triple-Double indeed. Over the past couple seasons no one else has come close to the number of Triple-Doubles that Rajon Rondo has. quote The Hazard The main part is that it's just no secret Miami and Boston clubs have been at each other's throats for the past few seasons. Miami Heat must be looked at as Bandwagon City by now. so it must be a stingy feel for some of them. Before the Heat and Celtics, the Dolphins and Patriots have had their rivalry that stretches back to the days in which Dan Marino was the Dolphins Quarterback. So the Boston/Miami rivalry isn't foreign to me. EDIT: Double Overtime AGAIN? Oh jeez... EDIT2: BALLGAME! Celtics outlast Heat by 2 in Double Overtime! That was a damn good game! Going forward, it'll be interesting to see how the Celtics rally without Rondo.

	That's a saving grace for Boston if I've ever seen it. Funny how the commentators were quick to point out Garnett wasn't part of the greeting committee when Allen was giving his props to the opposing team, hahaha. Very suspensful game, of course most double OTs are. Celtics played that crazy D.

I'd say that it'd be selling out if a player took more money from a team when he has a chance to get another ring from the champs. He's a hall of famer after all, he should want to be a great as possible and build his legacy. Just me though. ------------------- really cool free game

	It'd be one thing if he had been a Celtic his whole career but he wasn't. He didn't owe the city of Boston anything. He went to the Celtics for the exact same reason he went to the Heat. No harm, no foul. He got a standing ovation at the game too. I'm glad he did. He earned it. ------------------- 1, 2, 3, 4

	I'd like to know what some of those fools at ESPN were thinking when they said that the Celtics should blow it up (even Bill Simmons was going along with that idea). Honestly, I don't think that blowing it up is the answer, even after the Rajon Rondo injury. This group of talent can still make a run, but they need to keep their foot on the gas for the rest of the season. ------------------- Proving the misperceptions of Asperger's Syndrome wrong to people since 1985, and will continue to do so as long as I live.

	They're not gonna win the title, but at the same time, their only real tradable assets are Pierce (who will and should retire as a Celtic), Bass and Terry. So they're not really gonna get anything done this year, but they really do need to blow it up and get a fast run and gun team around Rondo.
