Introducing the Pistons new secret weapon…Walter Ray Allen. He’s been a savior for the Pistons in this series.
It’s kind of ironic how I’m hoping one of the best pure shooters in the game shoots it every time he touches the rock. Most times he’s not even close. My only fear is that the Pistons have good box outs. Allen is averaging 14.8 ppg in these ECF, and that’s in large part to a 25 point outing in Boston’s game 2 loss. Allen is a .45% shooter from the floor for his career and .40% from beyond the arc over his 11 years in the L. In this series he’s at .38% from the floor (19/50) and .21% from beyond the arc (3/14), and that’s actually an improvement from his second round numbers.
It’s not just on offense either. Ray Ray is a dual-threat liability getting abused by whom ever he’s checking while averaging 3.3 fouls through four games.
I don’t care what he’s accomplished up to this point, he’s awful. I’m thrilled that Boston keeps sticking with him whether it be for lack of a better option or in hopes he’ll break out of his funk. What ever the case keep it up Doc!
(ps- He Got Game sucked!)

Well I agree with you about Ray being our secret weapon, it’s going to be interesting to see what he does tomorrow at home. I knew he wasn’t going to hurt us on the road because he barely got out of the slump in game 2 but let’s wait to see what he can do tomorrow.
