He Got Game!



I love this play from last night. What you can't see is Ray Allen waving off Kevin Garnett when he tries to come over for the screen.That's one of the best parts of this possession. Ray says no thanks I got this!

From Yahoo Sports:

"Allen, one of the game’s purest shooters, then drove to the basket and made a reverse layup as dramatic as the Celtics’ comeback.“It was huge,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. 'It was really supposed to be a middle pick-and-roll with Kevin and Ray, and Ray waved Kevin off because he liked the matchup that he had already, so he didn’t want to bring another defender in to help. It was a great call by Ray. The layup was just tremendous.'"


Oh poor Sasha. What's wrong? Face it you just got burnt.



I loved seeing Ray Allen so confident and aggressive, no doubt he could school Sasha one on one. He wasn't given up that ball for anything. He's the best free throw shooter in the history of the game. Lakers didn't want him going to the line and if anyone was going to the line in that possession Ray made sure it would be him. He didn't need to though apparently the Lakers thought Sasha could defend Ray one on one.

He Got Game!
