“It will be a long story about that, but it is what it is,” Rondo, who plays for the Chicago Bulls, told The Undefeated. “I don’t know a good analogy to put this in. It just wasn’t the greatest separation. It wasn’t the greatest thing that could’ve happened to us as a team, a bond. We were at war with those guys [Miami]. To go with the enemy, that’s unheard-of in sports. Well, it’s not so unheard of. It’s damn near common now.

“The mindset we had. The guys on our team. You wouldn’t do anything like that. It makes you question that series in the Finals … Who were you for? You didn’t bleed green. People think we had a messed-up relationship. It’s not the greatest. But it’s not just me. I called and reached out to a couple of other vets and asked them what they wanted to do with the situation. They told me to stick with what we got [without Allen].”

any competition that you face in the playoffs is your rivals
Nah not like the Celtics vs Heat and again really Celtics vs Bron at that time...

Cavs and warriors are now rivals
Warriors vs clippers is a rivalry

There has to be a serious hate for each other to become a rivalry.

the Celtics Front office KEPT Ray's name in trade rumors those last couple years, but he should have stayed? :heh:

didn't they at one point actually tell Ray he had been traded only for the trade to fall through?

them cats petty.


people gonna remember Ray's game 6 shot with the Heat over anything those celtics did anyway :mjpls:


And benched him for a young Avery Bradley. They were disrespecting him the last couple years, but the "band" doesnt seem to acknowledge or care about that part.

I wonder if.. had the the Celtics Brass had their way and the trade would have went through if they would have refused to speak to him then..:jbhmm:

Ray put in major work as a Celtic and his commitment to the team was never questioned. They don't have to like his decision but at least he took control of his own destiny and made his own decision as a man.

Fukk all that "blood & guts" boy scout bullshyt. Dude made the best decision for himself and his family...something he's completely entitled to.

They dont get to celebrate a 10 year anniversary if it wasn't for the efforts of Ray Allen anyway

The team was playing a lot better with Bradley starting. Anyone who thinks that was a bad decision for the team is a moron plain and simple.

I bet it's deeper than him going to Miami. I read somewhere that Ray isn't really a people person at all and doesn't try to front like he is. He doesn't socialize with players outside of the arena, doesn't do the player bonding shyt. KG and Paul are the complete opposite of that. There was probably already lowkey tension or hard feelings that guys suppressed and when Ray dipped it was a wrap and niccas could act on how they really felt.
