re: Ray Allen to the Heat

quote:

He just shot 30% from 3pt land 39% from the field and 71% from the FT line over his last 18 games. Let's see how he bounces back from the injury first.

He was also playing with bone spurs in his foot during this time.

He shot in the upper 30s against MIA and fixed his FTs that series too. No reason to think bone spurs should affect him after his surgery.

Plus he'll get far more open looks with Miami than he did with Boston. Battier gets tons of open looks and his release is ridiculously slow. Imagine how open Allen will be with that super quick release he has. There's no reason to think Allen will shoot <40% from 3.

And who cares what his % from the field was. He's a 3 point specialist at this point in his career. Of course his FG% was going to be lower than normal people.
