The Celtics (41-9) increased their win streak to 12 in Philly last night with a buzzer beater against the 76ers (24-25). On a night where six Celtics were shooting at least 50% from the field, they went to the sharpest shooter in all the land, Mr. Ray Allen.
Is there anyone in the league more reliable than Allen? You tell him what needs to be done, and he goes out and does it. Need a last second three-pointer? Set him a beautiful screen and get him open like Big Baby Davis did last night, and consider it done.
He's doing it more efficiently than he's done it earlier in his career. If you don't need the ball in your hands for 15-20 seconds, if you can have it in your hands for five seconds of a possession and you're still really good -- that means you're a really good basketball player. And that's what Ray has become with us.
