Ray Allen's Humility Getting the Best of Him, As Veteran Should Still Be
Starter for Celtics


Ray Allen has always been a humble guy. He's never complained about money, he
doesn't ask for more touches or more shots, and he wouldn't dream of putting
his own ego above the team. In a league full of neurotic superstars, Ray is
the rare modest one.

Perhaps too modest.
Speaking with reporters in Dorchester on Thursday afternoon, Allen, who turns
36 in July, gave a surprisingly candid quote in which he said he wouldn't
mind coming off the bench next season. After four years and 312 games as the
Celtics' starting shooting guard, the veteran says he'd be OK with a change.

Allen has played 1,102 games in his distinguished 15-year career. He's come
off the bench in exactly three of them. But he sees the potential for a shift
into the sixth-man role at the tail end of his career, allowing newcomer Jeff
Green to sneak into the starting five in his first full season.

"To me, however I can help the team, it'll figure itself out," Allen said,
according to ESPN.com. "It's weird that guys have always looked at it like
coming off the bench is such a bad thing. ... But when you're on a winning
team, winning the game is the ultimate objective, so that's my primary
concern. I want to win."

He's saying all the right things. He's been cast in Boston as the star
without ego, and this all rings true. But is he right? If he wants to be a
winner, is coming off the bench really the answer?

Doc Rivers has been saying for years that he's never lost a playoff series
with his starting five healthy and intact. His old starting five has gone by
the wayside with Kendrick Perkins gone, but the four-man nucleus remains
intact. Ray, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo are the four guys
leading this team. Everyone else is secondary.

Having those four on the floor together is crucial. Every play Doc calls, the
four of them know it cold and can run it seamlessly. That's a huge advantage
that most teams in today's NBA can't possibly have. Sure, the fifth guy is
different now -- it's looking like Jermaine O'Neal, unless something crazy
happens this summer to shake things up -- but the big four are in charge.



個人覺得以下才是重點...


Why tamper with that?

Danny Ainge has said this summer that he doesn't want to put young,
inexperienced players under Doc. That doesn't mean benching Green, but it
does imply that continuity is important to these Celtics, more so now than
ever. This could be their last chance to win a championship before a likely
rebuilding effort in 2012 threatens their status as contenders. Now, of all
times, is not a time to be shaking things up.

Jeff Green will grow into a bigger role on the Celtics -- he's too promising
a player not to -- but there's no reason he can't grow into that role from
off the bench. Every great team needs a great sixth man, and for now, that
should be his role.

After 2012, though, we can talk.


各位覺得呢???
