Year Three of Getting Shots for Jesus

Other than overcoming double-ankle surgery, the most notable thing about Ray Allen's first year as a Boston Celtic was the team's inability to find him good looks at the basket on a consistent basis. This continued off and on last year. But I think it's safe to say those days may finally be behind us. While Jesus is shooting only 11-33 from the field, every time I look up, he's hoisting another ball, and the shots are shots Jesus has made time and again over his career. This is good. If he keeps shooting at this percentage, or close thereto, you'll hear critics start to talk about him being over the hill. Celtics' fans shouldn't worry too much. A larger percentage of shots will start to fall pretty soon.

Im with you! ray is my favourite play on the team, and i think now that he's getting his looks its going to make us a much better team!!! and it may also help us spread the floor, i mean the team already knows how to get kg, and the truth the looks they need! so now jesus's ankle's are fixed he's gonna be deadly!! i think he may even get to the rim a little more...

I think it took me a while to understand you need to give ray his shots and regardless of whether they fall or not, you need to keep giving him his shots and he needs to keep shooting.
