Ray Allen Goes to Miami

Sorry for the late reaction. I now just got the realization that Ray Allen didn't move to Florida to retire.

Either way, the big three in Boston is over. The 5 seasons during this trio's era is out the window and only one title during it. Ray Allen of the Celtics was a question mark going into free agency and at best he was going to be a bench player moving forward. He's 36 and not the same player he once was. Ray Allen didn't seem to like it that much in Boston but he doesn't seem to mind so much for Miami. Ray Allen has apparently agreed to join the Miami Heat and not simply retire in Miami.

Hey, if you can't beat them, join them. While the Celtics did put up a respectable series against Miami, they did it for the most part without Bosh out there for the Heat. Another year older doesn't help the Celtics' case. I'm sure that Allen didn't like how he was being used either and figured that if he was going to be used like that, he might as well be on a better team.

Feels like the last real threat to Miami's throne in the Eastern Conference is gone and we now wait for a new one to arrive eventually. Perhaps the Nets are on the way to becoming that thorn in the Heat's side.
