Allen Takes Step Toward Game 3 Return

5/3
WALTHAM, Mass. – It’s been a story of one step forward and one step back
for Ray Allen’s right ankle over the past week.
That sore ankle has prevented Allen from playing in a game since April 10,
forcing him to miss several key games down the stretch of the regular season
and the first two games of the playoffs. He has been doing everything he can
to return to the lineup for the postseason, but every time he pushes the
ankle to its limits it screams back at him to stop.
“There will be a Monday where I feel pretty good, then Tuesday it’s like, ‘
It’s not happening today,’ “ Allen said Thursday morning.
Despite the negative feedback his ankle has been giving him, Allen pushed his
right wheel yet again this afternoon in Waltham, Mass. He made it through the
90-minute practice without incident and remains a game-time decision.
The last time Allen attempted this was on Monday, when he went through
shooting and running drills at the team’s practice at Georgia Tech. The
semi-practice went so well for Allen that Doc Rivers claimed Tuesday evening
that he had been “almost positive” that No. 20 was going play in Game 2.
That is until Allen woke up Tuesday morning and could barely walk, according
to Rivers.
Allen and his ankle have been afforded 72 hours to recoup from that Monday
workout and he now feels good enough to give it another run – literally.
“I do feel good today… I can’t say that I don’t,” Allen said before the
team’s practice. “I definitely am practicing today, so for me that’s – I’
m excited about it.”
And so is the rest of the team. The absence of Allen in this series has
caused Boston’s offense to bog down. Atlanta has made a conscious decision
to pack its defense in around the paint since the league’s all-time 3-point
shooter isn’t out there as an outside threat.
“Clearly, without Ray, they’re using both guards to just sit in the paint,
and we have to do a better job of creating space,” Rivers said on Thursday.
“It’s tough when you have two guards that they’re just not guarding, and
that makes it difficult on Kevin (Garnett). It reminds me of Perk and Rondo
early on; it was a big and a guard (sitting in the paint back then). Now it’
s two guards who are quick, and they can go and jab at the ball.”
As a result of that compact Hawks defense, the Celtics have shot just 40.1
percent from the field in the first two games of this series and made just
three of their 25 3-point attempts. Boston doesn’t need Allen to hop back
into the lineup and play 40 minutes to help the offense create more spacing.
His presence will be felt even if it comes in limited action.
Said Rivers, “I’d rather take 10 minutes of him on the floor than nothing
if that’s what it comes to.”
Allen will be out on the practice floor for much more than 10 minutes today.
He’s practiced with his team for the first time in a long time, albeit under
the watchful eye of Rivers and the medical staff. However, as the head coach
stated minutes before that practice began, Allen’s practice session today isn
’t really what matters. Instead, tomorrow is the day that will determine
whether Allen will dress for Game 3 in a jersey and shorts or a suit.
“Tomorrow matters a lot more. Tomorrow matters,” Rivers said. “He’s going
to practice, but it’s going to be under my watch.
“If he practices today and doesn’t play tomorrow, I’m going to be upset
with myself.”
If Rivers is upset with himself tomorrow, we’ll know that the same old story
has played itself again: one step forward and one step back.
The Hawks better watch out if Rivers isn’t upset with himself heading into
Game 3, because that means Allen will be taking two steps onto the parquet
floor for the first time in nearly a month.
雷槍一直都無所不用其極地回到場上
星期一練習以為almost positive結果星期二醒來...幾乎不能走路
現在又過了三天休息 雷槍準備今天再試一次 (偉哉雷槍QQ)
所以明天能不能打就看他明天這狀況了= =
前兩場命中率才40.1% 三分球3-25
Doc真的很希望有雷槍在場上 10分鐘也好 比甚麼都沒有好(狂射10分鐘吧)
雷槍可以產生空間 讓對方後衛不會一直放我們的後衛 黏死KG
(我想PP不是打卡上班黏都黏不上 要不然就是自動休息站很遠所以不用黏XD)

Allen will need offseason surgery
http://ppt.cc/toZE (Boston Globe)
4/29
Frank Dell’Apa
Ray Allen revealed Saturday that he will need offseason surgery to remove
bone spurs from his right ankle, the same procedure he underwent in 2007 on
both ankles just months before joining the Celtics.
Allen missed the last nine games of the regular season and is questionable
for Sunday’s Game 1 of the first-round series against the Hawks. He had a
cortisone shot Thursday but said he is only delaying the inevitable.
“I know it’s weak, but I still have pain in it,’’ said Allen. “It feels
better. If I could, I would get surgery tomorrow. If it was the beginning of
the season, I would have surgery.
“It’s just inevitable, talking to a couple of different doctors.”
Call to glory days
Ubuntu is back. The word emerged as a rallying cry for the Celtics in their
2007-08 championship season and remained a part of their vocabulary until
this season, when coach Doc Rivers nixed it.
“We had too many new guys,’’ Rivers said.
So for most of the season, when the Celtics concluded a workout, they met in
a huddle with arms raised and hands together, saying, “Celtics’’ in
unison. Now, when the hands go up, the chorus is, “ubuntu,’’ as in the
previous four seasons.
Ubuntu has African origins and refers to “humaneness,’’ or “sense of
solidarity,’’ according to the website isiZulu.net. The Celtics’ adoption
of it as a theme coincided with the 2007 arrival of Allen and Kevin Garnett,
plus part-time assistant coach Thierry Kita Matungulu, who is from Cape Town.
Ubuntu also describes a way of life in South Africa, an intangible feeling of
common cause. Rivers believes the Celtics’ newcomers are now getting it. And
Garnett has been advocating for its revival.
“Kevin understands it best,’’ said Rivers. “He’s the one who was
pitching for it all year. And I told him no, I wouldn’t allow it. I didn’t
think we were there yet - until about a month ago.’’
Keeping it close
Rajon Rondo led the league in assists (11.7 per game) but he also has been
concentrating on limiting turnovers (3.6 per game) in preparation for the
first-round playoff series against the Hawks.
“We can’t turn the ball over,’’ Rivers said. “They are great in
transition. They like the three, and we have to guard both.
“They spread the floor and try to take you off the dribble. That’s one of
our weaknesses and one of their strengths. That’s why all the games are
close against them, so we have to do a better job.’’
This season, the Celtics took victories by scores of 79-76 and 88-86 in
overtime over the Hawks and lost to Atlanta, 97-92.
Bench marks
The Celtics will be counting on Mickael Pietrus to defend against the Hawks’
reserves, who are led by Tracy McGrady and Marvin Williams.
“Their bench, I think, may be the key to the series,’’ Rivers said. “When
their bench plays well, they don’t lose. They have a lot of guys who can
score off their bench.
“Our bench is good. With Pietrus back, we can match up a little better if
they do go with what we call a ‘small big’ lineup [Joe Johnson, McGrady,
and Williams].’’
Rivers said the Celtics will not attempt to slow things down and turn the
game into a steady half-court battle.
“They’re a great trapping team,’’ Rivers said. “But you’ve got to be
careful. If you think you’re going to post them and win, I think you’d be
kidding yourself. If you look at their stats against post teams, they’ve
done extremely well, because teams focus on that so much they lose the game.
So we can’t do that.
“That’s an area we want to attack through our regular motion - but if you
get caught doing that [posting up] too much, they’ll beat you.’’
No rest for them
The Celtics were faithful to their plans to pace Garnett, who averaged 31
minutes per game, never staying in for longer than 41:03.
“I don’t worry about minutes in the playoffs,’’ Rivers said. “I don’t
want Kevin to go 40 minutes. But, now that the playoffs are here, rest is out
the window.’’
上週六Ray確定需要動骨刺手術 跟07年一樣的位置
雷槍說 如果是季初 他現在馬上就想做手術了 (健康控制狂)
Ubuntu is back. 這個詞已經從07年跟著我們幾年了
但是Doc說這一次有太多新人在球隊上了
不過我們有KG - -b 所以大家還是努力相信著
Doc覺得我們還沒準備好用這個詞 直到一個月前 終於趕上了
關於對手老鷹
Doc說我們絕對要減少TO 防止他們快速攻守轉換(死穴)
老鷹喜歡拉開空間打三分 然後再切入擊潰你 這是為什麼比分會被咬近
這是老鷹的強處但也是弱點 大家要更保護球才行
關於板凳
Doc認為他們板凳的表現可以左右戰果
JJ Tmac 和Williams的後場組合滿高的 而且都會得分
(記得G1 rondo和AB雖然很會防守但還是常常被身高吃)
Doc覺得我們不能完全的慢下來只post up 他們的防守也很好 很會trap
最後關於上場時間
Doc:不好意思這是季後賽 沒得休息
例行賽平均上場31分鐘的KG 現在必須要打40分鐘...

希望美國當地星期五早上的時候 可以聽到雷槍的好消息
