Why are you hating on them?
So what if they are inconsistent shooters, why can't you appreciate them both for what they are and do as great players.
Please stop hating.

Yep, Game 5 should always go to the team with homecourt advantage. Hopefully with Stern on his way out, the league will come to its senses and go back to the 2-2-1-1-1. Funny thing is, I heard it was Red Auerbach who was one of the biggest voices for the 2-3-2 format after the '84 Finals.

But I have to defend myself, I am not a casual "big three" hater. I hate the Heat since 06 when they beat my Mavs in such a bad manner. That's why I also hate Wade. He usually would be a player to my liking as he wasn't as hyped as other players when drafted and is more of a killer (unlike LBJ) when healthy. But 06 changed it all. That's why I hate the Heat. And also because of 2011 coughin action, cheering in front of the Mavs bench etc etc.
I got so much satisfaction from that 2011 finals when my Mavs won it, and I still get somehow satisfied when the Heat lose. It's just the way it is.

The guy wasn't wanted, the club didn't love him, and teammates didn't want him. And Ray in surprise, didn't want more money but wanted to go where he could be appreciated. It isn't much different from people hating on Nash just because he took his talent to Cali.

- Coming off the bench behind Avery was a dagger. But Jason Terry signing was a fatal blow to his pride and an imminent threat to his role.
- Money aside, what did the Celtics really offer? Loyalty? Ring chance? Or maybe friendly locker room? What was in it for Ray if he re-signed?
- Even you were saying, Terry was the better guy for the Celtics. Wasn't that the general supportive move for Ray among Celtics fans anyways? Don't tell me that's your way of 'I wanted RAY back!'.
- The Celtics were fondling with ideas of trading Ray Allen. Now that's 'wanting'.
He'd have been a disposable service at best and was being treated like one indeed. Diehard Celtics fans took him for granted but were butthurt when he was gone.

Ray Allen...signed by the HEAT as a free agent on July 11, 2012
The Celtics signed Jason Terry to a deal on July 13, 2012.
