Thankfully, we had a good playoff game last night so everyone will be talking about the 2017 NBA Playoffs, and not the 2008 Celtics team. It’s crazy that a team who was nine years old received a ton of pub including this blog to start the week. Ray Allen, the subject of many of these discussions, did respond to the criticism in a way where bridges aren’t going to get built any time soon. But Milwaukee Bucks showed their love for their former first round draft pick.

Represent Ray.

They sent this out early Tuesday then another shirt in a different color. It was a subtle yet awesome dig. Allen is an interesting player in Bucks lore. He was the face of Milwaukee’s organization throughout early 2000’s. I know people want to say Glenn Robinson, but Big Dog did not capture the casual fan like Ray did. I hope Allen gets his number retied at Bradley Center with Giannis grandfathered in to wearing 34. He deserves it as well as Big Dog.

Charlie.
