But, you kind of left at the midway point. Danny Ainge hints at hesitance to retire Ray Allen's number Ray Allen left the Boston Celtics for the Miami Heat nearly eight years ago, but some ill will from that decision may still remain. He was also a three-time All-Star with the Celtics, but that still wasn't enough to convince Holley and Forsberg that his number should be retired.
It was a year ago with Team USA that Brown was routinely tasked with defending 4s, and now he’ll almost certainly be asked to essentially shadow Siakam’s minutes.During the regular season, Siakam scored 23 points against Brown on 10-of-24 shooting with two turnovers, according to the NBA’s defensive tracking data. 5 will join him -- two members of the 2007-08 Celtics team that won it's first NBA title in 22 years -- so why not Allen?Well, Michael Holley and our Celtics insider Chris Forsberg break down their thoughts on the latest episode of the Celtics Talk Podcast -- and Holley had a tremendous point to make about Allen and Garnett's relationship.Let's pretend that Ray Allen wanted to leave and he had the organization's blessing, and he left at the same time and Paul [Pierce] was like 'hey man, Ray [Allen] you have to do what you have to do even though you took less money from Miami,' and KG [Kevin Garnett] instead of ignoring him on opening night in Miami, gives him a big hug and says 'hey Ray, I love you.'

But he can’t sit back on Siakam, who will take open 3-point looks and is even more of a handful when he gets a bit of steam going at the basket.The Raptors have a lot of shooting talent but Siakam is the one player that can routinely erupt for 30-plus points and Brown can’t let him get hot like that.Here’s the most encouraging sign for Boston: In the 57 minutes that Brown and Siakam shared the court this season, the Celtics had a net rating of plus-17.1, including a stellar 91.1 defensive rating in those minutes.Offensively, the Celtics need Brown to knock down 3-pointers when the Raptors give him open looks — he had a trio of third-quarter 3s in that early August meeting — but he’s gotta again thrive on his versatility.
