“It’s going to be a little weird, you know, but Ray (Allen) made the best decision for him,” (Paul) Pierce said. “And that’s what pretty much it’s all about. You get in these situations, you get in free agency, you make a decision what’s best for you and your family.

“Ray will always be a brother for me. If it wasn’t for him I probably wouldn’t be wearing a championship ring. So the things he was able to do for this organization will never be forgotten.”

Pierce was then asked if he’s talked to Allen since the season ended. He gave a response that probably echoes the rest of the team’s sentiments.

“Couple texts. You know, I’m a little bitter that he went to Miami, but he’s still a brother of mine.”

Brother off the court, perhaps, but now enemies on it.
