	Does anyone sense a tension between these two players? It seems to me that Ray doesn't like Richard Hamilton. Ray left UConn in 95' and Rip came there in 96', so seeing that they didn't overlap maybe there is a jealousy or maybe there was a falling out. Is Ray jealous of Rips championship success both with UConn and with the Pistons? I was just curious if anyone else had felt the same way, or if I'm crazy.

	I think if there is any tension it is brought on by Rip pushing off near the head and pulling the jersey of Allen most of the game. That would get me heated

	Lets be honest, they are both pulling each others jerseys all game. But since game 1, it seems like they hate each other. Which is weird, most guys I've seen that played for the same college or university seem to joke around and get along. But not these two. I realize that this is the playoffs, so there is a lot at stake, but come on.

	Let's not forget that these two guys are arguably the two best from Uconn, and if you pair that with NBA egos and the Eastern Conference Finals, you know there is going to be some animosity. I mean, we all know in three and a half weeks these two are going to be swimming off some French Mediterranean island together, playing the dozens, but right now its pride time. I cant stand my friends if there is pride or money riding, but Ray has been washed out the entire series by Rip up until last night! You know the play was going to get rough! Love it! Embrace it! I hope if the Celtics make it to the Finals that Pierce (from L.A.) and Kobe (the face of L.A.) rip each others faces off!!! God bless playoff hoops!

	I don't think theres bad blood at all. Allen was the one who pushed for Hamilton to go to Uconn and was his roomate for the visits. It's amazing to see these two go at it every game, 110% all the way.

	They got it into the regular season also, Ray Allen doesn't seem like a very pleasant man. They don't like each other.
