Tony Allen was putting up twenty a game for a stretch where the team was losing eighteen in a row before he tore his knee being an idiot.

That's why I don't like him. He's an idiot. A thug. On the court and off.

Anyways, that's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. I should've have to explain why scoring on a pathetic team for a quarter of the season doesn't even come close to anything Ricky Davis or even Al Jefferson did in a Boston uniform, amongst numerous others. It's not just Allen's athleticism that isn't there this year, it's any semblance of an NBA caliber basketball player. He's brutal. It wasn't just his layup, I've been riding him all year. He kills us every time he steps foot on the floor.

Am I wishing injury on the guy? Of course not. The picture and caption are a joke. Hopefully TA will read it and realize that even though he has no athleticism, he could work on other aspects of his game, like dribbling or shooting. He makes Rondo look like Larry Bird from fifteen feet. Hell, I'll even settle for him being able to run the floor for more than two minutes without being extremely detrimental to the team. Just because I'm a Celtic fan doesn't mean I have to like everybody on the team unconditionally.

the celts were losing becaus ethey were ordered to...no fault of allens...and i never said u had to like everyone...hell ive hated half the players that ainge has brought in in the past...but tony has proven he can be an asset when healthy and when he has his confidence...that will prob take a long time to get back as it did the first time he tore up his knee...but by no means is he not an nba calibur player


and ps i did forget big al in my previous comment my bad

Well TA has time, we dont rely on him to win games so hes got weeks, even months to really prove he is an asset and earn his minutes.
IF he oculd get back to old form he would be a huge boost off the bench.

unlikely though by the looks of it

Unless you have proof of that, stop with the wild claims. They lost games because they sucked. Saying they weren't trying is a slap in the face to everybody who went out there and busted their asses.

Come on, now. I have to take my shots at McHale.

mqtcelticsfan

I'm sorry, but do you really believe that? The Celtics had one of the worst rosters in team history last year. They had a couple guys with talent, but they were so inexperienced that their natural talent (which overall wasn't THAT great) was negated.

Avalanche

why... he gave you garnett lol

#1AntoineWalkerFan

i didnt say they werent trying...i said they were ordered to lose games, as shown by pierce sitting for a month with the sniffles...then when his sniffles got better he sat for another month with a splinter in his thumb...cmon now if they were actually trying to win games do u think pierce would have sat for half the season??? the kids tried hard but you can play hard and not be playing to win if you want...they sucked as well...but they shouldnt have suked so much that they could only win 20 something games...pierce and 4 of us should be able to win 20 games

There's a difference between sitting Pierce when the season is lost after his legitimate injury (yes, it was for real) had mostly healed and telling your players to go out and lose. The starting lineup after Allen went down was what? West/Green/Gomes/Jefferson/Perk?

No legitimate number one option. No backcourt defense and very little of it in the frontcourt. No point guard. A combined 15 years of NBA experience, and only one of had a full season of starting under his belt. Seriously. Did you forget what that lineup looked like? And you think they were told to lose? That's why they lost 55 games? Not because...they sucked?

You're insane.
