any news on his back?
is it time once again for the Tony Allen Experiment at PG tomorrow?
if so, should the FCC require a "not suitable for younger audiences" warning at the start of the telecast? discuss.

I was at the C's Lakers game and had not checked the injuries, the Boston papers or this board beforehand. So when they did the lineups I was floored when they announced Tony Allen as the starting PG.
I told the guy next to me and I texted my friends: "no Rondo, no win."
Of course, it was great to be wrong and it was even better to see TA slicing through the Lakers like that.
If Rondo is hurt - even a little - just sit him and make it right. We've got the bench and the bodies. Plus - I am a big Tony Allen guy.
Go C's.

Rondo update (kind of):
He suffered a lower back injury in a fall after fouling Richard Jefferson in the third quarter. He was out the last 17:03.

The trouble is, you never know which Tony will show up. He's the closest thing we have to Antoine on our team now. Good Tony is a solid defender, doesn't turn the ball over, and makes his layups. Bad Tony fouls jumpshooters, dribbles into traffic, and can't hit a shot to save his life. So far this year it's been probably 70-30 in favor of Bad Tony, but lately it's been more like 50-50. There really doesn't seem to be any way to predict it tho.

No doubt. I think, though, that when he starts, there's a better chance we see Good Tony.

The one plus, no Gilbert tonight, which will make it a little easier on Tony.
