Glad to see he's healthy. He's always been one of my favorites, along with Gomes and Jefferson.

there is still room for another bencher to come out and play well. i'd like marquis and TA to be able to coincide. although i'm still anticipating the return of big glen davis.

Eddies pass and Tony's dunk got number 1 on NBA.Com top 10 plays.

Corey Brewer got to be on the giving and receiving end of a vicious top ten numba 1 stunna slam dunk, within a week. Pretty impressive.

I don't want to see Tony on the floor for a single non-garbage time second in the playoffs, but hopefully, he can help to keep our starters minutes down until Marquis gets back.

I haven't been a huge Tony Allen guy but he has been playing great and hopefully he can stay within his role with this team because it would be a huge help. Although I have my doubts going forward I can only comment on what he has done so far and it's been awesome.

I'm so happy for him...his on-court body language has done a 180 since his big dunk in that Philly game. Keep it up Tony!

Conceptually, I don't believe it needs to be a Tony vs. Marquis thing, especially when you are trying to shield House from ball handling responsibilities. I would have liked to have seen a House-TA-Daniels backcourt off of the bench.

It is so unfortunate that we struggle to have a sensible debate on these type of role players on this board. It is good to see some positive banter, good give and take dialogue, emerge with this recent run of good games from Tony.

This is what I want to see: Tony playing well until we can trade him!

It may be too early to say this but TA seems to be managing his athletic ability a little more intelligently. Hopefully, this will solve his one remaining long term issue, i.e. stupid, bone head plays that damage his body.

This is not a small issue, but Tone seems off the scale in self-inflicted damage. His recent play seems to be more in control.

^^^TA has always been solid by the numbers. He tries to hard sometimes to make things happen but has never really been this bad player people make him out to be.

Tony Allen has been playing great but to be fair he did have a one on four play last night that left me wondering what he was actually trying to accomplish. He got bailed out on the play when the refs called a foul but TA please limit your one on four plays please. :lol:

This is why I've always loved Tony's game, despite the numerous hiccups. His aggressiveness is not found in many players, and when he's going well he can have a huge impact on the game.

I love having TA and Rondo as a defensive backcourt as well. Those two wreak havoc when they play together.

armageddon · Post #17 » by **armageddon** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 6:16 pm

I'll take TA's boneheaded plays if he continues to bring the energy he's shown lately. This team badly needs it.

MJ6RINGS · Post #18 » by **MJ6RINGS** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 7:02 pm

The better Tony Allen plays the more his trade value goes up and that is what I'm most happy about. This team needs a back-up PG, if we don't get one it will show up come play-off time. Heck Tony Allen for Nate "the great" Robinson.

if we do somehow want and get Robinson, it might be for nothing----he's telling friends he wants to go to Boston in a trade---if not, a buyout...and then sign.

TA has done more in 6 games than Daniels had done in 6 weeks. I love TA's passion and aggressiveness. He makes things happen. He attacks the basket and the boards. We need that from TA.
