Is Tony Allen's career in Boston finsihed? Is he finished as a player?
The guy obviously wants to play. He is always standing on the bench, cheering his teammates on. I know he still has the heart and the passion to play. So why isn't Doc Playing him?
I would have liked to see TA play in game 3. No one was about to stay with Kobe. IMO, Posey is an overrated one on one defensive player and couldn;t do nothing against Kobe the cry baby. TA would also have been able to stay with Vujacic, who killed us with 20 points off the bench.
If TA is hurt, we shouldn't dress for the games. Come off season we need to get a back up SG and a Center.

I agree with that. We should try to sign him to a 1 year contract and see if he can stay healthy. He should be cheap and at the worst a good 14-15 man on our team.

TA isn't done. He is not part of the rotation because of 3 reasons. First, he was inconsistent during the year and really struggled at the end of the year when Doc gave him excess minutes to see if TA deserved rotation minutes during the playoffs. Second, we have Pierce, Ray and Posey at the wing positions. Having 3 great options at the wing spot is enough during the playoffs. Lastly, and I think very important, is that with Rondo getting most of the minutes at pg, you can't have Rondo and TA on the court at the same time. We see how Rondo's defender helps off him and makes it a little harder for our half court offense. Imagine if you had 2 defenders doing that. The spacing with Rondo/TA in the backcourt would be horrible.
For next year though, I would want to keep TA for cheap money. He can impact the game both with his defense and penetration ability. I think that for next season, he will get back some of his explosiveness and confidence in his knee. What he needs to really work hard on during the off season is the corner 3 like Bruce Bowen did earlier in his career so that he is not liability in spacing the offense.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if Cassell is getting all this PT because he's living with KG and might poison KG by bitching. Cassell signing is the worst thing to happen to this team.
