We've been down by ~10 points for a while now. Hopefully, we can stage a comeback in the fourth.

Tony and Sam are awesome. Unfortunately Henry and Vazquez have been pretty bad.

That Tony Allen signing was really great. He's been very productive when he's had minutes.

Conley really has to be more consistent. He's generally solid but it feels like some games his non-contributions on offense and defense really kill us.

We're doing real well seeing as Gay is out. Tony Allen is stepping it up big time.

I only caught the end of the game just now on NBA TV, where he didn't seem to choke at all. lol

Did he do something bad before?

Stellar game. Tony Allen was absolutely brilliant. If he's not starting at SG on Friday, something is seriously wrong.

Think he works better off the bench, he's the veteran leader for them and I think the young players respond to playing with him. I loved it when Tony Allen was going apes*** on Vasquez for not playing defense in the 4th quarter

Nice win for the Grizz I enjoy watching this team, would be nice to see you guys continue to play well and maybe move up to a 6th seed, I can see this team giving someone a run for their money in the playoffs.

I'm happy to see Tony Allen have a good offensive game to go along with his usual workmanlike defensive role. I've said all along how much I loved the signing of Allen and now that it's time for the team to really man up if they want to achieve their goal of making the playoffs the value of that veteran presence we've talked about for a couple of years is certainly showing.

I know there's a trade proposal thread and a shopping Mayo one as well so I won't go into it, but it sure looks like they haven't missed much, if anything at shooting guard since Mayo has been out. It really makes you think that management is taking a hard look at how they could tweak this team even better with a Mayo trade.
