I am begining to not like Allen at all. He has gone from by second favorite C to my sh*t list. He should have been cut. He hurts the team and breaks up their flow. It is kinda early but so far I don't like the way he has been playing at all. The fact of the matter is Rondo can do all the things he does and more! Call me crazy but if Allen isn't move I am gonna wish the C's would have made him the last cut instead of Luke Jackson. Grrr... one game into the season and I am already frustrated.
I have already chosen TA as this year's scapegoat, but he may end up being the odd man out anyways and get traded. he's really playing horrible offensively and isn't up to par defensively, to his standards.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I like allen's I think he needs more time on the court then he would be more usefull for the team</div>Did you not watch the first game of the season? In 18 minutes he went 0-5, had 2 TO, and 3 fouls, he made horrible decisions. After Tony's rookie season I thought he was going to be one of the better younger guys we had. Between off the court problems, knee injuries, missing a lot of games last season, I think he's just lost it. He doesn't seem to have that spark he had in his rookie season. I know it's still very early but he just doesn't seem to be improving at all. He'll be trade bait if he doesn't pick up the slack.

He forces everything, he looks to take his man off the dribble 4/5 times he gets the ball, he doesn't pass (even if he's on a 3-on-1 break!), he misses layups, he doesn't commit to being a slasher like he did his rookie year, he turns the ball over a lot, and to top it off the best part of his game (defense) isn't up to par with even the end of last season. At this point, there is no reason whatsoever why Tony Allen is playing and Gerald Green is not.
unfortunatly I havent seen first game but last season allen palyed wery bad but in the end of season when pierce got injured allen showd what he can he was scorin more than 20 pts
