Yeah he has taken it all the way to the championship.
The Raptors could have taken that game but they got no one to take that shot. No one who has been in the place Peirce, KG, and Ray Allen have.
The simple fact is this team is just now coming together and people can't stand it.
Los Angeles,Houston, Detroit, Toronto. Looking forward to tonights game. bring them all.
TONY Allen is passing Posey. Leon is seperating himself from Big Baby. Allen is getting his ankles back. House is gettting his shot back.
they are winning when they play bad against good teams.
i'm loving every minute of it.
Toney Allen is passing Posey at what?
so far? PPG, AssistPG, FT's PG, Steals PG.
rebounds are down.
I do not want to read more into anything than is there,but was the statement meant to say in only 8games Tony Allen is much better than or more valuable than Posey was?If it is i do not agree also there contributions are/were different.Posey was a big part of our success in winning the championship and dont think its fair to devalue him because he is out of the picture.
and i don't think its fair to trash tony allen simply because he's not the annointed james posey. (as alot of people are doing, and I'm no TA booster, but it's getting unreal)
James posey is a big loss, i loved the guy, I miss him. but he's not some sort of all encompassing mystical bench player that he's suddenly become.
So far, TA has been more than an adequate replacment for his production. So, i think its a fair statement to say that tony is passing poseys production at this early point, yes.
Embracing TA does not mean dismissing posey's relevance to last year, nor his loss. Nor does trashing TA unrealisticly, as some posters have been doing, make the loss of james posey any more significant.
It is what it is.
Show me one word i trashed TA in this thread or post?I didnt trash TA in this post but tried to show that the 2 players had different roles and value to the team when Posey was a member.I feel the initial intent in this post was to trash Posey in a sneaky way.It is unfair to rag on a player who gave his all in helping us win a championship.We are only 8 games into the season. Using a hand full of stats to try and prove TA is a better player than Posey is not fair to either player. I had no intention of dogging Tony only pointing out its not fair to compare them at all so soon.
You weren't who i was talking about (thus why i didn't name you), but you asked what tony was doing better than posey, i told you, and you immediately countered it by saying:
I do not want to read more into anything than is there,but was the statement meant to say in only 8games Tony Allen is much better than or more valuable than Posey was? I don't Agree.
you immediately assumed, at least for this qoute, that i was discounting james posey's contributions and fluffing TA prematurely. I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm talking about tony allen because he's playing well, im not comparing them.
Why can't i just be pointing out facts about TA that don't have one iota to do with Posey?
