Some people will never be able to look at TA objectively. Too many injured seasons as a Celtic.
He's obviously not an all star that will consistently score 20 every night, but he's still one of the best defenders at the 2 in the game along with the capability of being a rather big offensive spark. Even in games where he's not doing a whole lot offensively he always brings that high energy and if he can manage to stay away from injuries for a while I think he'll find his niche.
Plus he went to a team that runs more than the C's, doesn't require discipline on the offensive end, and doesn't pass all that much.
Definitely a better fit there.
He really needs to be on a defensive team with a good point guard that does nothing but run the break.
I don't think his game log looks all that bad. In the past 2 months he's scored above 16 points in 8 games in which they went 6-2. In 5 of those games he scored at least 20 including a 2pt loss to NY, 2 wins over the Thunder, and a win against the Spurs. In those games he shot 39-56 (70%).
His offense is still a little up and down but I'd say he's more up than down (12-21 games he scored in double digits)
Actually, I think part of the reason he fits in well is that Memphis is not a particularly disciplined defensive team. They don't run nearly as tight a system, which allows him to be more of a lockdown guy than he was in Boston.
In Boston's system, it was more about positioning, and proper rotations, and those are not Tony's strengths. In Memphis, they are much happier leaving him on an island, and letting him do his own thing.
