Our old friend Tony Allen returns to the Garden today with the Grizzlies. While our memories of TA include bone-headed gaffes, knee-shredding-after-the-whistle-dunk-attempts, and death threats, he’s become the emotional leader of the Grizz. Seriously. Allen’s teammates recognize him as their sergeant at arms, and gladly follow his lead. “My whole thing is getting guys focused,” Allen [...]

This tweet from CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely caught my attention this morning. Sherrod was doing one of his random respond-to-every-tweet binges and turning people away from the usual suggestions of Nene and Dwight Howard and other unrealistic things. But OJ Mayo is an interesting case. In this third year, at age 23, his scoring dropped [...]

For all his warts (turnovers, mental mistakes, criminal suits, death threats), Tony Allen is a funny bastard. He was involved in a minor accident Monday morning while dropping off his kid at school. In classic TA fashion, he tweeted details of the whole thing: Who [fault] is it if some 1 run into 2 u!!from [...]

  Yes-they really do. My pal and devoted Tony Allen fan HRVoje has been posting and creating T.A. vids for a few years now. Tony's offseason move to the Grizz wasn't exactly a huge hit with him, but he has continued to root for and follow the man known as "Gucci". His latest upload to YouTube is [...]

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Memphis. Yep, I'll now play the "biggest win of the year" broken record. Paul, Zach Randolph will stand where he likes for this jump ball, thanks. Kevin, Marc [...]
