They hadn't mentioned his being injured before that I know of. Pretty soon, he will have more surgeries than minutes played. From Green Street: The Boston Celtics announced today that guard Tony Allen underwent successful arthroscopic right ankle surgery and posterior tibial tendon repair today at the New England Baptist Hospital. Surgery was performed by Team Physician Dr. Brian McKeon and assis...

From ESPN.com: (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4094591)The Celtics and Bulls had extra security around their benches during Game 3 of the first-round playoff series to keep an eye on Allen. A source said the added security presence was a precautionary measure, according to the Globe.Allen, who is from Chicago, played nine mi...

Beyond the snark on the site, I'm genuinely excited, if for no other reason than to see if anyone in the Association actually has the stones to stand up to the James Train.What normally happens in the NBA Playoffs is that the team with the best player wins, mostly because hoops at the highest level involves getting lifelong...

But after last night's win, 104-92, having 10 blocks, the C's were sending a message: "get it out of our house". This big win helps the Celtics maintain...

The win for the Celtics clinches the Atlantic Division title.

How else do you explain the Champs playing like a D-League team? Umm, let me think, L. Without Garnett we have a legit shot at these guys. Powe went off on the Grizz yesterday but he's not good enough to back that up Imo, particularly not against our outstanding defensive PF in Char.... Nevermind.

I also can't watch the game tonight (league pass limitations) so instead of me telling you what I thought of the game, I'll be relying on you kind people to tell me what you thought of the game. Till then, I'll keep following on with the box score.

It's only been two days, but so far, the news is positive. From the Herald: (http://bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view/2008_10_02_A_knee-jerk_reaction/srvc=celt&position=2)"I told Tony that today he was the MVP of this practice," coach Doc Rivers said yesterday.

With Posey gone, he's the guy everyone will look to for a defensive effort off the bench. Is his leg healed? Is his head right? Can he perform? Bulpett looks at this issue in an article in the Herald.

Several of these teams are possible first round matchups for the Celtics and they need to send the message that they are in control and not give any questions as to whether the Celtics can be beaten. I expect Doc to give the bench, especially Tony Allen plenty of time to work on their games and chemistry as a unit over these last 9 g...

After a solid first half, the Celtics tensed up in the 2nd half and let the Pistons take control of the game. Even at the end it took two somewhat lucky 3 pointers to tie up the game. Then Billups got Tony Allen to bite on a upfake and that was it. Game over, streak over. Experience still matters, and this game was a perfect example. Pistons are the best in the East ...for now.

It is available here. Allen clearly makes his move to the basket about three seconds after the ref blows his whistle and he dunks it anyways and pays the price buy tearing his ACL and ending his season. An awful thing to happen to such a young, promising player.
