Tony Allen Progress

by Jeff Clark on Sep 16, 2007 7:15 AM EDT in Boston Celtics News & Links

Allen says his knee is "70 percent" and he couldn't play if there were a game today. He participated in five-on-five scrimmages for four straight days last week, but he hasn't regained his explosiveness, nor is he ready to catch alley-oops.
"I feel like everything is there except my explosiveness right now," said Allen. "I can jump. I can rebound. I can pass. I can cut. It's like my explosive cutting to the basket and on curls - I need to work on that."

the explosiveness is what makes Tony Tony. Let’s hope he regains it. Other than that, it is great to hear he is making progress.

Cman – exactly right. Without explosiveness, TA isn’t in the NBA at all. If he doesn’t get it back he won’t be heard from again. Not sure about his comments saying that when he returns it can be the big 4. You’re a long way from being in those three’s league Tony.
