[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lol

F the Grizz

[chapnis]

What have the spurs been through

[stephen jackson]

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahahaha, Yeah.. don't worry ESPN will still talk up Memphis and how they're defensive juggernauts

[LakerHater]

The fuck he talkin about!?

[Darius McCrary]

Someone post a u mad bro

[GrandeDavid]

Who is feeding these idiots misinformation? Are they on crack? Nobody respects the Spurs beyond San Antonio and parts of Texas! lol

[TXstbobcat]

Tony Allen should be more concerned with the Ike Turner beat down that the spurs just dished out against his team.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

What was he referring to?

[m33p0]

wutt?

[Trill Clinton]

lank?

[Budkin]

Odd him and TP were laughing together on the court.

[TampaDude]

The Memphis defense, for starters. :lol

:lol

[Budkin]

Again all the articles tomorrow will be about how Memphis can still win the series blah blah blah...

[jermaine]

There's nothing wrong with what he's saying. This is the playoffs! Who wanna keep hearing praises of another team that just mopped the floor with you. If he said anything other than that, I'd say he's already mailed it in.

Thanks for posting.

Watch the video. Nothing disrespectful about anything he said.

[DejuanorwhatDude]

He didn't say anything bad. Just cliche shit that all players say....wants to win in the here and now.

[Mugen]

I like Tony Allen. That trip on TP was Bowen-esque and brought a tear to my eye tbh.

[gameFACE]

Yeah, I didn't think he said anything bad, either. It was more of a "no excuses" thing foe the Grizzlies.

[Gospursel]

I liked his interview. Actually said something about basketball.

He needs to be "Baynesed" in Game 2. :lol

[VBM]

that motherfucker almost got tony parker hurt

We cheered for Bowen. We've nary room. :wakeup

[Captivus]

Is the title referring to Bonner?

[Knoxxx]

I'm tired of people referring to Tony Allen as a legitimate NBA starter. I don't even think that scrub would make our roster.

Seriously I thought Tony Allen was that washed up dude playing for the Celtics until he tripped TP and I actually noticed he was on Memphis and a whole different scrub!

:lmao Thank God Tony didn't get hurt, but damn I just had to laugh at this shit. Wtf

[TJastal]

Fuck Tony Allen. I hope the spurs use his intentional trip on Parker as extra motivation to dish out maximum punishment in this series.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I'm so confused what this guy is trying to convince people to believe!

[Budkin]

They were actually both laughing when he got up. And yeah what he said wasn't bad really.

[NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER]

F Tony Allen that communist piker.

[Legacy]

He is clearly shaken up. BIG TIME. Poor guy. :lol

Should've been a flagrant foul imo.

And I'm not sure what he's referring to, because ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBAtv never mention what the Spurs have "been through". They only talk about what the team they're playing has been through and what excuses they have. I've been watching most of the converage, and they make zero excuses for the Spurs and give them as little props as possible. It's like they're pissed they're there.

[rayray2k8]

I sorta understand what Allen is saying. Especially when 1 reported asked if the grizz were in awe of the, which is kind of a stupid question :rolleyes
As far as the tripping goes, its a soft playoff foul. I mean, its not like the guy hip checked Parker into the scorers table. lol
Like as if we never had guys who did this type of work on other teams in the past playoffs... There's a reason why they said it was going
to be a physical series.

[lovetp9]

what !!!!!!!!!!!!!1Tony Allen .what are you doing !!!

[lmbebo]

Tripping still could have been dangerous.
A twisted ankle or broken arm.

[Invision]

Some of you guys are a bunch of babies. You guys want all the respect in the world get over it.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Reality check time people.

1) that was not an intentional trip. Unlike some Bowen has done. He did not have time to form the thought "I'm going to trip him" and do it. It was just a reaction trying to recover from a blur fast spin move.

2) Allen is not a scrub. He's a nice role player and works his butt off. The spurs would trade any of their scrubs for him in a heartbeat.

[cd98]

He's tired of hearing about all the playoff wars the Spurs have been through. He's basically saying he doesn't think it matters what they've done in the past as far as this series goes, and he's right. Grizzlies lost cause they played bad and the Spurs played well, not because of the past playoff history of the Spurs.

So you say he just accidentally stuck his foot out and hooked Tony's foot as some kind of recovery "reaction". As if hooking another guys leg just comes naturally after getting blown by. You're a really funny guy.

1. Disagree. It really did appear intentional.

2. Agree. I would have in a Spurs jersey any day, though I don't think him and Manu get along too well.

[BigTex342006]

This is an example of a title without reference becomes out of "context". Seems derogatory - was not at all. He was patient than I would of been...nobody was to build up and praise the team that just took a dump on you, especially so closely removed.

[hooperflash]

Getting under his skin, aw yeah!

[TheCerebral1]

Injuries is all I can think of. Lol

[phyzik]

That trip was reactionary and not intentional... similar to a kick ball... It's not like players go out there intentionally to kick the ball when defending someone's pass, its just a reaction.

[ohmwrecker]

This whole thread is chock full o' suck.

[hater]

That trip was reactionary and not intentional...

:lmao

Ah shit I remember that. What an asshat. I love how the reporters are just like "You think he's just wearing the brace for the hell of it?"

Does anyone get cheap-shot at more then parker? Jesus christ

[Knoxxx]

Parker is almost always the toughest guy on the floor, most certainly pound for pound. He's a warrior no question.

Allen on the other hand is a longtime undersized 2 guard with a career (and consistent) 8 PPG average. That makes him a bona fide nobody in the grand scheme. Memphis should have dumped this chump not Rudy Gay who can actually play a little.

Just watched the game highlights and playing the quick GS guards seems to have served this team well. Our shooters are like WTF all this space, swish!

It was intentional. This isn't about Bowen.

Yeah! Seeing this again really makes me want to have revenge on these guys. Hate 'em.

[DJR210]

Who is Tony Allen again?
