Hollinger probably wants him off the roster post-haste.
There isn't a player in the NBA that symbolizes the 90s/early 2000s era of basketball better than Tony Allen, tbh..
Goon that is permitted to hand check and play physically, which is considered "great defense"..plays hard and physical, which fans love..can't shoot, kills spacing, the opposing team doesn't have to guard him..completely exposed by the Warriors, another great team relying on pace/space and analytics, the new, dominant NBA champion..

lefty get in here
my Lefty praying that Morey's team doesn't make it to the WCFs, tbh..
As analytics further progresses, it'll illustrate that the 3 point shot isn't really as efficient as it is in a vacuum, because of the pressure it puts on your defense and offensive rebounding (the worst missed shot in basketball is a missed 3 point jumper, since it triggers a more effective fast break than missed layups, etc).
Still,
And Spursfan on DG. Stupid s.
Inability to make jump shots = Current NBA

Fluke 3 point chucker ball is why the Spurs are sitting home right now. When they couldn't hit threes what did they have to fall back on? Tony Parker dribbling around like a chicken with its head cut off clanking jumpers. Analytics

And this year? Where did the three point shot get them? First round exit dummy.
The Clippers sucked ass from 3 point range for the majority of that series
The Spurs 3pt% in the first round against the Mavs wasn't good either, still took the series and then the NBA le with ease.The Clippers sucked ass from 3 point range for the majority of that series
Nostalgia is very powerful, tbh..realistically, Draymond Green is essentially Dennis Rodman with a 3-point shot, but nobody wants to admit it
Tony Allen is because he is a 2015 NBA player
They Spurs ain't a team relying on 3 pointers imho, but they don't really have many better options it seems like. They no longer have the dominance in the paint with TOSB Duncan being their best big, and their rest bigs being totally dip s, and they don't even have the right slashers to diversify their offensive options. They Spurs' talent level definitely belongs in the lower half of the west imho, and they'd have been a lottery team for years now but for Pop's genius coaching. I don't get why there're people blaming the coach tbh.

It began on the plane before Game 3, when assistant coach and all-around defensive guru Ron Adams suggested something bizarre. What if Andrew Bogut guarded Tony Allen as though Allen were a non-shooting center? The airborne coaching staff murmured that such a move could really confound Memphis, and they filed the idea away. There was a process between invention and implementation, though. The Warriors had to lose Game 3, had to get desperate enough to try the weird tactic.
"We told the guys, 'We're going to do this the first three possessions of the game, and we'll see how it goes,'” Kerr said of his directions before Game 4.
As much sense as the gambit made, there was some internal anxiety over how it would all play out.
Allen hit his first shot. Then he missed a 3-pointer. And another. And another. Before seven minutes had passed, Allen was yanked from a game in which he’d go on to play only 16 minutes. Allen, struggling with a hamstring injury, went on to see only five more minutes of the series. Although Allen was certainly hurt, Golden State’s move made him essentially unplayable (multiple Warriors conceded as much after Game 4). This was a massive strategic concession by the Grizzlies, considering how Allen had been dominating defensively. He might have been the best player in the series to that point, and he was taken off the chessboard with one move.
Are you too stupid to realize you're pointing out what's wrong with this era? Tony Allen is a 10 year vet that has no redeeming qualities or skills...can't dribble, can't rebound, can't assist. He's what today's era is all about.From Ethan Strauss of ESPN.com

You can't be this re ed
Pop, head coach and all-around horse's ass had a similar epiphany:::What if I insist on playing the Clippers?
