Funny yet deep thought on Tony.  Yesterday's game, though, was probably
a step forward from the "still look as unprepared and uncertain as they
did two months ago" comment.  All the players played like Tony Allen.
They were not going to be denied.  I think yesterday everyone 'just
ignored everything they've been taught' and played hard and with their
hearts.  Yes, this was the game they could have won a priori, but it was
also a step up, an accumulation of experience from the last 5 games.  If
Seattle was tomorrow I think we would have won that too.

I'm not happy with playing Wally during this period (couldn't they have
used the injury excuse?), with not giving some players more time, but in
the same breath I realize we needed some back-boned experience to the
team.  

Hope this is a launching pad to gaining confidence and getting some V's
to go along with the experience.

Tony Allen seems to have improved (by just getting PT and from what I
can tell ignoring everything he's been 'taught' for the past two years)
but the TEAM has not noticeably improved one jot. They still look as
unprepared and uncertain as they did two months ago.
