Predictions:
-Celtics win tonite and hoist Larry #18.
-Rondo has a great game and earns MVP honors.
-Kobe grabs Bynum after the game & literally throws him under the bus.
Big Baby breaks his thumb (again) early in the 4th on a dunk attempt.
-Nate Robinson will hoist an ill-advised 3 point attempt.

“we can’t expect a lot from him going forward,”

This was suppose to say we CAN expect a lot.

TA will not be a shooter, not any time soon. He needs a complete re-work of his mechanics to make that possible.

I believe he has the work ethic and with the right shooting coach (calling Mark Price, come in Mark Price) it’s possible, but don’t expect it anytime soon.

To me, TA’s made progress, his play making ability, and defensive ability cannot be under valued. If he continues to progress at the rate he has this year, we can’t expect a lot from him going forward, and I believe he has the work ethic to make it happen and make himself a valuable 6-man in this league.

He absolutely should be resigned, if they money is right, and his comments tell me he will accept a team friendly deal. There’s a lot of upside to Tony, and as long as he’s willing to accept 1-2 years for reasonable money, there’s very little downside there either.

Good point koolaid.

TA needs to work on 3 things, 2 of which should be easily improved.

1. Dribbling How in the world can a 2 guard be so bad at dribbling. Many times you watch him drive the lane and see the ball get stripped. But then you watch the replay and you’re like noone even touched the ball, he just lost it.

2. Passing Maybe you can say he has bad hand/eye coordination, but his inabilily to hit a moving target makes Jamarcus Russell look like a Pro-bowler

3. Baseline 3 pointer With Tony basically standing on the baseline the entire possession, he needs to be able to knock down that shot (think Bruce Bowen)

The celtics need this guy on the floor, especially against the teams Boston has faced this year.
