Two Reasons the Spurs Lost

1.  They are old as f*ck.  Not too old for the earth, but too old for the playoffs.

2.  Tony Allen's haircut:

How could you not be both distracted and mesmerized by that cut?  IT HAS GLITTERY EYES!!!!

I wasn't sure I would ever say this, but couldn't the Celtics use TA right now?  If they have TA, they don't have to trade Perk for 40% of Jeff Green's game, plus you have a lock down wing defender that will be crucial against the Heat.  You can't have Paul and Ray playing 40+ minutes a game and expect them to shut down LeEgo and Dwayne Wayne, while providing offense.

Two quick memories of Tony Allen while he was in Boston...

A few years back, before the current big three, when the Cs were just terrible, Comcast had a commercial with a few guys talking about Celtics tradition.  They were all supposed to say one word that they thought of when talking about playing for the Celtics.  They show Paul, and he says "Tradition."  Ryan Gomes, "Pride."  Tony Allen, "Nerquit."  Dude combined "Never" and "Quit" into "Nerquit."  That's just awesome.

A second story was from when he was being interviewed by someone from the Globe and he couldn't focus enough on the reporter's questions while he was taking imaginary jump shots.  No ball.

Good times.  Keep it real, TA.



-Big Ran

KC Jones comments: That haircut is magical, to say the least. I think it probably played a BIG part in the Spurs Round 1 collapse thus far. I may be a sports bigamist, but Big Ran is a sports Nazi, trying to enforce his views of a 'one team per individual' fan system. BOOM!

Also, if TA were to have written this post, he would have said, " They are old as f*ck.  Not too old for the EARF, but too old for the playoffs."

Another reason why the Spurs lost: Fear of TA....I mean, we all remember what happened earlier this season with him and teammate O.J. Mayo. If he'd tangle with a teammate over a gambling debt, there's no telling what he'd do to an opponent:

Big Ran Note:  I just want to make sure KC's comments are clear.  I enforce one team per sport.  I root for the Sox, Celts, Pats, PC Friars, and don't care about hockey, but go Bs tonight.

A couple of years back when the Cs won the title, KC said she was actually torn between rooting for the Pistons or the Cs when that matched up in the playoffs.  That is some serious sports bigamy.  So, I guess she is a sports Mormon, not necessarily a sports communist.  Thank you and have a pleasant evening.
