TA's winning me over. Amazing, absolutely amazing given how universally he was despised at the beginning of the season. Literally couldn't GIVE him away to Indiana. Now, not only has he clearly outplayed Quis (the guy who was supposed to replace him), he's basically taken away Nate Robinson's minutes in the backcourt as well.
His defense against Wade was about as good as it gets. Kept Wade in front of him. Kept close enough to disrupt the outside shot. Didn't bite on a single pump fake that I saw. On offense, didn't do anything stupid.
And, he's been playing great for a while now, I can't remember the last "Bad Tony" sighting.
Amazing; I can't remember if it was Pierce or Ray who checked into the game with like four minutes to go, I was begging them not to be replacing Tony - and they didn't! Let one of the future Hall of Famers watch from the bench while Tony helped close out the game.
Whodathunk THAT would happen?
Good for Tony, glad that he finally seems to get it.
