Tony Allen: Chinese algebra wiz

[guava_wrench]

From espn.com:

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT

"It ain't Chinese algebra. If you get stops and you execute on offense, normally that team wins."

-- Grizzlies reserve Tony Allen, whose team held the Blazers to nine points in the fourth quarter of a 86-73 win.

LOL, isn't math the same for any language?

i'm so confused!

Wow Tony... Just... Wow.

amazingly it's not.


But that is an awesome awesome quote.  Where are Yao and Yi when you need them?  We need a counter quote like "It's not American Chinese food" or something

Tony is awesome.

Well it is and it isn't. The methods and numerical systems are different, but the answers are the same as far as it goes. Most older systems are just more specific to various types of problems and lack the same sort of rigorous justification that is now in place. (math was more pragmatic back then)

Didn't watch the game but I'd bet he had something to do with Roy going 3-16.

Actually he didn't have a lot to do with it, they played him mostly on Andre Miller. Andre Miller was the Blazer that Memphis was most concerned with.

Roy's not looking good at all.

He also had something to do with Z-Bo's huge game, a couple of his offensive boards were Tony Allen out of control drives that bounced right to Randolph  .

Yes. 

Tony attributed to Z-Bo's big night. He whiffed on 2-3 layups. Luckily Z-Bo cleaned his misses. I think lack his of BBIQ has something to do it. I particularly don't miss the fumbling the ball TA, running over people TA, or mistiming his jumps TA.

Tony had a sequence that sums up his entire game to me.

Makes a great steal, starts down the court, and then makes an awful cross-court bounce pass that goes straight out of bounds.

LOL, TP.  I can just imagine TA saying it.  Haha

That's another good guy to be concerned with.  Tony's offense can't always be trusted but he still managed to lead the team in +/-.
