Dig if you will, this picture. While Scott Pollard serenely soaks his leg in a Gatorade cooler and chats about last night's episode of Gossip Girls with Esteban Batista (who crosses his legs like fifty-year-old woman and is under the impression that Pollard is the guy from motorhead), Tony Allen, sporting a beater and an ice pack, stares dead ahead, supressing the urge to end both of their lives. This is the life of the Celtics unheralded bench-players on their heralded Roman vacation. If you really concentrate on the picture you can almost hear the four letter words tony is muttering under his breath at this moment, the moment he realized that in place of the departed Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, and Theo Ratliff, he would be sharing the bench with the likes of Scott Pollard, Scal, and, possibly, Esteban Batista. Not a fun exchange for TA.
For the starting five, he Celtics' European tour has been a PR masterpiece, full of photo ops and solidarity haircuts. But for the motley crew that is the Celtics' bench, it has been a different story.
First, Big Baby hit a car. Not with his car, but with himself. Then, Gabe Pruitt sprains his ankle, and finally, climactically, Tony Allen rides the pine with the Gringo Patrol.
Are they having fun yet? From the look on Tony Allen's face above, I would have to surmise, "No."Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/10/tony-allen-hangs-out-with-scott-pollard.html
