Please Be Quiet

Since Rome, the Celtics have followed the belief of UBUNTU which means:

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.

It has worked out great with tremendous teamwork and no selfish play or talk all season, until now! The one player who drives me crazy on this team has decided now while we're in the payoffs and should be in full tony-allen-interview-20070514025718964-000.jpgUBUNTU effect, Is a great time to complain. Right Tony Allen? He says this in today's Herald when asked about his playing time in the first two games of the playoffs.

“I ain’t happy with it but what it’s about is doing it for the team,” said Allen, who averaged 18.3 minutes per game during the regular season. “I’m still cheering on the sidelines and being ready. I’m still clapping hands, passing out water, throwing towels, jumping up for my teammates for something good, just basically trying to stay loose for whenever he calls me to go out there.”

He should have said all of that, but left out the “I ain’t happy with it" part.

Maybe if he was more consistent and could dribble, he'd play more.
