No.
 
really liked allen's minutes again. the first half he played really good D which continued into the 4th quarter, but he looked more comfortable offensively in the 2nd half. even as a fan, i'm surprised by how easily he usually gets into the lane. he makes great passes/decisions when the defense collapses, he just needs to relax more on his floaters/finishing when he penetrates and takes his own shots. would like to see him try to get all the way to the hoop more often and try to dunk on someone like he did plenty of at duke. overall, he is starting to look much more comfortable on both sides of the ball. he still reminds me of a young ginobili.

Pretty impressive how well the Jazz are playing right now without 4 of their players, including all 3 of their point guards.

Allen is definitely the weakest link on the Jazz right now. On the positive side he's getting some valuable court time.

i don't even think he's a weak link with how he's played the last 3 games. now if you're saying he's less valuable than the starters and the first few guys off the bench as the team currently is with all the injuries, then i'd agree with that. but weak link? nah. even when his shot isn't going, he isn't hurting them defensively. that was the problem earlier in the year.

His defense is miles ahead of what it was to start the year.
 
Allen is not meant to be a link at this stage. The fact that he's being forced to play and playing some solid minutes is a plus not a negative.
 
I’m pretty sure there was a free Xanax giveaway at staples center tonight... that crowd was sleepy af... bastards barely woke up for free chicken.
