No worries I wasn't asking you or anyone else to "relate." Just mentioning I hate Sheed...I know who to look for here if I want to "relate" with someone.

Injuries kept us from seeing one of the best centers of all time receive that title because he had such a short career.

Don't even get me started with Rasheed. It's about much more than his techs.

it also kept us from seeing the true Walton.


OOOh..were you talking about Walton? I thought you meant Sabonis.

Dude, I applaud you. Sheed has been my favorite player for YEARS. The dude's "f-U" I'm here to kick-*** attitude ROCKS. The guy's stroke is bad-***, and he can D-up the best of em. I freakin' love Sheed.

To whom ever said he didn't deserve to play on the Pistons is a moron. He's a great contributer to the Pistons. Just because he isnt some politically correct softy like Tim Duncan (BLAHHHHHH) doesn't mean he's not a great player and cant play on that team.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, Sheed got me into basketball way back when he was on the Blazers.....thanks to him, I'm a die-hard blazer fan, and now of course a little leaguer fan of the pistons. ( i mainly just watch for sheed ).

He's a helluva nice guy in person too.....

BealzeeBob

TD is a softy and Wallace is a badass.

Okey-Dokey

Go Blazers

LOL, i've never seen TD hustle the ref's or get in someones face cuz he got elbowed. he just silently does his work. lol @ the rolleyes.

mook

love them or hate them, it'd be a much poorer league without personalities like Rasheed, Artest and Charles Barkley. there are so precious few pro athletes who say anything beyond cliche--we should be grateful for every weird one of them.

Playing with attitude is one thing if you channel it in the right direction..obviously Sheed could not accomplish this.

Sheed "one of the best things to ever happen to the Blazers" YEH RIGHT..I am sure we'll be retiring his # then.

I don't "blame" everything on Rasheed, I just blame Rasheed for being the out of control ahole that he is and was.

If you hung around Sheed every day you would realize he isn't really the "nice guy" you think he is. Not a ahole by any means either but certainly not a "nice guy."

I think it's pretty clear who the "moron" is here. How many times has Duncan abused Sheed like his lil' *****?

Sheed not deserving to play for the Pistons has nothing to do with what he now contributes to the Pistons.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this statement. He plays for the Pistons and because of it they are one of the best teams in the league. Without him, they wouldn't have a champioinship or be in the finals last year. How exactly can he not deserve to play for them?

For the record, Rasheed plays better defense on Duncan then most the rest of the league (actually I can't think of anyone who does better, but I'm not positive of that without doing some research). Duncan is however, the best PF in the league so even when played well he can have a significant impact.

If you read my earlier posts you'll see that my point was that Sheed never deserved to even go to the Pistons. Thus how he has played for them doesn't matter.

Basically I was saying Sheed never did a damn thing to deserve getting traded to a championship caliber team. Staying in ATL was what he deserved IMO.

Funny how people don't see the same thing in the same way....

I despise Rashweed Wallace for what HE did to the Blazers. He gave us a bad name with his technical's and ejections. He was given the reigns of the team and told to go win. Instead he lolligagged through the regular season and then wouldn't take the reigns come playoff time. You couldn't count on him to rise up and be the man (like Duncan) in crunch time. Rashweed preferred to float out to the three-point line and jack up shots instead of establishing a low post presence for his teammates to take advantage of.

He is (was) talented enough to be one of the greats of the game. Unfortunately, he didn't have the mental capacity to sieze the moment.

He's a good player on a great team. But, that team was really good before he arrived.
