He’ll fit in great …until the slightest sign of adversity.

Wallace is going to fit in great, but he’s also 35 years old, so there will be a lot of nights where he doesn’t bring it full-board—and that’s okay. We just need good defense, decent shotblocking and rebounding, and timely jumpers—things Wallace can provide in short bursts on most nights. I don’t think Wallace is a 30 minute plus player anymore. With our big man rotation, we won’t need more than that—Baby and Perk can do the heavy lifting.

Of course, we might need to lean more on Wallace in the beginning of the year if KG is still working his way back to top form. Even then I’d caution playing Wallace too many early minutes—we need him peaking in March/April, not in December. As such, I’d lean heavy on Perk and Baby (and sometimes Williams) when practical.

As for when he get his first T? Probably sometime in the preseason—with the replacement refs, it’ll be way too easy not to.

Or I could see an offense/defense substitution pattern.

I’d put the technical plus/minus in quarters and not in games.

25-30mpg playing both positions…A perfect addition

  How is his free throw percentage? Is he someone you really want fouled during ‘end of game’ times-AKA Ray Allen? Or is he a “OMG don’t let him have the ball now-AKA Shaq” type?

I agree that this is the most likely scenario, particularly against teams who aren’t dependent on their centers, but I’m a little concerned about what this means for Perkins long-term. Perk’s come a long way in his career, and especially the last two years: Doc didn’t trust him down the stretch during the championship season, playing Posey in his place; last season, however, out of necessity, Perkins played and was arguably our best player in the playoffs. Now that Perk’s proven himself to an extent, how will he react to going back to the bench in crunch time?

Tuesday, not Monday

doesn’t need to fit in.. as long as he has that look on his face every time he steps onto the court.

1) Sheed will fit in well
2) Who is playing at the end of the game will depend on the situation and who we are playing.
3) Sheed has always been the best player on his team. When he came to Detroit he was glad to to have a team concept.

How will he not fit in? hes the perfect fit as far as im concerned, personality and his game

and how will these replacement refs effect rasheed? because to me, hes always been the refs punching bag, he gets Td up rather quick, while a guy like KG could be t’d up multiple times a game, every game..and the refs let it go, when they clearly wouldnt for sheed.
Can anyone picture sheed on the sidelines acting like KG did last postseason without the league stepping in? how about if Sheed was the one who taunted calderon instead of kevin? theres been a double standard there if you ask me

Just as a aging all star veteran Bill Walton came to the Celtics in 86 and became the best 6th man in the NBA that year , Rasheed has the chance to be the same for the Celtics this year.

Now when we go up against Cleveland, Orlando and LA we will have a strong & tall back up center coming off the bench to match up against them instead of having to rely on the the shorter, smaller Powe and Baby that we used last year who were always overpowered.

The Celtics now will not miss a beat during front court power forward and center substitutions rotations when we go against those teams which means match up trouble for them when they face us.

ON paper he fits in REAL well
But unless a REAL nba game starts im not betting on anything

A side note (Rasheed + Celtics + new Reffs = how much T’s)
