It's clear to me that Rasheed is the wrong player for the C's those 3's he's taking is completely wrong for a guy with his close range abilities, he's fallen in love with the long shot at the cost of hurting the C's inside game and short range game. Rasheed rarely gets any offensive rebounds, he scores in the paint quite effectively when he's there but still opts for the long shots. It's clear to me from watching the games that he's offsetting the offense with those quick 3's and frequent 3's, when you tally up his game shots he's usually taken more or as many 3's as he has taken mid range and close range shots !! I like the fact that he has long range ability but I don't like it when he's taken more than 3 long bombers for the game. Rasheed is playing lazy defense and Rondo is getting more rebounds than he is when Rasheed is starting, something is very wrong with that picture ! Doc has intimated that he wants Rasheed to take less 3's and for awhile Rasheed seemed to be listening. Personally it doesn't make much difference to me if he's hitting those shots for one game or not, I would prefer my nearly 7;0 power forward to play a lot closer to the basket and be a threat in or around the paint. The C's has Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Eddie House for those long shots when needed !!!
