Sick of Rasheed

Sheed is really the anti-Celtic. PJ Brown would be his total opposite. It’s really too bad.

but notice that he has never had any great games against the Hawks as a Celtic whatsoever. You can’t deny though that he played great against the Magic though, right? Full offense and defense. Why day and night?

The Magic game was on national television. Sheed plays well when it matters, on national television and the playoffs.

The Hawks game is on the second of a back to back, against a team on their first of a back to back. What kind of CRAP is this!? It must be because the NBA still doesn’t care about the Hawks enough to give Boston and them a marquee game free of back to back complications. Oh well. This time, this quirk of the schedule crapped on the Celtics’ chance of winning.

Anyways, Sheed plays well against Cleveland and Orlando. Not against the Hawks though. Why? I don’t really know. Maybe because of the heated emotions? Mabye. Perhaps Zaza teases him into a frothy furor? Mabye. Perhaps it’s simply because this was a back to back situation. Bingo. Sheed does not play well in that context.

Remedy: Playoffs are not back to backup matchups. Less fatigue. Problem solved

In addition, I honestly don’t think Sheed (and the Celtics) take the Hawks seriously. They should, but they don’t. But I mean honestly, who would you rather have the Celtics win against (barring the option of winning all three games) the Magic who they have beaten once, those dirty obnoxious hawks, or those effing pouting primadonna cream-puffs…the Lakers?

Of course, we all want the Laker win. Make no mistake…when it matters…and when the games do not end up being on the second day of back to backs (impossibility in the playoffs obviously) then the Hawks will be dispatched. Simple.

Then Sheed will play like it matters. Until then, only during games like the biggie on Sunday. mark my words, he will play well on sunday on national tv.

second the above.

Why was he out there for so much time and Perkins was out??? Perk only had 3 fouls so he wasnt really in foul trouble per-say for Perk.

Perkins is your starter, he should be in there at the end of the game, he has done a good job against Howard, and wasnt out there at the end of the Orlando game as well

Sheldon williams is a better rebounder, and just about as good as an offensive player as BBD, but he is hardly used because Doc must feel he isnt a defensive player…which is why Eddie house gets the short end of the stick. Doc needs to cut the carp with his biased opinions and play the players that deserve to play and help the team the most. I’ve felt all along, alot of last season included that he and a few players on the team had a tiff with Eddie, and it was obvious last night in his post game interview when asked about ’Sheeds poor play, he says “Its amazing Eddie can take 3 bad shots and noone says anything about it but ’Sheed takes a few and everyones up in arms” Well Doc, Eddie was brought here to shoot, and only shoot, so you dont expect anything other than shooting from him, and you have to give him slack when he hits ruts. Everyone is mad about sheed because he takes wide OPEN shots and misses, takes shots at bad times, hasnt been defending, and rebounding. All things he was brought here to do.

suspending judgement until playoffs on Sheed.

is not a perfect player and has his faults but keep in mind he was the best big man / center we could sign last summer.

Who else was available that was better then him??

He has negatives but I think is a net plus for this team

-He is our 3rd best and most talented big man on the roster behind Perk and Garnett (2nd best when Garnett is not healthy or not playing).

-He is the best big man off the bench since he is better than Baby, Williams and Scalabrine.

-He is our 2nd best low post scorer behind Perk.

-He is our along with Perk our best low post power defender due to his length and bulk (e.g. look how he shut down Howard the other night).

-He is our 3rd best outside shooting big man behind Garnett and Scal .

We are lucky to have Rasheed on our team since if he was not on it we would of been counting on Baby as our back up center and the way he has been playing this season that would of been a disaster.

We should not be worried about Rasheed since he has done a decent job this year coming off the bench?
We should be more worried about players like Baby and House who are under performing big time this year off the bench more so and first, before we even should be talking about Rasheed performance which again I think has been pretty good so far this year.

so fordescort…… were you watching the same game as us last night ? The problem we are all having is the reliance of this team ON him, we are relying on him and he is missing wide open gimme shots, if you are in the nba, and you get a wide open shot with noone in sight, you should make it, no questions asked, especially if your MO is 3 pt shooting

outside shooting big man behind Garnett and Scal.

If you want to say he takes to many outside shots I agree and that is another story.

But to say he is not a good shooter when he is our 3rd best big man shooter I think is unfair.

The guy IS killing the team….thats the truth Tai….he is taking horrible 3’s and far too many, and when he takes 3s that are 4 feet behind the line, just hucks them up….its old it kills the momentum of the team to have a guy just huck up whatever comes to him why is it that this guy was god and crawford flew under our radar…whos having the better season between those two as far as helping his team?
