Sheed, Sabonis and the Towel

[UKRAINEFAN]

Better go visit those "Transcripts" again.
Wallace got 30 points on 26 shots in 45 mins. People around here punish CJ for stats like that all year long. But lets give him a pass because he was the main attraction and in no way did the Blazers "Quit going to him".
What we can't give him a pass on is 4 rebounds, 1 assist and he got to the line 5 times.
He sulked his way through the end of the game and essentially wilted under pressure . He missed 6 shots in a row from 10 mins left in the game to 3 mins left in the game. After the Blazers lost the lead he did make a shot to tie it again but he quickly folded to Robert Horry and let two huge rebounds get away.

The very last thing anyone can say is "The Blazers Quit Going To Him". He had every chance to control that game but after every miss all he wanted to do was complain and bitch at the refs. We all watched it. He left the Blazers 4 on 5 time and time again.
I know.... I know.... Reality is hard sometimes.

As far as the Pistons are concerned? Really? Who wants to compare being third fiddle on a stacked team to what happened here in Portland when he had just as much talent around him?

Thanks for posting that. I also saw that quote from a Laker who talks about Blazers stopped going to Wallace but also doubted it when viewing a short transcript. I'll go more with what Scottie said about Blazers not going hard to the basket.

What about this?! #BillWaltonBeanieBabyGate

Was at that game. It was a BS call against Rasheed to start who was guarding Shaq. Then the Pippen ball chuck, and then the dolls raining down. TV doesn't show how many hit the floor. IIRC, that was Bennet Salvatore and the booing went on for a long time.

A defensive three second call.

Scottie lost his cool. But the refs' treatment of our team was garbage all thru that era. Our players' reactions were quite warranted.

Sheed the most underrated player of the last 20 years (science!)

You actually posted a "reddit" opinion piece and called it "science"....

Bonzi looks OLD! And is Rasheed going bald?

Almost like their aging lol

I've listened to a few episodes of their podcast and I actually enjoy it. These guys have grown up and matured. I get those guys were hot-heads back in the day, but it's probably time for people to recognize growth... If you can't do that, you have some maturing to do as well.

I was always on Sheed’s side. Sabonis flops and pops his Sheed in the mouth. Where is Sabonis’ apology? Sheed was just frustrated.

You either flop or stand there and get called for the foul and lose the game. That was Shaq. Nobody (short of the Dream) could guard him. Actually, Sheed might have been able to.

Who cares about getting popped in the mouth when you have a game to win? Tell your teammate it's no big deal and prop him up. Go win a title. That's what a leader does.

But he wasn't a leader. He was an absolute cancer to that team.

Though I am glad to hear him talk the way he is now. His head wasn't right here in Portland. And that's why he was a cancer.

If Sheed is so bad, why didn’t he cost Detroit a championship?

Because getting shipped out of Portland, then Atlanta, was the attitude adjustment he needed.

Having a team led by Chauncey Billups was all he needed....that was a great team with that starting lineup and Lindsay Hunter coming off the bench...perfect chemistry

Really it wasn't even that. The Pistons won a championship when Sheed was with them for a very limited time. The next 4 seasons in a row they suffered because he was on the team.
The question should read. Why didn't Sheed ever lead them to a championship when he played a full season with them. They literally started the next season 24-5. Then the meltdown of the Pistons was unstoppable.
By the way Sheed left Robert Horry wide open again when they played the Spurs in the Finals and that was that for Raweed Wallace.

Sheed, Sabonis and the Towel was not as good as The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Once again, he says he shouldn't've done it, and he apologized at the time, and they were cool. I would've been pissed too if I got a chipped tooth, especially if (as he says) they TOLD Sabas not to do "that flopping shit". (And I say this as someone for whom Sabas is probably my fave Blazer ever.)

Made me lose even more respect for Washeed Wahhhlace (Is that even possible). What an absolute punk.
