Whack! Get OUT!

[Minstrel]

I remember that. That was classically, pathetically hilarious.

Officials like that make me start to understand why Sheed accosted one in the parking garage or whatever it was. Officials more determined to make themselves the show, no matter the consequences, than to do their job properly.

But he gave a primal scream, then came down and stared right at the ref who had already warned him about staring.

What does a "primal scream" have to do with anything? B-Roy screams "hey!" nearly every time he does up with the ball, he does it to get the refs attention, so he can get more calls. But if Sheed does it it is deplorable. And, I guarantee you that you would have never said "primal" if Wallace was white.

If you could put 25% of LA's brain into Sheed he could have been a top-50 player in league history. His emotional hissy fits kept him from achieving greatness.

I'd happily trade LMA for a young Sheed.

all LMA needs is a little Canby. Thanks to KP he's getting it. Future LMA>Young Sheed

Aldridge is no future Sheed. Aldridge is like a future Okafor.

Some criticize Sheed for his focus against authority. But that's how he focused his mind.

When he shut his mouth to please his enemies, he played passively. Then the same people got on him for not being focused. It was a circular process.

We had one of the top 5 players in the game, and some couldn't accept how his mind worked. So Patterson-Nash were hired to blow it up, and we went through 5 years of bad teams, just to please the Sheed haters and the Oregonian.

At no time did Sheed perform as one of the top 5 players in the game. Did he have top 5 talent? Sure. But there's no way you can argue he was one of the top 5 players.

Pussiest ref ever.

Splitting hairs.

Top 5 defender AND top 5 PF for over a decade.

Probably the most versatile PF to ever play the game.

I love Bill Walton (as a player, not as a writer) but I have to admit...Sheed was what Walton would have been if 1) he'd stayed healthy and 2) he'd been more husky. I...I'm going to say it...Sheed was the most talented Blazer ever...WELL BITE YOUR TONGUE. WALTON WAS AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT MISTER. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, other side of my brain. WELL YOU SHOULD BE. LET'S NOT HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN. Sure, anything. Walton was the most talented Blazer.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Walton hated sheed. said he'd never win a ring.

oops.

Walton has been brain-dead since 1979, so what does his opinion matter?

I covered that. It really turned me against Walton when he wrote that we should trade Sheed. He was just conforming. This was after Whitsitt left and it was well-known that the trade was in the works. The less of a rebel Walton has become, the less I like him. Walton was hated in the late 70s by the same types who hated Sheed, and Walton was a moron to write against Sheed.

Not clinically brain dead, at least.

 

[WillG]

That ref man... geez,

In the western conference finals!!
I mean really?

What a Professional.

Hardly. Walton's in my top 10 favorite list and Wallace in my bottom 3. I personally know 3 fans, offhand, that like Walton and despise numbnuts.
