Passion is fine, but that's really no excuse for some of this nonsense. You can play tough and bring physicality without taking it to that place. That applies to Sheed, Draymond, Stew and pretty much every other hot-head who winds up costing their team. And frankly I just don't want to see it in a game. That's not being soft; it's just having some respect for the game and the people who play it.
Yeah Sheed wasn’t anything like this.
Maybe it’s because I was a teenager but I remember Sheed not being able to control himself and get techs at the most inopportune times. And sometimes they’d fire up the team. The big difference is Sheed was the most talented player on the floor wearing a Pistons uniform. My argument is purely the cultural impact which I feel like is the same. Passion and caring fires up a team. And sometimes it causes chaos. Mahorn is probably the more apt comparison based on what I know now but the bad boys were before my basketball years.
Yeah, if you think that getting mad at calls the refs made and getting techs is the same as what Stew is doing here I’m not sure we’re experiencing the same reality here, and I’m not sure discussing this with you will be beneficial.
