Signing Rasheed was a mistake

[captain green]

nah were 8-2 he's doing a great job of stretching the d and playing solid d.
A mistake nope he brings in energy and confidence no other team is happy to see rasheed on the celtics just another weapon to an all ready stacked team.

Hey, reactionary threads are back on the Celtics board.

Yaaaaay!

LOL its like we have 2 wins not 2 losses

[GreenDreamer]

It is funny how people seem to quickly forget the days of the immortal Mikki Moore coming off the bench for our bigs.

Yep, Rasheed is a huge upgrade for us. He's better than any other big we've had off of the bench in the last 3 seasons. The reason being his length and versatility. I do think that he's gunning too much, but that can be worked around.

Sheed is playing just fine and as the season gets longer he will only get better. As Glen gets on board we will have a better inside/outside combo team. Glad the Celtic brain trust is running things and not the OP. Just my opinion. I'm glad Wallace is here.

maybe I'm little overracting ,maybe saying mistake was a mistake
Actually I was thinking Sheed was best FA sign by celtics about a decade
I've no problem with his D or bringing depth, right now and he is valuable for this team for sure
but I cant stand to watch his offense,that contested threes make me sick.
IMO, it affects to team negatively also, this team has a alot of weapons and dont need a bunch of contested shoots.His range is also a valuable weapon but if it comes at right time and at the right spot.
Also I think that Eddie's bad performance related to Rasheed a bit,it does affect like dominos.
More Sheed threes means less shooting for Eddie and less attempts forcing Eddie have bad choices.


He should cut his treys and play inside more, share the ball more and there is your perfect 6th man

[nashrambler13]

thats right suckers! you shouldve signed channing frye, the off season acquisition of the SEASON!!










lol.

[JSABleedsGreen]

In 2 months every thing will be fine. Sheed is a smart player and I'm sure he'll realize that he needs to come inside and knock down a couple and then go back out and take a 3 or two.

I also agree that he's saving his legs and body a little. Pounding inside takes a lot of energy out of you.

He'll be fine........let's talk after the all star break if it's the same story

I just don't understand how you could love signing Rasheed Wallace in the off season and now bitch about the 3 pt shooting, it is like buying a Hummer and bitching about the gas. That is who Rasheed Wallace is a big man who shoots 3's, he is not saving himself to go Wilt Chamberlain in the second half this is the player he is hopefully he makes closer to the 35% he usually makes instead of the 31% he is shooting now but we need the 3's.

We just watch the Pacer's kill our defense by gunning open 3's and knocking down half of them. It is the weak spot in our defense when you pack the lane to deny the post and penetration you are going to give up some open looks from behind the arc, that is what ORL did to us. This isn't the first or last time a team is going to get off on us from 3. You can't counter that by going into the post unless you can shoot over 75% from there. You need to take and make some 3's if Sheed isn't shooting 3's he is a non factor offensively I would rather have Perk in the post than him.

Wow, relax. Posts like this make me not even want to log on to this site anymore.

2 loses and people are talking about Okafor for Ray and getting rid of Sheed. WTF??? Obviously you don't have any idea what it's like to play sports. It's a long season. You will lose games...You can't go 6-7 from the field every game.

If you're looking to "book" something then book this: The Celtics will win 60+ be a top 2 seed in the east. They will probably make the NBA finals too. So "book" that and stop with the Sheed Sucks trends. He does not suck.

[GuyClinch]

I think Sheed has done well. What did you expect? Leon Powe down there? Sheed is what he is - a good defender who can hit 3 point shots. I don't see any problem.

Yaaaaay!

When were they ever gone?

He's 36 years old and has no legs anymore.He stands behind the arc and chucking up 3s. It doesnt matter if we are up by 5 or down 10, he shots while his opponents hands on his face. I dont mind if these are wide opens,but most of his threes are bad choices. He cant rebound neither. And celtics'll pay this guy until he's 39?
watching him make me sick while perk sits, RW just should cut his three points attempts and must play inside more.

Did you see him the last few years in Detroit? This is who he is now. This what I, at least, expected. I was and still am hopeful that Doc, PP, and KG can convince to play inside a bit more and be selective with his three point shooting but hes been doing this for years my friend.

[Hemingway]

I really can't take anyones opinions seriously if one of them is that signing Sheed was a mistake a few games into the season. It would be one thing if he was taking 3 when he was told not to but Doc is telling him to and we are winning at a good clip.

Agreed, we're 8-3 after trying to work in quite a few new pieces (Sheed, Daniels, Williams)...we could be 3-8! So the complainers are, of course, once again being reactionary...

thats what i am talkin about
