Back to the Sheed thing. I think it was Joe Dumars earlier this year who said that he would like to see Sheed take about 3 shots in the post for every 3-point attempt. I also believe that Flip Saunders said that he feels like he needs a cattle prod to keep Sheed inside the arc. Based on those comments, I'm guessing that the problem is self discipline.
Then who's calling plays out of timeouts for Sheed to shoot 3's. 1.8 seconds left if the 1st quarter and what did they run?

Later, Billups has the ball on the right elbow, Rip tries to post Ray Allen, (Why, only the lord knows?) Rip gets pushed out to the right elbow. He and Billups are now about 6 inches from one another. Mano o mano Rip goes nowhere but backwards from that point and passes to Sheed with approx 2 seconds on the clock. What is he supposed to do, punt?

I also am not turning a blind eye to Sheed (Nor targeting you personally), but to me he was about their only consistent offense all night. To say Billups was aggressive doesn't seem right. At best he and Rondo were a draw, but in actuality Rondo badly outplayed him. That should not be.
