Sheed is limited the same way every one of our players is limited ... in a way that is mysteriously, chemically balanced out by the other guys.
Expecting him to be great is a failed tactic - just ask Portland. But with him we get a guy who can pretty much defend any power forward in the league, which Ben can't always do. We also get a frontcourt scoring option talented enough to play well against elite guys, which we didn't have with Cliffy or Rebraca. (Or with Dice, who just cannot get his shot off against big, athletic 4s who jump like he used to - just count the pump fakes and fadeaways against a Kenyon Martin. Not to mention the fact that starting would take its toll on a kneecap that was literally ripped apart 3-4 years ago.)
We don't go anywhere without Sheed. And Minnesota would never take him 1-for-1 for Garnett, or anyone else on the team, so losing two or more parts of a championship contender for a guy who's proven that he can't win by himself is pointless. |
wHAT A BUNCH OF HORSEWASH!!! R u saying great teams cant have great players????The Lakers had 4 of the best 100 ever, the Celtics of Bird had 4 half of famers in the starting lineup and The Bulls had Jordan!! Nuff said.. All I am saying is Garnett is better than Sheed and works harder on the bench than Sheed does in the game. We win cause we are good. But winners seek perfection. I dont care if I beat my little brother 21-20- I impose my will and win 21-14. Same with tennis. He takes lessons, I cant afford to. My all time record vs my bro? 7 and 1! cause I cometo play. KG does! Sheed...when he wants to! 1 for frakin 10 vs Collins...jeeez!!!!!!!
