Sheed's best games are when he gets you 16 pts, 4 from the off-glass, 6 from the arc, and 4 from the box. When you try to go to Sheed exclusively it slows this offense down (circa CHarles Barkley in Houston). Last night Sheed played great help defense, he was active in trying to double and recover , just a solid Sheed game all around, sure we wish a few more buckets would have fallen, but hey. |
Agree with your description of Sheed as a "very skilled role player," and would expand your point to say that a 16 point, 8 rebound game (including one or two clutch threes that demoralize the opposition) -- along with aggressive and loud defense (but without foul trouble) -- represent Sheed at his best.
