The number of plays he takes off are inversely proportional to his FTA's per game.

I can sense a change, too. I wonder if it is not just trying to motivate him. Very strange.

I'm afraid that Sheed is what he is.......During the playoffs he will be what he will be.........We'll only go as far into the playoffs as Sheed takes us this season. Still, I figured that Flip needed to start playing the youth more by February, and he recently started to. I went outside and couldn't see my shadow, so I'm figuring on an early playoff exit this year

Just because CB will tote the party line does not make it truth. Please note, CB did not say we would win more if Sheed played harder. CB did not say Sheed is making us lose for lack of effort. Sure, Sheed could take more shots. But then, some guys would get less shots. There are only so many shots to go around. Sheed being the best player is meaningless. Its the team being better that counts.

More free throws, not more shots.
