SHEEEED

[Spilling Green Dye]

I hope I get to break out my Celtics-Wallace jersey again!  Yes, I really do own one

[KP43]

For me, there are conditioning concerns with Sheed. Put me down as loving to see him back in Green, but as of TODAY we'd need him for the regular season, too.

Back in 2009-10, he coasted a bit during the regular season, and we could afford it because we had Perk.....but BOY! Did he win some games for us in the playoffs that year....and BOY did he play perhaps his best game as a Celtic when IT MATTERED MOST:

Game 7 of the NBA Finals from June 2010. Yes - we lost a heartbreaker, but for me all I remember is the good times here....the wiley veteran Sheed backing down Pau Gasol old-school style in the post, and then elevating and shooting over him. He did that 3 or 4 times that game, and made it look easy vs perhaps the best big in the game at the time.

He added 8 rebs and 2 assists in 35 min of play, too...he stepped up and gave it his all when Perk went down.

To me, Sheed has some unfinished business in Green. I don't think he wanted to go out like he did.

I'd love to have him back here, but we need him NOW, as in conditioned.

woah woah woah. Let' not go nuts here. No wait. Maybe we should go nuts

[anthony83]

 Need for Sheed ?

 If he is in the form would be a great help to the Celtics, but he says that if he return will take the best option.

Sixers Heat Hawks Magic Mavs Bulls?

Bring back Sheed Come on¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

 

[CelticG1]

Sad thing is that he would prob be better than JO.

1. I don't think he missed one game when he played for us.
2. Just as good defense.
3. Can create his own shot in the post (even if only 2 or 3 times a game)
4. I think he adds more toughness

We probably shouldn't really bring him back but as frustrating as he could be at the time (during the regular season) looking back I would have MUCH rather him not retire and never sign JO

 last january Sheed's agent denied his return, see what happens now .

Ahem ..

The big question:  is he up to Michael Sweetney size yet?

In the summer of 2009, he came into camp out of shape, despite his motivation to land a free agent contract.

In 2012, almost two years removed from playing basketball, what type of shape is he in?  And since it took him 8 months to "play his way into shape" last time, what makes anybody think he can get into playing shape in four months?

[Greg]

Jermaine O'Neal gets us approximately 4-7 solid minutes at the 5 per night, and 17-20 lethargic ones.

Maybe Sheed could get us up to 10-14 solid minutes at the 5 per night.

In all seriousness, why not? It's not as if Pavlovic is going to be the one to make the difference on this team.  While it's unlikely, at least Sheed could have the potential to really help the C's down the stretch.

here is sheed in a game this past summer  but that was over 6 months ago if he's going to come back he has to be in shape

How quickly we forget what a dog this guy was all season. He even admitted that he wasn't giving a 100% during the regular season.  I don't want anything to do with him.

[StartOrien]

Eh, I'll take him just for the comedy.

Yeah, and he looked every bit done after that game 7. It's now 2 years later -- maybe he went to Florda and found the fountain of youth.

[Inside-Out]

I'd take him in a second, even though I can't stand him for dogging it so badly.  If he had played even close to his ability during the regular season, that game 7 would have been in Boston, and it might well have made the difference in the series.

That said, if we platoon the C spot, dividing up the 48 minutes evenly between Steims, JO and Sheed at 16 each, and have them go like heck during their short spurts, conditioning shouldn't be too much of an issue and the benefits of having a legit C (instead of Wilcox or KG at 5) WOULD improve the team quite a bit.

It could be the difference.
