Stoudamire is a problem for everyone, anyone that can cover him has to focus on him all the time and not bother with helping out anyone else...i am anxious to see who does it, but i do hope sheldon gets a shot.....ook i promote sheldon a lot, all i ask is play him a good amount in diff situations, and let his game do the talking, if he fails I'll suck it up...Hey, I was wrong about Vin Baker, my brother still rags me about that one...LOL
And there's nothing wrong with pulling for a player...you just have to know their limitations. Heck I pull for Tony Allen, but at the same time he has limits, and the Bloggers here know that.
And not to burst your bubble...I'm not a great basketball mind, but if Shelden is playing a lot against Stoudemire or Frye tonight then something's wrong. He's just not able to stay up with them (perimeter Bigs), like other bloggers have stated.
Shelden has a better shot against a post player who will stay in the paint, like a Zach Randolph per se.
And even then...Doc has to be careful. There was one possession on the Christmas game where Shelden was guarding Dwight Howard and I watched Dwight back him down and it wasn't pretty. Doc then placed Sheed or Perk on him and Dwight didn't get any more buckets like that.
Shelden plays..but only at certain times against certain players.
