Sheed -- 21 minutes, ONE rebound, THREE points

[scoop]

When Sheed went out and the starters all came back out we had an 11 point lead. Hmmmm…. Maybe the problem isn't Sheed?

On the other hand, he had the dubious honour of being the only bench player with a negative +/-.

Of course Wallace isn't "the problem" - that would be silly considering he's a backup playing 20ish mpg. But so far, he's been more part of the problem than part of the solution.

When the starters fix their problems THEN I will move on to ripping on the 2nd unit. No one has the guts on here to call out any starter other than Ray.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm calling out anybody, particularly Wallace. I doubt they read. In any case, I'll readily admit no starter is playing particularly well at this point - and the biggest singular factor to improve his team is Garnett's improvement.

I'm not even slightly surprised. Wallace imploded last season in Detroit - he didn't have legs any more to get the job done and, obviously, he didn't get them back.

He's only one above average talent - low post defence - but with Perkins+Glenn Davis already on the roster that becomes a little redundant.

Hopefully, he has some sort of momentary "renaissance" late in the season, it can always happen. 

I think Rasheed will prove his worth in the playoffs. Kind of a Robert Horry situation.

Chief- you get the 'green glasses' award for that one. But I hope you're right, because you know Doc will just keep playing him no matter what.
