As much people hate on Sheed, when he wants to be, he is our best low post player offensively (including KG).
I disagree, I think Kevin Garnett is better. He has a far more versatile + efficient post game and is a superior passer out of the post.

Rasheed brings more strength/heft/power in backing down opponents to create his shot but I don't think he's better overall.
Sheed is better if they are calling travels!

Another plus for KG is the threat of the alleyoop. Defenses need to worry about that, even when the ball is nowhere near KG.

Let's all agree on this.....

KG > Sheed > Perk


No more Perk down low please.

I can understand maybe once per game, but not make Perk our go to guy down low.

Heck post up Pierce once in a while.

Now that you bring up Pierce, I don't know why the heck they don't do it. At the moment, he would be at his most dangerous there, and very few SF's have the combination of strength and length to bother him much down low.

Sheed's crane analogy is hilarious. ;D

Let's hope his acts follow his speech.

As long as the trend of him spending more and more time in the low post, the better.


And if the offense calls for him to take open threes, then so be it.  As long as he is allowed and does go low.

I'll go along with this. As long as it's a good three. I've seen him send up some really bad ones this year. I knew before it left his hands that it be ugly.
