People always hating on Sheed.  ;D ;D I think he's trying but doesn't have it any longer. Sheed is done.

Sheed should only play minutes in this series if he is aggressive in the low post. The Celtics can have a huge matchup advantage when Haslem or Beasley or guarding him.

Otherwise, his lack of mobility defensively is a killer against a slasher of D-Wade's ability ... and consequently the Celtics would be much better off by giving those minutes to Glen Davis.

Yep, Doc should truly just play whoever is getting it done the rest of the way.  If that means very little Sheed, thats fine.  If Tony is outplaying Ray or someone else, keep Tony in the game.

That would be considered good coaching.  Something that's an anomaly from Doc.

I was surprised that Doc went with Baby in he 2nd half. Other than some energy plays there towards the end, and decent defense (got to give him that) he was having a very bad game making poor decisions with the ball, and getting stuffed down below constantly.

I thought Sheed should had been inserted when they took Perk out, particularly because they were clogging the middle and Garnett could've used the space.

But it all worked out in the end, I just don't see why Baby was given the chance considering how bad he was playing.

Doc needed Baby in for his rebounding.  We were getting outrebounded and Sheed wasn't helping in that department. Oh, and he was playing better defense than Sheed.  Sheed can't move his feet anymore.

If that was the thought process, it doesn't make much sense since by my count Davis had at most 2 rebounds in the first half. And he was really killing us with his decision making and poor offense. He rebounded extremely well in the 4th quarter though, and he has to be commended for it and it worked out for Doc, but he wasn't doing his role early on and I don't think need for his rebounds could make up for the poor job he was doing offensively for us because the negative impact was that great.

But it worked out in the end, and that all that matters I guess.

Then again, I think Baby's first half showed why we may need Sheed later in the season.  While Baby can do some nice things with his size and hustle, there are also times, like in the first half, that his height and lack of athleticism make it so that every time he's near the rim his shot is blocked.

I just watched the KG incident again on dvr and noticed something I found very funny.  While everyone else was so intense and angry over what had happened just seconds ago, Rasheed was dancing and singing the words to Paradise City.  I rewound it a few times.  Sheed being Sheed I guess.

I won't go so far as to say Sheed played well last night, but I thought he played hard - harder than I've seen him play all season.

I saw this also...it's almost like Sheed thrives and is most happy when this sort of things are going on.

It was the most happy/interested I had to seen Sheed in a while, once the skirmish went down.
