This isn't a knock on Sheed. I agree with you that Rasheed's value to the Pistons is grossly underrated, even during times like these. I also agree that the gaping hole he will leave will be difficult to fill. Perhaps then, will fans realize what a foundation he was. Conversely, the point of this post was really just to demonstrate how quickly we can come to love a player we've always hated. Not much more than that.

Sheed is a team player who gives his team mates a chance to shoot and when the can't he can take over and does. I totally agree.

The bottom line is about who can play and who can't. Rasheed can play. This season was very tough on Rasheed. We talk about how Prince and Rip were affected by the Chauncey trade. However, the way things played with who played in games, how long certin individuals played, who started and who can off the bench, etc., etc. A high basketball mind like Rasheed is affected worst than them all. Rookie decisions, whether it was Stuckey or Coach Curry, affects a great basketball mind more than your average player. Couple all of that with Rasheed being injured, not hurt, but injuried, it amounts to being more than just fustrated. Rasheed has never been used properly since he has been with Detroit. In years past the chemistry has covered for him getting less than 12 shots in most games. However, during a year when the chemistry was at it's worst, coupled with losing leads and games in the fourth quarter, Rasheed's fustration was elevated. Because he doesn't complain about his players/ teammates, he complains to the refs. Maybe he should tell his teammates what he actually thinks about making silly passes, no passes, him not getting shots, etc. We need Rasheed to make free agent acquisition work. No, he doesn't teach with his temper. He does teach on the court and in practice. Without Rasheed, the total team IQ will go down considerably. If you think that they were lost without Chauncey, wait and see what happens without Rasheed. That's enough. If you don't agree or can't see what I have said thus far then I've hasted my time anyway.
