Rasheed
Remember early last season when the Celtics were rolling through the NBA? You remember because they undoubtedly beat your favorite team during their 23-2 start. Also remember when I wondered aloud if they could take down the Bulls' 72-10 record? We all know that it didn't happen, but they just may be taking aim this season. And when I say they, I really mean Rasheed Wallace. Yep, he said as much in a recent interview with Tom Halzack of the Connecticut News. "Oh definitely. Definitely, playing with those three other guys, also combining that with the guys we have on the bench, I think we definitely can. Me personally, I think we can get that Bulls record. You know we have the talent for it. We have the will for it and…I think we have the defense for it." [Halzack]: "Do you want me to use that?" "You can. Because honestly, I really do feel that. That was a good team. They had some [Hall of Famers] on there, but we have a few on ...

Pierce, Wallace Called Overrated By Detroit Blog

Somebody named Kevin Sawyer who writes for a Pistons blog called Detroit Bad Boys has included a couple of Celtics on his All-Overrated Team.C – Rasheed Wallace Honestly, I think he makes Boston worse.  They are already an elite defensive squad, and his mediocre three point shooting will take opportunities from more effective shooters.  Oh, and Boston relies...

Rasheed Wallace Says Celtics Can Take Out Bulls’ 72-10 Record

Anyone remember last season when the Celtics ripped off 19 straight wins early on in the season, and were a ridiculous 27-2 by Dec. 23? Yeah, they finished 62-20 on the year, sans NBA title. But, I’ll admit: I was worried the Bulls’ 72-10 record was going to be bested by them as they kept [...]

Rasheed: 72 Wins? No Problem

by Marcel Mutoni When the Boston Celtics signed Rasheed Wallace this summer, they knew they were getting more than just one of the best basketball players of his generation. There was also the larger than life personality. One known for his temper as much as his habit for attempting to predict the outcome of future events. The latter was at it again this Friday, declaring that this...

Rasheed Wallace goes too far

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball. Rasheed Wallace was never one to shy away from making bold statements. When he was a Detroit Piston there were a few playoff games where Rasheed Guaran-Sheed a victory. Usually the Guaran-shee came true, but not always. Now before you get all huffy about Rasheed keep in mind that players like Rasheed help the attitude...

The Truth comes alive

This preseason has been all about Kevin Garnett getting back in shape, Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels fitting in, and Kendrick Perkins showing signs of taking another step in his progression. Today, it became about Paul Pierce reminding everyone he he's still the man. Pierce went off for 25 points in 29 minutes.  He was 8 of 12 from the field, 2 of 5 from three point range...

Don’t Panic Celtics Fans, It’s Just ‘Sheed Being ‘Sheed

The other day our boy Dustin Canalin from UNDRCRWN posted this picture of Rasheed Wallace from the Celtics’ training camp and I just had to share it and his description with you: So as I’m watching NBA TV (my favorite station), and I stumble upon the Boston Celtics practice. Now tell me Rasheed Wallace isn’t the [...]

Random Thoughts on the First Three Games

I haven't been able to actually watch the games live because for some reason unknown to Celtics fans around the country, Dirct TV and League Pass and CSN are conspiring to shut their viewers off from the preseason. Up until this season, preseason games weren't blacked out on CSN and DTV offered them on League Pass. I have been able to watch them after the fact though and...

Sheed Tweaks Ankle in Comeback Win Over Nets

As preseason games go, this was one intense game. The Celtics battled back from a 14-point 3rd quarter deficit and beat the Nets 91-88. Eddie House hit the go-ahead bucket with :30 seconds left. The Celtics then made two huge defensive plays; Glen Davis swatted Courtney Lee's shot out of bounds and then House drew a charge on Lee seconds later.Starting in place of Kevin Garnett...

A case of love and hate

The alarm clock might as well be a sledgehammer at 6 am the morning after a Celtics/Red Sox/Patriots marathon day.  But I know I'm not alone.  A lot of us went from watching the C's (and then the last inning of the Red Sox season) to watching football the rest of the afternoon.  Including everyone on the Celtics.“Everybody has their own teams and they’re rooting forâ...

Can The Season Start Before We Think of 70+ Wins?

The NBA season is now just 15 days away. It's pre-season and while I love speculating about how teams will do, can't we just show a little constraint and not mention the Bulls historic 72 win season (or 70 wins period)?It's not like I don't want players to be confident, it's just the simple fact that you haven't even play a single game yet that mattered. 70...
