The Boston Celtics big man said Friday night that Raptors forward Hedo Turkoglu duped the referees into giving Wallace his fifth technical of the season by flopping. "They've got to know that he's a (darn) flopper. That's all Turkododo do," Wallace said after the Celtics beat the Raptors 116-103. "Flopping shouldn't get you nowhere. He acts like I shot him. "That's not ...

Rasheed Wallace is shooting 1 of 21 from beyond the arc in Celtics losses.  That's 4.7%.  Ouch. He's not alone.  Gary Washburn has a lot of ugly numbers in the Globe.  But Sheed's numbers are the worst.It's not a knock on Sheed.  We know he can hit the shots... and last night a lot of those were open shots.   But I'll reiterate what I said this morning.  I think we're all fine with Sheed being a big man who steps out and shoots 3&...

 Rasheed Wallace makes no bones about his game plan heading into tonight’s match-up with Dwight Howard the defending Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic.
 Don’t let Superman take off.
 “Step on his launch pad,” Wallace said of his strategy. “He’s a big fella, he can jump. If you step on his launch pad before he can take off and make it a hard shot for him, it’s a 50-50 chance. He going to ...

So we took his leg, I put my Kansas City helmet on and we took some pictures.Makes perfect sense now.

Guess which team sits atop both polls?Here's what Mannix has to say about the Celtics:Rasheed Wallace is a pretty good fit in Beantown,
 isn't he? Wallace, who is averaging 10.0 points and 4.0 rebounds, has
 ensured that the Celtics don't miss a beat when Kevin Garnett is out of
 the lineup. He may be needed to fill Garnett's shoes more often, too:

 here... highlighting the big storyline.  Because there's nothing quite
 as satisfying a good morning dump.“Hey,” said Wallace, “it lets people know that I ain’t a liar. I mean,
 that’s pretty much all I got to say about that. Everybody thought I was
 crazy and militant, but, hey, it came to light.”The veteran forward also believes he was one of the players on which the technical bounty was placed.

Sheed's answer has to be the quote of the day. Rasheed Wallace, Celtics forward: "I never dressed up. Nah, we used to snatch bags from kids that did dress up."You know, somehow I don't doubt that.

 and be the kings of the mountain. It’s just a matter of us going out
 there and doing it now. We all believe that we can.

Gary Washburn of the Globe found out: "I know there’s going to be a lot of stupid star calls like it is with the old refs, so I don’t think there’s going to be too much change." You won't find a more honest quote than that. While Rasheed is right, I wouldn't be surprised if he got fined. There's more: Do you think the replacement refs will be fair? "I hope...
