Well, that and I'd always side with 'Sheed attacking referees before anyone else -- animals and terrorists included.
The NBA is fake according to Rasheed.
This is Sheed's 2nd tough Game 7 loss in the Finals. Can't blame him from snapping in frustration. I wouldn't mind seeing him go off on the officials and Stern though. I wouldn't be surprised if Stern had his stormtroopers get Sheed the outta of the building before they can get a microphone in his face
Stern should be careful and worried about Rasheed. There's no telling what Rasheed thinks about Stern. My guess would be that it's probably not good. Stern might want to put on a bullet proof vest and possibly some body armor.
Screw Rasheed, they gave him a free pass when he walked away from Horry in the San Antonio Finals. Let him off with nary a word of derision. That was BS.
He got what was coming to him tonite. I've no sympathy for him.
It wasn't a Finals game but I don't think you can forget 2000 and that cluster . . .This is Sheed's 2nd tough Game 7 loss in the Finals. Can't blame him from snapping in frustration.

This may have been Rasheed Wallace’s last NBA game.
Doc Rivers said he thought Wallace is thinking about retiring, and Sheed’s actions after the game support that.
Wallace went by the officials’ dressing room and tried to get a work with ref Danny Crawford.
Wallace, who fouled out, said he was trying to give Crawford a compliment.

If this was Rasheed Wallace's last game, he went out being the full Sheed
By Kurt Helin
In Game 7, we got the full Sheed.
There was Sheed the good, the long-arm defender that kept Pau Gasol at bay during the first three quarters of Game 7.
There was Sheed the bad, the guy Gasol was outworking for rebounds at the end, the one that missed key stretches of the game when he got cramps.
There was Sheed the peacemaker, the one trying to calm Ron Artest down after Ron-Ron and Paul Pierce were nose-to-nose.
There was Sheed the crazy, guy who tried to go into the referees' dressing room after the game to "talk to them" and had to be escorted out by security (as reported by Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston.com).
Rasheed Wallace was never simple or easy to categorize. It made him standout in the NBA.
And it is the reason he will be missed, if he retires. And that may be this summer, after Wallace fought through an assortment of injuries this season, according to Doc Rivers. If so, Sheed's last game was a fitting send off, because it had a little bit of everything.
"He was a warrior," Celtics coach Rivers said of Wallace after Game 7. "You know, I don't know if Rasheed will ever play again. You know, he's one of them that took that out on the floor with him. I think he is thinking about retiring, and I thought you could see that in his play. He was dying out there. When he got the cramps and strains, he was just trying to figure out a way out, a way of staying out on the floor."
He was scoring when the Celtics were winning, but late he wore down, was getting cramps, and the Celtics could no longer go him inside. And as they had to shoot jumpers, the Lakers started to pull ahead.
Wallace tried to stand up and stop the tide, but he could not any more. His body was betraying him. It happens to the best.
Losing was not the way Rasheed Wallace wants to leave the game. But this game might be the most fitting final note for a career that was unlike any other in NBA history. But one that will not be easy to categorize.
Wallace's anger is a righteous anger.
yah..he should be angry that noone stepped up when it counted
Good to see Wallace stopped on and off the court last night.
Artest has learned his lessons, done his penance, and is a man.
Wallace should follow suit.
lots of fouls, but c'mon paul pierce travels a lot (look at this pivot foot) when he gets the balls and isos and they never call that.
LOL Rasheed Thuggin
Rasheed carried out of arena by security
What a visual. Great thread le!
X ingzactly..
I thought I read something about Rasheed trying to talk to Crawford after game but Crawford had already left.
What On Earth Got Into Rasheed Wallace After the Game Last Night?
SportingNews
It is safe to say that Rasheed Wallace had an up-and-down year in Boston. For most of the season, he looked lazy and ineffective, content to hang out on the perimeter and avoid contact whenever possible. Then, in the playoffs, he occasionally turned into the Sheed of old, combining tough post defense with some nice outside shooting and some forays into the paint on offense.
He was one of the Celtics’ most effective players in Game 7, picking up 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting, eight rebounds, and two blocks as the starting center in place of the injured Kendrick Perkins. Yet Wallace will probably end up getting more attention for what he did after the game than for what he did during it. From ESPNBoston.com’s Chris Forsberg:
Wallace exited the Boston locker room before it opened to the media and navigated his way toward the team bus before diverting to the official’s locker room nearby. He managed to open the door and talk with an unidentified person behind the door, before arena and NBA security ushered him back out.
Wallace stuck his head into the locker room and appeared to say, "Danny, I just want to talk," possibly to referee Danny Crawford, but quickly got removed from the room.
Wallace, wearing sunglasses and carrying his gear, waited about five minutes outside the official’s locker room guarded by arena security before departing for the team bus without talking to the officials or media nearby.
The veteran forward, who is the NBA all-time leader in technical fouls, did not appear confrontational. While waiting he muttered again about simply wanting to talk and that it was nothing bad.
Wallace has been no friend of referees in his 15-year NBA career, earning himself the all-time record for most technical fouls, but it seems worth believing that he didn’t mean any substantial harm towards the officials. That was a tough loss to take in such an intense game, and he probably just wanted to state his discontent at some of the calls. It would’ve been an awkward conservation, but likely nothing abusive.
Nonetheless, it’s a weird way to show your displeasure. As Chris Littmann noted earlier today, Doc Rivers said that this might have been Sheed’s last game. If that’s the case, then he went out in the kind of bizarre blaze of glory that befits a man who once wore a championship belt while talking to the media.
Yet he has also always been a fierce compe or with a near-obsessive knowledge of the game, enough so that many have suggested he could be a successful coach. If this moment is to define Sheed’s year in Boston, we should at least remember that he went to visit the refs because he cares about the game so much, not because he’s an insane person. Wallace just chooses to express his passion in irregular ways.
A lot of other players would not have been treated the same way had they stopped by the refs locker room after the game. Him being Rasheed is why they reacted as they did.
It's not appropriate for him to be there.
He had his chance and he blew it.
Shut up, board the bus to LAX and fly back home.
