He was making a play to stop a layup. Give me a break.
What an F#$! jerk. Today's game against the Cavs, he threw a flagarant, unncessary floul on Zyroglas (sp?) in the opening minutes of the game, which left the poor guy bleeding from the top of his head like crazy and which needed about 6 stiches in two different places.
But the thing that pissed me off most wasn't that fact that Rasheed hit him so hard unncessarily. It was the fact that he actually thought he did nothing wrong, and then proceeded to argue with the refs for the next 3 minutes while the other guys is bleeding like crazy on the bench. Rasheed argued that "he was just trying to get the ball." When on the replay, any ing idiot can see he did it on purpose.
Seriously, all those techs that he gets, all those times he gets angry during a game...I can deal with. But today, he really showed me what a class A-Hole he really is.

Its not like he cut the guy intentionally. And he wasn't arguing the foul, he was arguing the flagarant call since he was going to the ball.
Stop overreacting. (especially when you have Bowen on your team)
Shocker that Pistons fans would defend him. He was making a play to stop a layup? By elbowing a guy so hard that he was bleeding from his head? Like I mentioned, the thing that pissed me off more was the fact that he actually argued that call with the official for like 3 minutes......the guy was freakin bleeding and needed stiches! It was a totally unncessary foul, especially so early in the game.
Rasheed was absolutely wrong on that play. He should not have hacked him so hard. In a post-game interview, Zydrunas Ilgauskas said that he had elbowed Rasheed inadvertently right before that, and that Rsaheed was retaliating from the elbow. It still doesn't justify what Rasheed did, as it was pretty excessive. But, Rasheed really was trying to stop a lay-up. He shouldn't have hit him so hard, but he really was trying to stop the shot.
Rasheed wasn't arguing that he didn't foul Zydrunas. He was arguing that it was not a flagrant. Rasheed did slap in the area where the basketball was, so he had somewhat of a point. But, I agree with the referee's call.
I am a big fan of Rasheed Wallace, and I think he's fun to watch both on and off the court. But, in this instance, I'm disappointed that Rasheed gave such a hard foul with no real reason but to retaliate.
I'll still take Rasheed on my team any time. He just had poor judgment in this instance.
Whenever you're feeling angry at Rasheed, rewatch the end of game 5 last year and just let the anger fade away. If that doesn't work, watch game 7 and enjoy watching him cry all game as the refs actually have the nerve to call fouls on him!

Sheed let loose a dirty play, for sure. Whether the intent was to cause injury (which from watching him play game in and game out, seems unlikely to me) or not, the end result was unpleasant. But you know what? If it doesn't break skin, it's not that big a deal. You wouldn't even have noticed it. And honestly, Bruce Bowen going in feet first to the face of Wally-World is alot dirtier than Sheed dropping an elbow, am I right? And to wrap it up, I think we'd all rather somebody drop an elbow than give up an easy bucket. Hate me if you like, but that's my take.
cracks me up that people actually think the Bowen-Wally thing was intentional. If ignorance is bliss, those are some happy people.
I think Sheed got angry but I don't think (again..my opinion) it was done with intent to injure. Sheed has a rep with the refs for complaining but not for dirty play.
Anyone have a clip of the play? I haven't seen it so I can't judge yet
My point wasn't that the play was dirty, my point is that it just looked bad, so people assume it's dirty. Like I said, if blood wasn't drawn, it'd just be another hard foul. We're in agreement on this.
I know...I was agreeing with your point.
Oops. Dumbass over here. Sorry.
Nahh..its all good.
I have never though of Wallace as dirty. He does have a temper and sometimes it gets the best of him, but when he shuts his mouth and plays ball (which to his credit he has done pretty much the whole time in Detroit) he is one of the best in the league.
Yeah... if it was almost anybody else, I might have considered it. Sheed is intense to the extreme, but he's not dirty. And I don't think he was arguing about the foul, 1Parker1. We can't know just what he said, but it's more likely he was arguing about the flagrancy, or he might have been referring to the unintentional elbow that Ilgauskis threw just before. We can only guess.
NATURALLY
the ign pistons seriously think they can do NO WRONG and they deserve to be able to rake arms, push players, pull jerseys and are capable of not fouling in any situation
the pistons are such ing whiners
biggest winners, whiners of the season
ing babies
Naturally.
Good take, Sheed was going for the ball harder than he had too because of the elbow (some players elbow intentionally and even though I don't view Z as dirty it's still can be upsetting to be elbowed) and ended up with a hard foul. I agree with the call by the Ref but Sheed didn't foul him with the intention of drawing blood.
And to add insult to injury Rip reached around after a Z rebound and unintentionally popped him in the nose.
I admit I felt bad about Z's injury.
Yeah, I felt really bad after Rip smoked him too. Just wasn't his night.
Vincent, you know Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Seven foot three Lituanian, usta call him Big Z.
Yeah maybe, fat right?
I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat. He's got a weight problem. But whaat's the gonna do, he's a seven foot three Lituanian.
I think I know who you mean, what about him?
Sheed is a dirty .
