This sh*t makes me sick

No, I am not talking about the Celtics recent losing spell.

Check this from the "Notes" section of the Yahoo recap from tonight's Blazers-Pistons game:

Wallace played for the Blazers from 1996-2004 and was part of the so-called “Jail Blazers” team that became more known for trouble off the court than for success on it. He had a particular disdain for the Portland media, and often replied to questions with the pat response: “Both teams played hard.” …

It makes me so sad that a player who did so much for Portland fans would summarized in such fashion. All I know is Sheed was an amazing player and beloved teammate. And those alley-oops. Damn.

  • What's he gonna do, say, "My cringing punk media buddies gave Sheed a bad name, which ultimately forced the organization to overlook his many strengths and traded his ass, whereupon Sheed helped put the "T" in team and won a championship with Detroit?"

    Hmmm, you're right that is so much less cliche. They should put that writer into a room with Quiyntell Woods pit bulls, and put a bag of weed wrapped in tin foil in his pocket.

  • They know it in MoTown, Greeny. And, most important Sheed knows that you know it.

    "Real Blazers fans know that when we were out here, we were ripping it up," said Wallace, whose sore right foot kept him out of the lineup for Wednesday's game.
