Rasheed of Pistons ain't doing jack so far in the Nets vs Pistons series. He only scored 10 points last night & got 2 boards in 22 minutes cause of foul trouble. He had 5 fouls yesterday. What is 10 points & 2 rebounds? That's terrible. He's not playing like he was in Portland. Ever since he came to Detroit, he's been playing wack to me. He doesn't shoot that much & he's not a monster like he was in Portland. Charles Barkley hit it on the head when he said Rasheed doesn't wanna play like a superstar. Charles said for the money he's gettin, he ought to wanna be a superstar LOL. Detroit doesn't have that many scorers besides Chauncey & Richard so if Rasheed doesn't score a lot, Detroit is in trouble cause their offense is horrible. As u can see yesterday, they only ended up with 64 points. They only had 11 points at the end of the first quarter. Chauncey Billups only scored 2 points yesterday on 1-10 shooting from the field in 37 minutes. That's horrible. Tayshaun Prince needs to work out more cause he's too damn skinny for a big man LOL. He almost looks sick like he's not eating enough hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Gettin back to Rasheed, he'd rather argue with refs than play like he's capable of playing.

Rasheed is not playing hard.
Though his team is up 2-0.

His presence does count, but I think his mind is elsewhere. What else is new?

But you have to remember, Larry Brown is the flakiest coach of all time. He wins but hasn't won anything- and will never win anything. He motivates people and then he leaves.

I would never want him to coach my team.

The Pistons are up 2-1 now since the Nets won yesterday. I don't think the Pistons should've fired Rick Carlisle cause Larry Brown isn't the answer. Coaches always get a bad rap. Everytime a team isn't doing well, the coach is the first one to get fired & that's not fair. I saw that Tim Floyd was just fired by the Hornets. For god's sake, he just coached there this yr. Give the man a chance, damn. They should've kept Paul Silas as their coach if they knew they were gonna fire Tim. In order for Detroit to get to the finals, Rasheed Wallace has got to play like he did in Portland or they won't win jack. Rasheed is playin like a softie right now.

Sorry, I meant 2-1.

The NBA is out of control firing coaches, they don't understand patience and everything today is about "now."
I understand it in one sense, but on the other hand if you don't build a foundation you will never have any coherence and a defined purpose.

Larry Brown is not the answer.
And Rasheed wants to- and will- go elswhere.
Maybe the Knicks.

I guess the Knicks would be a better fit for Rasheed cause the Knicks don't play hard & he would fit right in. The Pistons have players that are gonna play hard & give a 100% effort every night even if they do lose. I'd rather see Darvin Ham start over Rasheed if Rasheed is gonna continue to play like a scrub. At least Darvin will hustle & play defense & when he dunks, he dunks ferociously. Rasheed would rather argue with refs & get technicals than just shut up & play ball. He need to cover up that patch in his head hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I think that's some type of hair follicle he has.

Since u mentioned the NBA is out of control firing coaches, Larry Brown spoke on that recently. He said that he thinks the Nets should've kept Byron Scott as their coach. He said Lawrence Frank has done a good job with the Nets but he thinks Lawrence isn't qualified. Nets owner Rod Thorn responded to what Larry had to say by saying Larry doesn't know what goes on with the Nets organization so he needs to mind his own business LOL.

The man is playing on a bad foot. Give him a break. I wish the Knicks had him, he is playing through pain, unlike Allen Houston, who doesn't play like a bitch he just doesn't play. For his $100 million dollar contract he should get off his lazy ass and play, no matter how much pain he is in.

I heard today, that Rasheed Wallace was spotted hanging out on 59th St. in Manhatton. Somebody asked him what he was doing there. He joked that he was looking for apartments. Which does not surprise me because the Pistons are playing the Nets and I rather hang out in New York than New Jersey.

Just hanging out in New York is a good sign for the Knicks.

Wallace is playing through pain, which is more I can say about Allen Houston.

How does Rasheed Wallacec work with Ben Wallace? They're two well-known guys on the same team, I always wonder how people like that get along.

Detroit lost again last night 94-79 & Rasheed was limping yesterday. He doesn't look good. That's a bad sign if he's hurt cause Detroit doesn't have a chance. Their offense is so terrible. Richard Hamilton was the only one in double figures with 30 points for Detroit. Chauncey played a horrible game. He only scored 6 points. I hope Detroit doesn't lose this series cause i want them to win.

If the Pistons do lose this series because of the Wallace injury, it would be very much like the 2003 Kings when Chris Webber got hurt, and the Kings lost to the Mavericks.

Detroit is deep enough to win this series without Rasheed. Mehmet Okur or Corliss Williamson could start at power forward if Rasheed isn't able to play the rest of the series. Corliss is more aggressive than Rasheed is. He may not be able to score a lot of points like Rasheed but he will rebound & score. His defense is so so. I see why Darko Millcic doesn't play for Detroit. He came in at the end of the game yesterday when it was a blowout & he threw a bad pass out of bounds. It's gonna take awhile for him to develop.
