6th Most Important Piston: Roscoe vs. Rasheed Wallace
ROSCOE OR RASHEED?
What’s Going On World?
John W. Davis here. The 6th Most Important Piston on my countdown is Rasheed Wallace. (Okay everyone GASP really quickly). Now please let me explain.
See there is a guy I know named Roscoe and a guy I know named Rasheed. They both play for our beloved Detroit Pistons. One plays forward, the other plays center. One has a temper, the other is focused and on a mission.
Both are passionate but that’s never Roscoe or Rasheed’s problem. Both are Top 20 NBA talents. Both have the skills to dominate inside and out. Both are 6′11 and 235 ish pounds.
ROSCOE DOES THIS:
AND ROSCOE ALSO CAN DO THIS SEEMINGLY AT WILL:
That’s why we allow it. Basketball is nothing more than a game. A fun childhood game that a mere 450 NBA Players get paid to do.
What he lacks in focus and motivation he makes up for with pure unadulterated talent.
But you know what? It takes more than talent to be a champion. When Rasheed was going for his first NBA title you saw that nothing was going to stop him. Not an injured foot, or being traded to a new team, nothing. NO… THING!
I know because I have saw it with my own eyes, that Rasheed can be more than Roscoe. He can be much more than a trash talking left-handed three point shooting big man. He can be so much more.
RASHEED CAN DO THIS (OLD SCHOOL):
RASHEED CAN DO THIS (NEW SCHOOL):
I always feel like Rasheed Wallace is not giving us everything he could that’s why he is number six. Year after year we see the same player, teasing and tantalizing us with dominant yet erratic and sporadic post play. Yes I want a little Roscoe but I also want a lot more Rasheed! (Sheed-scoe)
Who do you want Roscoe or Rasheed?
Peace,
John W. Davis

I want Roscoe AND Rasheed. We desperately need both. I feel as though the team is that much more well-rounded that we can take the occasional off-nights from Sheed, as long as he keeps the team loose.
Sheed is Sheed. Good, bad, or indifferent. And I love him for it.

I’m have to go with TADone on this one. We need both to get to the Finals and win the ‘Ship. We still need him to Roscoe and Sheed…every night!!!

Since nothing is ever equal do you want more Roscoe or more Rasheed?
I want the one in the post getting it done and well all know who that one is…

SHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man u can’t trade Sheed. I kno he’s erratic and lazy at times…but come on it’s Sheed!!! U know SHEEEEEDDDD!!! We made that, we gave him that title. He’s a true blue Piston now, the backstage hypeman. When you think Sheed u think PISTONS not blazers or hawks!
I down to do whatever’s best for the team but if we do trade him we better get a damn good deal for him.

We should trade Sheed for Mike Watson? Is that a good deal?
Mike Watson October 22nd at 2:01 am
“Ahhh Definitely!!!” LOL!!!

Sheed is off the books after this year, so why trade him? Being it is a contract year, I expect a huge season. I’d only trade him if a big trade like Josh Smith came calling.
Mike Watson October 24th at 1:18 pm
Good observation TADOne dats exactly the point i’m trying to get at
John October 24th at 11:15 pm
I only want Josh Smith or Carmelo.
FYI: Josh Smith is my favorite player in the league.
@ TAD and Mike: Did I write we should trade Rasheed in this article?
Mike Watson October 25th at 1:28 pm
Wait a minute John I thought Amir was yo favorite player in the leauge???
But naw u didnt write anything in this article bout trading Sheed but with all the trade talks and his name being invovled in them, I wouldn’t want the most passionate player on our team to be traded away without gettin equal or better value for him.
I kno Sheed takes games off and BS’s alot but u jus gotta love Sheed cuz he always down for his team. And he always got yo back…

Sheed has your back but does he have his own back?
John W. Davis October 25th at 4:04 pm
I love Rasheed Mike, I really do.
I just want more from him because he can give us more.
