Rasheed: "It's All Fake"

It may have only been the end of the exhibition season, but Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was in mid-season form.

"I still don't think they (Cavaliers) beat us, we beat ourselves," Wallace said. "And I think we also fell victim to that personal NBA thing where they are trying to make it a world game and get (television) ratings. They wanted to put their darling in there (the NBA Finals) and they did, and look what ended up happening.

"This game ain't basketball anymore, it's entertainment," Wallace said. "It's starting to get like the WWF. There ain't no real wrestling anymore either. It's all fake."

Hmmmmmm. i wonder how much this will cost him
I mean yeah the NBA did want LBJ in the Finals, but c'mon Sheed. 26 straight points in inexcusable. He has to start blaming and just except failure

No they didn't beat themselves, LBJ just single-handly pwnt Detroit.

Agreed, you me mexi and PM7 could have been Bron's teammates and the Cavs still woulve won...

 

[Whisper]

LBJ went right through Detroit, but I still say if Washington was fully healthy things would've been way different.

But anyway, yes, 26 straight points is inexcusable, especially since Detroit was heralded as such a great defensive team.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't know things were going PERFECT for Washington up until that point in the season; they play zero defense...

 

[$tunna]

the way LeBron did them I think that no piston should have a say about anything that happened in the playoffs last season

 

[RipCity32]

Pistons did really beat themsevles in the series. I don't care what you guys say, but we really did.


But I don't care what you guys think, but I like what Sheed has been saying, it shows he is ready for this season, he is looking REALLY motovated.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If only motivation prevented technicals....

 

[Sabbath]

Motivated to <Censored> to the refs more than ever... oh great, I can't wait.......

 

[RipCity32]

HAHAHA, as if you guys ever watch the Pistons play. I'm sorry, I hope while you watch Sheed ever get T'ed up you don't cry, it is SO hard to watch!

Sheed will get less Techs this year, watch.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And the Pistons will get less wins this year, watch.

 

[RipCity32]

We will see now won't we? Maybe afteer you realise the Magic aren't as good as you think you will jump off the Magic/Redick bandwagon. watch.

120 Million dollars for a guy who isn't even close to worth what you offered. Never won a championship, 1 time allstar, what else does he bring? He's not a great defender is he? You don't get any championship experience with him, let alone playoff. He is good for 20 a night, that's about it. So quit thinking your Magic are so high and mighty.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

'Shard's never been in the playoffs? Lol...

Why would I jump off the bandwagon? I've been on it since I was an NBA fan, believe it or not but that's the truth...

And I think LeBron proved last year that you don't need playoff experience to get to the Finals...

Did I ever say he didn't make the playoffs? He has but what 1 time, and was knocked out in the first round. That is a ton of experience I guess though.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

No he's actually been to the playoffs on three different occasions, and made it to the second round in 2005.

Oh sorry, looks like your going to win the championship now.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Did I say that? Stop backtracking and changing the topic. You said Shard had no playoff experience, I proved you wrong, and then you go off like I'm saying where a title contender...

It's called sacarsm you moron.

I don't think you should be comparing LeBron to Rashard Lewis. Sure Lewis adds a lot to the Magic, but I don't think it's enough yet to win the division. I think next season when Nelson,Arzia, and J.J. get a better then they will win the division. The Magic have a GREAT nucleus of young talent.
