Even in the final seconds of game 1, being down by 2 points and needing a bucket to stay alive, Rasheed Wallace is joking around with the Philly players out on the floor.
Im not so much worried about the fact that they lost....every team will lose a couple post season games this year. Im more worried about the careless attitude they had the entire time.
Everyone knows Detroit is one of the best teams out there and they are right there with Boston, the problem is that Detroit knows it as well. They have to lose the mindset that they can fuck around for 47 minutes and win it in the final minute.
Either way Detroit is going to win the series (sorry Philly fans), even if they half ass it for the next 4 or 5 games. The problem will come down the road when they have to face Boston in the ECF...unless cleveland spoils the party. Either way Detroit will be back in the ECF because the only teams standing in their way is Orlando, Toronto, and Philly.
I would love to see Boston and Detroit in the ECF...imagine what kind of series that would be.

Its like what Charles Barkley said. Rasheed Wallace would be one of the best players to ever play the game, if he cared enough. Think about it, hes a big bodied 7 foot center/ PF who can shoot, rebound, and play defense. Hes a player who is great and will go down as being great, but never really played to the max of his potential. Atleast in my opinion.
Im glad the Cavs spanked the Wizards tonight.
