Sheed wants to return to play “when it counts”

by Natalie Sitto on January 11, 2011

As if I we didn’t see the writing on the wall before the season even started. Sheed wants to take a break from his retirement and play for a championship with the Celtics.

Sheed, notorious for only turning things up when it matters (the playoffs), gave a hint to Stephen A. Smith that he’d like to return to the Celtics.

Just wanted your thoughts on two bits of info that came out in the past 24ish hours:

What did you make of CV acknowledging the tweets that said the definition of insanity was Kuester? for a guy who apparently promised Gordon and Daye that he would not be the reason for any dramas with the coach, that is pushing it a little.

Also, did you see Billup’s comment that Rip told him he wants to get out of Detroit as soon as he can? If that’s true, then kudos to Rip for having handled this situation so professionally.

If only Larry Brown waited to do his disappering act I could have my coach. But they will have alot of bodies in the paint for Boston and with Sheed being so 3 point hungry that will create some problems for there opponets. I see them giving the Heat and Magic trouble.

but it seems very unlikely now as even Stephen A.Smith is backpedaling now

look at his tweet

“Retirement to help the C’s take on the Lakers. That doesn’t mean he will. I haven’t spoken to him in months. Who knows how he feels now.”
