Do both teams really play hard?

by | Nov 30, 2007 | 56 comments

Remember about a month ago when I was lucky enough to go to the Pistons Crew Party for season ticket holders? If you recall I got a big surprise when I spoke to Nazr Mohammed and Amir Johnson.

Well I had a plan going in when I took my video camera with me. I was going to try my best to get Sheed to give me a “both teams played hard” on camera. I considered asking him to give me a big grin, a thumbs up and a hearty SHEEDTastic, but I figured I had a better shot getting the BTPH.

Do you think he did or didn’t?

Just to give you a little background, Rasheed has always been very pleasant to me, he knows me, knows need4heed.com and even has a few of Need4Sheed T-shirts with his smiling cartoon face on it.

I want to know if you think I was successful, I’m taking votes on this one in the comments.

The video answer to come.

UPDADE: BTPH video will be released on Monday December 3rd at 12:00 pm.

    i say yes he did.

    he may have even added a few of his own “ad-libs”, perhaps a little dance?

    just my .02

    I sm going to say he gave a little laugh after you asked him then did so. If you pulled this one off, what a classic video that would be!!

    No doubt about it… In fact if he DIDNT do it… I would no longer be such a fan of his…

    All the time and effort you put into this site thats the LEAST he could do in return.

    No doubt he did! Just for the simple fact that you went on a mission to do this is classic.

    It’s why I love this site so much. Your original, your a diehard fan like us, you have turned this site into something that every Piston fan can’t get enough of, your funny and you got skillllllz.

    Thanks for all the hardwork Natalie, we really do appreciate it.

    man, I bet you did more than just BTPH, he probably did something super-extra-ultra funny, since he’s Sheed. You should get all starters to give a shoutout to the site. Good job! Post the video soon 🙂

    I say that you got a BTPH from him, about the big SHEEDtastic grin…I’m kinda on the iffy side, but I think you pulled it off as well! Sheed is a good hearted guy, I believe that he played along since he knows about need4sheed.com and has a few shirts… So I say yes to both of them!

    We have to wait and see what everyone else thinks.

    And thanks Boyde and you for the sentiments.

    ok they need to get rid of flip saunders right now. we’ll never win another championship with him as the coach. i read in the paper the other day that he was saying how we aren’t as good because of injuries. first of all coaches aren’t supposed to make excuses like that. everybody has injuries. the good teams overcome them not make excuses. but that’s not the part that really pissed me off. he went on to say that when someone gets injured then someone has to take on their role but then it takes away from what the back up brings. he made the example saying that when mcdyess was out and maxiel was starting that maxiel had to try to make up for the scoring that mcdyess usually brings. but he said that maxiel’s role was energy and that when he’s trying to score it takes away from his role. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!? what you can’t have energy while scoring? how the fuck is your role energy? shouldn’t everyone have energy whether scoring playing defense or whatever? i’m telling you it fuckin pissed me off. i mean how can your role just be energy? i understand some players bring more energy than others but you still have to turn that energy into something productive. i mean what can maxiel just stand in a corner doing jumping jacks saying hey guys i got the energy? what the fuck. shit like that makes me think he’s not letting maxiel live up to his potential. but another thing i noticed watching the jazz game is that the players just don’t hustle anymore. i mean they pick their spots but watch rip hamilton specifically. they’re all guilty of it but rip was the one i noticed the most. he’d only hustle when the ball was going to come to him. otherwise he was just kinda loafing. i think this run is over. even if we got a new coach now people get set in their ways as they get older and i don’t see things changing with the older group of players. not with them being the core of the team. i hope i’m wrong but we both know i’m not.

    Ahhhh, Natalie, this is great. This is tricky one..I think Sheed probably did give you his BTPH OR he’s like, naw, and gave you something just as priceless. He better not of gotton all shy on you..hahah..Can’t wait to see the video. You’re living the dream, I tell ya!

    hey Fireflip” I, beg to differ on your stand with Flip. I, think he has done a good job so far.
    I, also undersatnd his logic of changing the way he uses his players, wether they start or come off the bench. Cheerup man. I, have to tell you what Chauncey tells umpteen times.” We, will be alright”.
    Lets, keep the faith. Our, bench looks a lot better than last few years.
    Go PISTONS.

    nick a. i do agree. and SOMETIMES our bench looks and plays better than, dare i say, our starters do! is flip my favorite? no. but i do think he has come out coaching better this year than last. i don’t think our problems all fall on flip. you can’t make a great player…play bad and you can’t make a bad player…play great…its a team effort.

    side note, personally i think billups playing this summer has helped him out TREMENDOUSLY! 🙂

    I want to thank you too Natalie. I’ve been following this site since college. I’ve now been relocated to South Florida for almost 2 years and it’s one of the first things I pull up when I get to work in the morning. Thank you for keeping me close to my Favorite team while being so far away!

    Okay I went through all 30 something posts and everybody seems to think ‘Sheed did it. Just for shits and giggles, I’m going to say he didn’t.

    And to FireFlip:

    We’re 9-5 right now. I’m no expert, but I wouldn’t say that’s panic-worthy. Please don’t jump ship yet. ‘Cause if you do, there is no guarantee that we’ll drop a life boat to save your ass. lol

    What do you know, LeBron actually sat out the Toronto game. And, not surprisingly, Cleveland lost. And the Raptors didn’t even have Bosh. It’s sad really…

    …but mostly it’s funny!

    Well I think if it was any other random fan he wouldn’t have done it I’m sure he gets requests all the time but he knows that just about every pistons fan with Internet reads this site and he wouldn’t want that many people against him. He Did it!!!

    LeBitch sat out the Toronto game because someone told Mike Brown he was abusing his all-star minutes-wise and it was beneficial for him to sit. It wasn’t because of the “finger injury”. I read that on ohio.com I think. He said he didn’t play because he couldn’t — he just needs a little rest. Don’t forget that the Cavs have to play Boston again soon (Sunday I think) so you do the math. Kind of a no-brainer there. Apparently cleveland doesn’t think these games early in the season are important. These are the games that will come back and bite you in the ass come May, but it’s their funeral, so whatever.

    And I think Sheed did it btw =]

    GO PISTONS!!!!

    I meant he didn’t NOT play because he couldn’t. Why the hell the damn coach needs to be told he is over-playing his players is beyond me but anyway…. and Boston will find themselves in the same predicament this season sooner or later also so more power to those of the weak bench!!

    I say NO…

    not b/c he’s mean or anything

    But I think sheed likes to be spontaneous – not prompted…so if he is asked to do something like a gimmick he wont

    But I bet he did something else for the camer and did not dissappoint!

    (lol, too many psyc classes)

    I really think he would do it. However, the only reason I believe he did not do it is because YOU HAVEN’T PUT IT UP ALREADY!!!!

    I mean c’mon. We NEED to see this video already. 🙂

    I really hope he did say it and add in something else. That would top the cake off. 🙂

    Thanks for a GREAT site. Everyone LOVES!!! it.

    POST THIS VIDEO ALREADY!!!!!!

    Natalie. Why must you tease us so bad? I have been wanting to see this video since the first time you mentioned it. I am a HUGE fan of this site and a big fan of Sheed. So I am voting that he would have done just about anything for you and this site. Well not anything but you get my point. I think he is a fun-loving guy. So I don’t see him getting angry or anything like that. You might even have gotten him to do the SHEEDtastic thing. I wouldn’t doubt it. But something tells me there is a lot more to this story then simply a video and the time it takes to post it. Maybe I am reading a little too much into it. Maybe Sheed is going to be a special correspondent for Need4sheed and you are just waiting to make the annoucement. Who knows? But I am looking forward to this video.

    Happy Holidays guys and gals. Hope you guys got your christmas shopping done already. It’s a mad house out there. I saw a older lady get hip checked into a end cap at a store today. Why you ask? Because she was standing in the way and wouldn’t move. So I had to do what I had to do. Just kidding. it wasn’t me it was some psychotic person in front of me.
