With Sheed closing in on the suspension threshold in terms of technical fouls, he’s taking his case to the people.
He’s got about seven weeks of season left before his slate gets wiped clean for the playoffs, and only like 5 techs left (ask Need4Sheed - they surely know) before he starts missing games.
“In my opinion, I think they do (have a chip on their shoulder) and I don’t know why,” Wallace said. “This is just my opinion, but just for some of the stuff they do call, it makes you scratch your head.”
“They say, ‘Don’t say nothing to me,’ ” Wallace said. “What, I can’t talk to you? I can’t even say, ‘Watch out for that ball boy on the floor behind you?’ “
Actually, Sheed should make that his stock argument with the refs.
No matter what the call or how they respond, he should say “Watch out for that ball boy on the floor behind you.” He could put all sorts of different inflections in his voice, but it’s always “Watch out for that ball boy on the floor behind you.”
Then they respond with something like “Huh? Wha - there’s no ball - ”
“Watch out for that ball boy on the floor behind you!!” He gets to let out frustration without technically having done anything wrong, and after the refs catch on, they all feel like a-holes and start giving him technicals for his ball boy warnings.
That’s when the NBA blows up, and David Stern finally writes to us and says “Thanks for ruining my league, jerk.”

Actually it would most likely be “Watch out for the blue cup coming straight for you”
And it’s 12
He used to do this all the time with post-game press conferences — for a long time, he never said anything but “Both teams played hard” to Portland reporters. . . but maybe that’s the joke you were playing off of in the first place, and I’m just a little slow.
I didn’t know that - maybe he will really do it then.
It’s good to know me and sheed think alike. Remember when everyone on Earth hated him?
Ball-boy don’t lie!
