Rasheed Wallace update:


From Detroit News-
In a 27-10 third-quarter barrage, (Rasheed) Wallace badgered Andres Nocioni of the Bulls to the point of distraction. First, he laughed at Nocioni after he knocked the ball off his foot for a turnover. On the next possession, he took Nocioni into the post, spun, hit a jump shot and was fouled -- three-point play. Two possessions later, he again took Nocioni into the block, spun away from the basket and let the shot go. "Bank," he yelled upon release. Bank it was. He laughed on his way downcourt."

"He was making the opponents look silly, if you ask me," said Antonio McDyess (about Rasheed Wallace), who contributed 10 points and seven rebounds. "When he gets it going like that, it's hard to stop him. You just give him the ball and get out of the way."

"He was yelling "ball don't lie" with every missed free throw by the Bulls (and they missed 11 of 26). He made a jump shot left-handed and drew a foul. He earned a technical foul in the third quarter, and, when Ben Gordon missed the free throw, he shook his head and laughed at referee Mark Wunderlich. Finally, a fan yelled, " 'Sheed, do you ever shut up?" "Just out there having fun," he said. "That's the whole bottom line."
