Rasheed Wallace picked up his 11th technical foul of the season during the Pistons' loss to the Wizards, and while that might not be all that remarkable, Sheed's reaction was a classic.
As great as that was, even better was his commentary on it after the game. Since so many of the words in his rant are unprintable here, I thought we could play a little Mad Libs and get creative with filling in the blanks. Here's the tirade, go ahead and leave your fill-ins in the comments. The best one will be posted up sometime tomorrow. And remember people, we're going for creative here, so simply using the actual expletives won't win you anything. Best of luck!
"I'm used to that _____ [noun], them calling that _____ [noun]. I'm used to it now.
[Ayotte] gave me a tech saying I shucked him. I know that was some _____ [noun]. Same thing with [Referee] Marc [Davis]. How in the hell I set a pick - a legal pick on the side of guy - and it's a _____ [adjective] foul? It's not like I ran into it or ran him over, I walked into a pick. Y'all tell me how horrible these _____ [noun, plural] are."

1. I still remember when Rasheed Wallace set a record for the Portland Trailblazers with 38 technical fouls in a season, only to break that record the following season with 41. It's good to see that Rasheed has calmed down quite a bit over the years, because in past years he had temper tantrums that were far worse than this.

2. using team names:
"I'm used to that jazz [noun], them calling that knicks[noun]. I'm used to it now.
[Ayotte] gave me a tech saying I shucked him. I know that was some bulls [noun]. Same thing with [Referee] Marc [Davis]. How in the hell I set a pick - a legal pick on the side of guy - and it's a magic [adjective] foul? It's not like I ran into it or ran him over, I walked into a pick. Y'all tell me how horrible these (poop) nuggets [noun, plural] are."

3. "I'm used to that guano [noun], them calling that gobbledygook [noun]. I'm used to it now.
[Ayotte] gave me a tech saying I shucked him. I know that was some cornstarch [noun]. Same thing with [Referee] Marc [Davis]. How in the hell I set a pick - a legal pick on the side of guy - and it's a dang-blasted [adjective] foul? It's not like I ran into it or ran him over, I walked into a pick. Y'all tell me how horrible these Poopsmiths [noun, plural] are."

6. Sheed. Most talented power forward of all time there has never been a 7 footer as athletic or who could shoot like him.Who ever disagrees has never played serious basketball.The only thing this guy ever lacked was motivation.

7. Great idea, Brett. Was it coincidence that I thought of this the same day as you? It's all about timing, ainit?
I'm gonna have to write an Mad Lib post in the next little while, featuring "colorful" NBA characters like Sheed and Ron-Ron.

10. "I'm used to that Steve Javy Ball, them calling that Donaghy smack on me. I'm used to it now.
[Ayotte] gave me a tech saying I shucked him. I know that was some serious Bowen blunder. Same thing with [Referee] Marc [Davis]. How in the hell I set a pick - a legal pick on the side of guy - and it's a fruity toot toot foul? It's not like I ran into it or ran him over, I walked into a pick. Y'all tell me how horrible these 'elbows of mine' are."
