The reporter, Chris Sheridan, attended both Wednesday's game and Thursday's practice and was
approached by Wallace after practice ended. In his story, Sheridan wrote of " . what appears to be a
growing note of discord and disharmony - aw, heck, let's just call it hate - between Rasheed Wallace
and coach Flip Saunders."
To support his assertion, Sheridan cited an incident from the third quarter Wednesday night when
Wallace left a timeout huddle before his teammates to sit on the scorer's table near mid-court.
Sheridan correctly noted that "Wallace has been doing this for years," but contended this incident
was different because of the way his teammates looked at him and the fact Chris Webber went to speak
to him as he sat on the scorer's table, though reporters who observed their exchange saw nothing
that indicated disharmony
"He did that all 64 games we won last year and he did that all 18 games we lost," Saunders said.
"That's just what he's always done. He's never doing anything to be disrespectful. He's not leaving
the huddle before everything is said. When he leaves the huddle, it's because we're done.
