I think maybe this is why Sheed digs Cheeks so much, they’re cut from the same cloth.

 During Sunday’s game, Cheeks had constant byplay with a Pistons fan sitting in the first row. The fan wore glasses, at least until Cheeks walked by.

“Every time the guy had his glasses on, Detroit would score,” Cheeks said after yesterday’s light workout at the Palace of Auburn Hills. “And I kept taking his glasses off.”

Cheeks couldn’t stop laughing at the thought a day later. During stoppages, Cheeks would go over to the fan and take his glasses off.

“Every time I took his glasses off, we went on a little run,” Cheeks said.

The coach did it several times because it seemed to be working.

“The guy probably didn’t see half the game,” said Michael Preston, the Sixers’ public-relations director, who was sitting behind Cheeks.

The breakthrough, according to Cheeks, came late in the game.

“He was great about it,” Cheeks said of the fan. “With two minutes left in the game, he said he was leaving his glasses off, and he did, and we ended up winning the game.” - Philly.com

I think it’s great that he keeps things loose but I’d prefer in the playoffs a little more in game intensity from the coach right down to the 12th man. Seems like being a champion and being intense go hand-in-hand.
