Crawford's PER rating marks him as right around average. He isn't 'Crawful'. Only our SFs are (Q and JJ have a PER around 6.5)
Don't kill Crawford for this season.
Do you know that he ranks anywhere from 60-95 amongst NBA guards in every important "guard" category such as turnovers, shooting percentages, points per shot? Yet, he's our starter and he gets the duties and green light that STAR players get on their respective teams. You don't give a bad player the keys to the offense as he has been given. It dooms you and it doomed us the moment he put on the uniform.
Kill him alone for this season? Of course not. Yet he plays the biggest role on the team and he's one of the worst players on the team so he has one of the biggest hands in our poor play. When your driver crashes the bus 3 out of 4 times he takes you out for a ride you're not going to look very good.

I get on Crawford fans because of that mentality: Who cares if he bricked the shot or we lost the game did YOU SEE that MOVE!? *drool*
LOL, don't make a post like this and decry FANS love of Crawford. You're part of the problem when you post his move. If you ignored it then there wouldn't be so much talk about it.

I offered the clip because it was a nice clip in a tough situation where we needed a hoop. In fact, it shows that he's a knucklehead for NOT going to the rim more often instead electing to do that move then step back and clank one.
I'm hardly a part of the problem that Crawford is not a good player.
I also see no reason to be silent on the issue. This is a discussion board right? A place to share ideas and debate opinions, right? I'm pretty sure it is. I don't recall reading anywhere that it's a "Only post positive thoughts!" site.
