MS: I think we all recognize Craw's inconsistency and it drives all of us crazy. But the guy is a team guy, he listens to the coach and he is at least making an attempt to find ways to win. As this organization tries to change this losing culture we need players like that. It's more important than finding superstars. Look at your roster. It's filled with good players and that has not gotten us anywhere. Our culture needs to change. We need to find guys that can accept roles and will do anything to win. When we change that first we can find someone to build around. When that changes stars will no longer come here and be infected by this losing malaise. That must change first.
We can do better than Crawford, but right now where we stand as an organization we desperately need guys like him. We cannot compare ourselves to other teams that are looking for one player to put themselves over the top. We need to change this organization to put us over the top.
i agree with this. i think that's why quentin has fans even tho he's played like crap, as well as malik. we totally took listening and playing hard for granted and are amazed when a player actually does it...regardless of the results.
