That's the main reason Crawford was acquired in the first place, because Houston wasn't going to be relied upon.

No, Crawford was acquired to back up Houston and Marbury in a three guard rotation. He wasn't brought in to be Houston's replacement, at least not right away. And Marbury-Houston were 5 games better than .500 before Allan went down so please don't try to minimize what that pairing might have accomplished.

I'll take a step back...I am disappointed with Crawford since he got here. His shot-selection and defense are appalling. He only looked good under Larry Brown because everyone else was having such a bad year, and even then he came on at the end of the season when the games didn't matter anyway.

There are things about his game I like...He has no conscience which makes him a great go-to guy at the end of games, he has great chemistry with Curry, and when he is hot he is totally unguardable.

But he is a double-edged sword, and his game needs far more discipline before he can be counted on as part of the core in my mind. I'd rather move him for a contract that ends before 2009.

don't agree with that statement. By that logic you could say that Marb and Lee looked good this year cause the team had a bad year. Craw looked good under LB cause he was forced to play a midrange game and only take good shots (or better ones that he had been and just took this past year).

This guys TrueBlues logic is like those mouse glue traps.......... don't be a stupid mouse and step in them.

I don't know how you in the same thread try to make it seem like Crawford or Curry made the knicks bad, but in the same thread call Allan houston "not so good" and the team in not so good shape before either of them came. LOL, I don't even know what your purpose is anymore.

LOL so you feel a 30, 37, 39win team is good?

And after 3yrs having Crawford and 2yrs having Curry we haven't bettered those seasons if you take the worst records vs the best. Meanwhile the Bulls are better without them, it can't be refuted.

Isiah owes the Chicago mob a payoff who has ties with Anuka Sanders, so Isiah has to build up his hometown team to get anuka to settle out of court with no fanfare or publicity.
