and this poodle is just so cute looking that she decides to go up to it to pet it and play with it. So the poodle just has such a welcoming expression across it's face and it's just so adorable. So the little girl walks up to this little dog, extends her right arm to pet it on the top of his skulls, and surprisingly, the little poodle bites her. A little shocked, the girl walks away dissapointed. But she decides to give it another try. Maybe if she walks in slower and extends her arm slower, she will have a better result. So she tries just that, only this time, the poodle bites HARDER and even holds on for longer. Frustrated, the girl walks away, upset that such a cute little animal can be so vicious. But she still really really wants to play with a dog. Nearby, she she's an owner grooming his pitbull. A little nervous by how big and unsexy this animal might be, she hesitates to talk over, but the owner tells her it's OK to pet him. So the little girl does and is pleased by how passive this enormous dog is. Yet, her hand is still a little cut up from the little poodle bites. So she goes home, semi happy about the pitbull, but upset and yet, a little anxious about the poodle. So 3 days later, she walks in the same exact area of Riverside Park, and sees both dogs. Again, she doesn't have a dog of her own, but she just loooooooooves playing with them, and really really loves the cute looking ones. So her instincts tell her she needs to go to the poodle and give it another try. Maybe it just wasn't fed the other day and was grumpy. So she gives it another try and snap! The poodle bit her really really hard on the same exact hand as the same day. The dog bit her so hard, that she just might need stiches. Heartbroken, she runs away but as she's about to leave the park, she sees the big old pit bull and his owner. She's still a little sour about how she got bit, but decides to play with the pitbull. Yet like a few days earlier, the bit bull is welcoming, kind and just as cuddly as the poodle looked, and while the girl continued to play with him, she almost forgot how badly her hand was hurting.
What is the point of this story? Simple, it's almost the same exact situation with Quentin Richardson and Jamal Crawford. You have Q, who may look like a sexy option to play at your starting 2 b/c he's tall and strong and can rebound and shoot the 3. Yet, for this season, no matter how many times we start him, we seem to get hurt more and more, and then we use Jamal (And Frye and Nate for that matter) and good things happen. Clearly, Qs back is becoming a major major issue, and unless if we want Q to be a similar kind of victim Allan Houston was (Except younger with back problems, ouch!) then we should probably just pull the plug on Q until his back is completely healed. And if it isn't, then it's in our best interest to make a trade, or draft a bigger shooting guard to compliment Craw and Marbury and Nate. We can't repeat the Allan situation b/c it truely would be wonderful to have Quentin back and healthy, but he obviously isn't, so we just can't go and drive people into the ground. It doesn't work.
