The Warriors are allowing 125.3 POINTS PER GAME in the seven games Crawford has started for them.

They were allowing 104.3ppg before Crawford showed up. Is Crawford really making them 21ppg worse on defense? Wow. I love the guy, but wow.


L @ Washington 124-100
L @ Boston 119-111
L @ Cleveland 112-97
L @ New York 138-123
L vs Miami 130-129

L @ San Antonio 123-88

Too funny. To be fair, thats a lot of road games and some pretty cood competition. They probably haven't had time to work much poractice into the mix.

He's back to shooting his un-Godly 39% from the field for them as well.

Since Craw (and ZBO) left:
NYK defense: 109.7ppg allowed (9 games)

While Craw (and ZBO) played:
NYK defense: 105.9ppg allowed (11 games)

Knicks record before the trades: 5W - 6L
Knicks record since the trades: 3W - 5L

i think both teams are just having trouble integrating their new players into their offense... it takes time to get these guys up & running w/new teammates & new coaches... we've all seen Harrington struggling in his first couple games to find his niche & get used to where he should be looking to get off his shots... i'm sure Jamal's doing the same in GS... he did have a monster 40 pt. game recently that almost singlehandedly beat the Heat too, though he was the one who missed the final shot to win it in OT, same as Al the other night.

Jamal's averaging 20 pts / 5 ast / 3 reb since the trade, pretty much what he was putting up as a Knick.

Harrington's averaging 22 pts / 1.5 ast / 8 reb since the trade on about 40% shooting, which is not all that great for a frontcourt player.

i honestly don't see how Al has played much better than Jamal since the trade to be honest... it's been pretty much a wash for both teams.

look if u wanna take season totals when they suit your argument u can say Jamal's putting up much better numbers this season than Al on the whole too... i'm taking specific samples of Jamal vs Al since they were playing on their new teams... the fact is the production these guys have put up since they were traded is pretty much a wash.

i know u hate Jamal's game but dude, be fair when u criticize at the very least.

When Jamal was here this season, his field goal percentage was his career highest, I believe (I'll look it up) and his 3 pt field goal percentage was high. He was also playing better defense. Now Al is here, he's scoring a lot as well. Jamal's fg% is way down in golden state and Als scoring was down. I don't think there's a shadow of doubt that it has more to do with that very flawed and overrated system taking place in GS. This is me saying that, and I HATE blaming coaching and the systems. However, I think Donnie is probably telling Crawford to just go for his, kind of how Isiah told Crawford to do that.

D'Antoni is a superior coach, and one of the top 3 coaches in the NBA.

I think it's too early to have a definitive answer on the trade. There is often times an adjustment period and guys may start to mesh as we move forward in time. That being said, we all know that Craw plays no defense and do not neet any further evidence on this.

I can't understand why some fans still can't come to terms with reality when it comes to Crawful.

He is a terrible player and he is now Golden State's problem (LOL why did they trade for him?).

We're entering a new era of Knick basketball. One where multi-dimension players with heart and the mindset of team first get the keys to the city. Not one-dimensional arrogant me-first megalomaniacs. Don't let Craw's nice guy routine fool you, he thinks he's a superstar and he thinks we're all idiots whenever he made his "I'm going to improve" speeches. He's a clown and good riddance.

His latest bit he comes off as reading that we were stupid for cashing him in for a chance at 2010 - as if he was bringing us somewhere - and we won't get any good FAs in 2010 - so we screwed up by dumping the great Jamal Crawford off at a truck stop in Oakland.

Actually, we got the better player in return to be honest. Al may be somewhere between Zach/Craw and in the same mold but he's more team oriented and more efficient and more dynamic than Crawful ever was.

My fellow fans it's time to turn the page and realize what Jamal was: A mediocre chucker who has never won a thing in his basketball career. Be happy he's gone be happy we're looking to replace clowns like him with quality players in the future.

It's a good time to be a Knick fan for a change.

Let the whole Isiah "Younger, Longer, and More Athletic," -- "We're acquiring talented assets through trade." reign of TERROR slip into the night!

Time to let it go, rest assured your what if's can be answered with one big "Nope, they sucked, and would have continued to suck!", and step into the light.
