Is anyone else a bit bitter with Crawford's production with Clippers?

    I gotta admit that it really gets under my skin. I know our old coach pretty much screwed the pooch on Crawford by continually running ISOs with him; but he is seriously performing out of this world.

    I would think CP3 has a lot to do with it; but the majority of his time on the floor is when CP3 is having a rest.

    I am seriously hating on Crawford this season, so bare with me.

    As for Felton.... I really give two shits about how well he's doing now. He was so out of shape and awful at the first half of the season; it only explains just how unmotivated he is at being a good player.

    I'm a fan of Jamal Crawsome.

    Crawchuck was awful, but a lot of it was probably on Nate. After Nate left he just sorta rode it out I think

    No. I don't think HCP is that flexible.

    It's not like he's worlds better than what he was here. Shooting slightly better, but it's being in LA that makes it seem, with hype, like he is doing something way different than he was here.
    Also his numbers have gone down every month this season.
    Same with Felton. Nothing much different than here.

    Yeah it was like "The damage has already been done".

    Just think if we were able to keep Crawford. How confident would you be with him coming off the bench, instead of Price or Claver?

    Yes, I am. But like others, I blame Nate.

    Que sera sera.

    Crawford came to us 1 year too early. If he could have played with us this year under Stotts then we would not be worried about having to get a legit SG and trying to move Wesley to the bench as a super-sub.

    His production has been dropping off. Not sure why people are saying he should be an All Star. He's averaging 16 ppg on 42% shooting. Nothing special. Wes Matthews should be an All Star ahead of Crawford.

    WHo said he should be an all-star? I know I never said anything like that!

    Various writers and TV commentators. Oh and his teammates. Chris Paul said it.

    LMAO! Well they don't know shit. Crawford is one dimensional, but really good at it. He is a career 6th man that scores in bunches. He still can't defend and sometimes he can shoot you out of a game too. But I only bring this up because it would be really nice having him come off our bench instead of Claver, Price or Barton.

    but he's the same as what we had last season, and everyone here hated him. What's changed, other than grass being greener/perception?

    Well I think the biggest thing that changed is he wouldn't start for this ballclub. He would be coming off the bench and giving us much needed bench scoring.

    As with a lot of things (problems) last year his attitude would change and he wouldn't be playing for Nate.

    Really? Man my memory has been fogged then. I guess I was so upset at his lackluster performances and time on the floor that I just assumed. My mistake.

    I was never half as pissed at Crawford as I was at Felton. Felton was an unmotivated slob who was a cancer. Crawford was just someone who thought higher of himself then others did. And that's actually what I expect from most ball players. They need at least a little of that to make it. Screw Felton, but im fine with Crawford.
