Good game against a crappy team. Morrow's floor game is really getting a lot better and Crawford does actually seem to be turning into an ok defender.
Yeah, I have to say this was the first game, to me, that Crawford looked like he played a game worthy of his stats. Sometimes he'll score 25 points but on a very low percentage and doing nothing else to help the team. On paper, it will look like he had a good game, but a careful observer will notice that Biedrins contributes twice as much to the win while scoring only 5 points. Well, today, Crawford looked the part. In fact, he may have played better than his stat line (gasp!) He was getting into the seams, setting people up and reading the floor. Still took too many shots, but hey, baby steps, right? And Morrow looked solid again. I just wish people would start passing to him. That's one thing this team has no concept of -- finding the hot hand. I mean Baron was guilty of it, Jackson has been guilty of it, and Crawford -- c'mon, he has no clue. Those guys will shoot the ball no matter what. I mean, with Morrow, you can almost see the adrenaline coursing through his veins when he gets hot. I mean, the whole crowd knows it, and yet he has to sit there with flames coming off his hands as Crawford pulls up for another and-1 brick off the backboard. And Randolph should've played more. Good win though.
That was a pretty satisfying game for once. I've been hard on Jackson, Crawford, and Maggette all year, but I have to say they all looked good today, I don't really have any major complaints. Yeah, it's the Wizards, but you have to start somewhere. The Warriors actually have a .500 record at home, they're just vastly inferior on the road. They still have no shot at the playoffs but it looks like they are finally getting things together. Morrow is really impressing me too, and with Monta, Wright, Watson, and Belinelli back they are going to be a very deep team. Unfortunately that probably means they'll play just well enough to get another mediocre draft pick in the 9-14 range this year.
Missed the game and saw the box score. How the hell is Craw playing 48 minutes a game especially after playing 60 and 40 plus the other night? Nellie is an idiot.
Nellie will probably play Crawford until he is too tired to shoot accurately or he gets injured. Whatever comes first. We've seen it happen to Jack.
