Seriously, Would You Be Opposed If This Became Crawford's Team?

Sure, we all know that LA's the AS, but in terms of actual "leadership" and, dare I say, "closing" abilities.

He sure does seem to have the ear of his teammates. And, in a constructive sense, I don't know if that's such a bad thing. To me, it's worthy of at least a bit of consideration.

I'm sorry, to me, Aldridge doesn't seem to have that certain "it" factor. Conversely, I believe Crawford actually does.

Now, what does that all mean in the end? Heck I don't know.

 

Aldridge made the big shots in the 4th.

Crawford might be better starting though. Replace Felton or Matthews with Crawford or Batum.

 

Fuckin yes. I can't wait till he's off the team next year.

 

They just beat NOLA. Repeat, NOLA. Don't get excited.

 

There's a reason big men as a team's focal point on offense has mostly gone the way of the dodo, the game's rules make it far easier for perimeter players to play in space because of the hand-check rules and the fact that a big man still needs a guard to get him the ball in a position to score. It's got nothing to do with "leadership qualities" or having "it" ... and before you get too carried away consider the games where he's blown up and shot a high percentage -- the likes of the Hornets and Bobcats et al. I should say though that I'm glad he's playing more efficient basketball lately, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high.

 

He is on the Team, so YEA it is his Team.

 

I won on Jeopardy.

 

Crawford is the most articulate player on the team.

I rest my case.

 

Crawford's team? Hell no. He's a good 6th man. He can catch and shoot. He can crossover and pull up when you have to get a shot off in the last three seconds of the clock. He's an OK PG if you forbid him to shoot while he's doing it, or else he goes crazy and starts to think it's his team, and starts going one-on-five every time he touches the ball. And that's the problem. If this becomes "Crawford's team," it will no longer be mine. He is not, repeat not, Brandon Roy.

 

Oh, I see. You're just a h8tr.

 

Bottom line - it does not matter, this team needs to be blown up.

 

I still believe he has leadership qualities....which team appears to desperately need.

 

I think Crawford has shown he can shoot his way out of a paper bag, but only if the paper bag is wet. As for leading his team out of the shredded pulp, I don't see it happening. I think there may be an analogy in there somewhere, but I'm too hung over to be sure.

 

Personally, I'd like to see some of this down the line...

Nope. There is plenty of talent on this team. That's not the problem. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but lack of talent isn't it.

 

YUP. It all comes down to execution/coaching at this point. Sure we could use another C and better PG but overall we have all the pieces necessary to win games.
