    Felton was complete junk when he came off the bench in Denver and I expect him to continue to be junk coming off the bench in Portland. He's been on a long continuous pout since being traded from NY.

    Yep me too. I can't wait until this season is over. The good thing is Felton is a free agent this summer; which means we won't have to deal with his fat ass ever again.

    I watched at the end of the 4th last night when we were on a roll..... 3 times Nic was wide open and JC launched a contested shot with plenty of time on the clock. Please watch tonight and notice how he will never give Nic the rock!

    Don't worry buddy. All changes that will help this team in the future. Nate will be fired sooner than later. Just a matter of time. And this summer, we won't be seeing Failton or Crawful ever where a Blazer uni again

    hey mcmillian crawford isnt a pg can you please get that through your head. When he plays pg we slow down and the ball only leaves his hands in transition.
    For the love of all thats holy Crawford isnt roy or ray allen. yah for having the most stubborn coach in sports.

    This is like replacing a turd donut with a turd sandwich. Either way, you lose.

    It is close.

    Crawford: 419 shot attempts (464 points)
    Batum: 425 points (313 shot attempts)

    Batum has 39 fewer points than Crawford on 106 fewer shot attempts.

    For comparison:
    Felton: 321 points on 329 shot attempts

    Compared to Batum, Felton has 104 fewer points on 16 more shot attempts.

    If we REALLY want an efficient PG, we'd use Armon. He's by far the best shooting PG of the bunch. He's 100% for the season (1-1).

    And yet, Nate still chooses to put the ball in Crawford's hand with a green light to shoot??

    He shot 46% from 3 off the bench for Denver, and was otherwise about right in line with career averages on everything else.

    Yes, but due to the elevation in Denver, there is a lower gravity effect enabling him to better get the ball over the rim. In Portland, the gravitational impact on the arc of the ball results in many more shots bouncing off the rim.

    For Felton's sake, I think we should send him back to Denver.....gratis.

    This is just a desperation move on Nate's behalf. Jamal Crawford is not a POINT GUARD! He probably hasn't played PG since his days at Rainier Beach. I'd rather have Nolan Smith playing PG than Crawford.

    Nate, instead of scapegoating Felton, why don't you try to install some form of offense that involves player movement. At this point, Steve Nash could be the PG of this team and he would even fail. There's just no offense to run. When they're trying to feed the ball to Aldridge in the low box, the other 3 guys are just standing and watching. Against a good defensive team like the Lakers, it was no surprise to see that hideous 1st quarter last night.

    Nate is an ISO coach. Crawford is a good ISO player. This will be a great thing for Nate and Crawford. We will win a few games because of it, but in the end, we will get hammered in the playoffs where this offense collapses.

    Nate would be a fantastic coach for a team with one on one players.
