    He's bashed on here a lot but I really like Crawford. i love his humble killer personality on the court. He did a great job of running the point last night. And I'm starting to notice he can get to the rim at will. He should look to finish there and not always pass.

    As for Felton, he worked with his shooting coach and it paid off. He shot great the last two games. I like the direction this team is heading with our new starting backcourt.

    Go Blazers.

    P.S. If you want to bitch, do it in another thread.

    I think what I appreciate the most about Failton & Crawful is that we have learned that the Blazer brain trust has little to no ability to evaluate talent. Because those two clowns are terrible players and were carefully selected to play pivotal roles for the team and have been as horrific failures as any in the history of the team- and I've been a fan since day 1 of the franchise.

    So because of their shitty play and innate ability to lose games for us we now know we need new scouts, better decision making in the front office (to include PA) and a real GM- so that's a positive about their play and what I appreciate about them.

    I appreciate that neither one of them make the Blazers a better team, which improves our draft pick. Which in the end is the best way to improve our team.

    They both played great last night. I'll appreciate them if they can start doing it consistently.

    I appreciate that they played very well against scrubs last night. Could've mailed it in, but they went strong.

    I can't think of a Blazer player who has received more criticism, yet has a 17 PER (primarily off of the bench), than Crawford.

    I appreciate just how bad a D-league team would look if they had to play a full NBA roster every night.

    I though they both played very well last night. I'm hoping that the new lineup will get Crawford more into the distributor role and away from his past image of being the closer. That wasn't working so well. I'm also hopeful that Felton will be able to channel whatever emotions he's feeling at having been demoted into playing at a better level. Something approaching even his career averages would be a marked improvement. If those things happen as a result of this move, then the Blazers will be a much more successful team the rest of the way.

    Well we know what SA looks like without their big 3.

    Maybe the Blazers without 2 of their big 3, really aren't doing that badly. Crawford and Felton do not come close to making up for missing Roy, but they do help (from time to time).
