    The only reason to want Crawful to make the team is because he's flashy. He's more flash than substance and that's what people want to see in a rat ball, no D contest like the AS game.

    He absolutely does not deserve it on his own merit or contribution to the team. Calling him the second best player on the Clippers was a slap in Griffin's face.

    Crawford was like that for us too... it's just that he'd go off for 30 against a team we were already beating by 20 at the time, instead of a team we were down by 5 against... :sigh:

    What I don't ubderstand is why he's making everything he throws up for the Clippers. He couldn't hit jack shit for us.

    It's not like the shots he gets there are coming out of some miracle offense, it's the same iso crossover BS that we saw here.

    He had a coach to get fired.

    he is shooting a little better, but still only .423 for the year with 16.7 PER. not even close to all-star worthy.

    Crawford an "all star". What a joke. It really irks me that these fools argue he should be an all star. I simply do not believe Charles Barkley actually watches basketball.

    He's not. He's only making 42% of his shots.

    Probably also why Lillard didn't make it in; very similar in both stats.

    Lillard runs the team and averages 7 assist a game. No comparison. Crawford just chucks up shots.

    He was on a 2-year deal, letting him go has obviously turned into a HUGE mistake. He's exactly what this team is missing.

    Agreed that Lillard does So. Much. More. than Crawford, but his shooting percentages bugs me just a tiny bit. I'll get over it. :D

    He's only shooting 42% this season, and last year at the All-Star break, had a better PER and was shooting about the same as he is this season.

    The only difference is he's taking more shots, getting some more minutes, and playing with two All-Stars instead of one, which usually means your team is doing well.

    Barkley doesn't get advanced stats, that's all.

    Or was it? Would Crawford take time or attention away from Damian Lillard? I think he would. As much as he would help this terrible bench; I think a player that needs the ball iso like Crawford would put a choke hold on our teams growth.

    Re: I don't understand why people think Jamal Crawford should've made the All Star te

    We have absolutely no need for a chucker like Crawful. You saw exactly why we DON"T want him on our team last night. There are capable bench scorers that we can get instead who don't need to dribble the ball for 20 seconds every possession.

    So glad he's gone.
