Box Score Why do those young bulls always make something remarkable at the end of season?As you can see Eddy Curry had a nice game too.
Even though Crawford did score 50, the Bulls won't be getting nowhere and he will always be the one-dimensional player that he is. Note the 2 assists, horrible numbers for a guard. Eddy Curry's performance is more encouraging.

He's sort of a weak rebounder, but he can score and pass. He's been playing improved D over the season, evidenced by several terrible-shooting by top-tier players that he was guarding (ex. Paul Pierce 4 pts on 2-21-04, Lebron 7-24 shooting)
Trip you need to shut your mouth, dont talk about things you know nothing about. Jamal Crawford is the most underrated PG in the league , great passer , penetrator, and scorer. Sad thing for the Bulls is , John Paxson is going to let him walk after this season. Jamal Crawford may go to Orlando, they have an option of combining a 1.5 million exception with the 5.5 million MLE. Orlando will probably pay him big, other teams will try as well such as the Hawks. But they are the only two teams in my opinion which will break the bank for him, and I think he will go to Orlando.

Not likely, we would probably resign him and trade him if he isn't gonna stay. If he went to any other team, i'd expect it to be Seattle, 'cause thats where he is from, or New York, because Isaiah Thomas has expressed interest in him.
JC is a great player but everybody has a great game now and then. This game was in over time and he could only manage to get 2 assists and he's a gaurd. Its ok no one is perfect everything wil come JC you'll get your triple-double.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">and i still don't get why baseball was on instead of this game.</div> Looks like JC was having one of those T-Mac and AI nights. Nice game my JC. The funny thing is that he predicted he was going to score 50.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting PG2:</div><div class="quote_post">JC is a great player but everybody has a great game now and then.</div> They do? Only 4 people in the NBA have had 50 point games this year. People may have great games once in a while, but most people great games aren't like the one JC pulled off. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This game was in over time and he could only manage to get 2 assists and he's a gaurd.</div> He's a shooting gaurd. Most shooting gaurds average around 2,3,4 assists a game so I dont see why this is a problem. Jamal averages 5 assists a game which isnt bad for a SG at all, infact good. When you score 45% of your teams points and you aren't a PG, how many assist chances are you going to get? Great game Jamal.
There were Rumors of Crawford gettin traded to the sixers awhile back...man I hope that happens this summer...He is really underrated.
Great game by Jamal. Same with Eddy. Again, they seem to go and put up a good performance, too bad it's way too late now. But, I guess there is always next year. But, that's also what I thought last year.

I think this game will do many things for the Bulls benefits, though: 1.Show Paxson what Crawford can do, and we keep him. 2.Increases Crawford's trade value. 3.Build confidence for Crawford. Even if this is just one game, it showcases his talent and shows what he can do as a #1 scoring option.
JC had a F A B O LO US game. I thought this thread saying that he scored 50 was like in 2 games or something. Wow, congrats to JC. Eddy Curry with 25 and 12, very impressive as well. I really thought Eddy would've have done just as good as Amare did this year by now. Next year he should be there, because I thought being as big as he is, that he would be an allstar caliber player by now.
I dont know why people are calling Jamal under rated. By NO means is he under rated at all. He has one good game and all of a sudden he is under rated. It doesn't show that he is amazing this year, is what I'm shooting for. But it shows the potential that he has to have great games and score the basketball.

Sorry if I don't get too excited over a meaningless performance by a mediocre player. Jamal scored 50. Wow. And what's our record? This might mean something to me if we were in position for the playoffs. But the fact remains, with Crawford, Curry, and Chandler we chalked up another poor season. Crawford was supposed to have have his breakout season. His season averages of 17.3/5.1/3.6 are good. But his shooting on the year is 38.7%. Those numbers, with that shooting average are very reminiscent of another not so "Rosey" player. Like I said. Its hard to get excited. Jalen could drop 50 on a given team. But I wouldn't want him back. He had poor shot selection, didn't try on defense, and overall, wasn't a good fit for the Bulls. Crawford is a younger, cheaper version of the same. Yes, he shot well tonite, but look at his season average.....obviously, we know what kind of games he is more prone to have. If we keep him, let's hope we don't pay him anywhere near what Rose was paid. Or we will have the same problem as before.
