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

[KingSpeed]

(Ahem, Webber, Barkley..)

16 ppg, below average shooting, 2 apg? I don't get it.

Lillard, Batum, and maybe even Hickson deserve it over Crawford.

Thank goodness the coaches got it right. Geesh.

because the Clippers are the new darling of the NBA

16 PPG in bench minutes. He's likely the best 6th man in the league right now. Or at least in the discussion.

because they are morons.

barkley would have left tim duncan off the team for crawford.

Gnarls Barkley and other analysts just don't get it sometimes. They are about statbo parts of the game. They ignore win share % or being a dominant pf that most teams and coaches prepare for.

Curry was a snub, but he would have to go for either lee or Zach, since they were wild card votes. Aldridge was shoe in because he was voted all star reserve for forwards.

He plays THIRTY minutes a game and isn't even the highest scoring bench player in the league. All he does is shoot and he doesn't even make 42% of his shots. It makes no sense to even CONSIDER him to be an All Star.

i assume it is just based on the total number of ballots a player is on with regular and wildcard votes not differentiated.

zach was named ahead of LMA so apparently he was on more ballots.

Lee was last, so if Curry bumped anyone it would have been him... but coaches won't vote in 6 guards yada yada, so Lee is an all-star.

Because he make highlight plays. I guess. It's image over substance, like usual.

Whats funny about that comment is that the All Star Game is dominated by wings and guards.

LaMarcus will probably play 6 minutes again.

They're not really bench minutes, though. Based on MPG, he's 99th in the league. With 30 teams, that's basically 3 guys per team with more than he has. He plays 4th starter type minutes. Hickson averaes the same amount of minutes as he does, and is averaging a double double. Nobody would even closely consider him a snub.

Probably true. Of course, going just off of his body language, he looked last year like he had no interest at all in playing in the game. Of course, that $250,000 bonus for being named is awfully nice.

can't wait for LMA to play with the redux westbrook/harden backcourt. he'll be lucky to touch the ball.

Well done. Very solid point! Plus, Hickson's efficiency ratings are much higher that Crawford's.

Hickson was robbed!!

That okc troll is still coaching this time as well? Can't wait to not watch the all star game

Barkley was making the argument that Crawford and others should.get in since.they. had not previously. I do not think a better player should be penalized.

Well that and Crawful is a horrible choice for an all star.

Geesh, if they want highlight plays, let's introduce them to Lillard and Batum.

As I said, Hickson, Lillard, and Batum deserve the All Star team ahead of Crawford.

Crawford's never deserved to get in. Chuck's gotta lay off the booger sugar.

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

He plays in LA. Media market dominance.

I dislike GSW but have to agree Curry was a big time snub. The reason the team is good, a big part anyway, is that Curry is healthy. Yes, they've added some good pieces but without Curry they're lucky to be .500.

 

[illmatic99]

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

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.

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

Simmons chimed in on this:

There are seven "Uh-oh, he's heating up" scorers in the NBA right now: Durant, LeBron, Kobe, Melo, Harden, Kyrie Irving and Jamal Crawford. This is why some people (stupidly) believed that Jamal should have made the All-Star team — that list speaks for itself.

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

Simmons chimed in on this:

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...

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

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.

I think Jamal is a pretty cool guy. Eh scores lotsa points and doesnt afraid of anything.

He had a coach to get fired.

Good point. Retire Crawford's number!

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

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

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.
