Is anyone else a bit bitter with Crawford's production with Clippers?

[magnifier661]

I gotta admit that it really gets under my skin. I know our old coach pretty much screwed the pooch on Crawford by continually running ISOs with him; but he is seriously performing out of this world.

I would think CP3 has a lot to do with it; but the majority of his time on the floor is when CP3 is having a rest.

I am seriously hating on Crawford this season, so bare with me.

As for Felton.... I really give two shits about how well he's doing now. He was so out of shape and awful at the first half of the season; it only explains just how unmotivated he is at being a good player.

Hey is that avatar HCP in drag?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Crawchuck was awful, but a lot of it was probably on Nate. After Nate left he just sorta rode it out I think

No. I don't think HCP is that flexible.

 

[RR7]

It's not like he's worlds better than what he was here. Shooting slightly better, but it's being in LA that makes it seem, with hype, like he is doing something way different than he was here.
Also his numbers have gone down every month this season.
Same with Felton. Nothing much different than here.

Yeah it was like "The damage has already been done".

Just think if we were able to keep Crawford. How confident would you be with him coming off the bench, instead of Price or Claver?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yes, I am. But like others, I blame Nate.

Que sera sera.

Crawford came to us 1 year too early. If he could have played with us this year under Stotts then we would not be worried about having to get a legit SG and trying to move Wesley to the bench as a super-sub.

 

[KingSpeed]

His production has been dropping off. Not sure why people are saying he should be an All Star. He's averaging 16 ppg on 42% shooting. Nothing special. Wes Matthews should be an All Star ahead of Crawford.

WHo said he should be an all-star? I know I never said anything like that!

Agreed.

Various writers and TV commentators. Oh and his teammates. Chris Paul said it.

LMAO! Well they don't know shit. Crawford is one dimensional, but really good at it. He is a career 6th man that scores in bunches. He still can't defend and sometimes he can shoot you out of a game too. But I only bring this up because it would be really nice having him come off our bench instead of Claver, Price or Barton.

but he's the same as what we had last season, and everyone here hated him. What's changed, other than grass being greener/perception?

Well I think the biggest thing that changed is he wouldn't start for this ballclub. He would be coming off the bench and giving us much needed bench scoring.

He only started 6 games for us last season.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

As with a lot of things (problems) last year his attitude would change and he wouldn't be playing for Nate.

Really? Man my memory has been fogged then. I guess I was so upset at his lackluster performances and time on the floor that I just assumed. My mistake.

I was never half as pissed at Crawford as I was at Felton. Felton was an unmotivated slob who was a cancer. Crawford was just someone who thought higher of himself then others did. And that's actually what I expect from most ball players. They need at least a little of that to make it. Screw Felton, but im fine with Crawford.

Nate's offense didn't bode well in the slightest for Crawford.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Crawford, Felton, Wallace, Camby....they were all unprofessional bums. Good riddance.

 

[tlongII]

I like Crawford. Can't stand Felton though.

Fuck Crawford; that jackass froze out Batum for half the season.

Bless Crawford! Freezing out Batum made him look worse to the other GMs, so only Khan bid on him!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I was never in the hate Crawford camp. He was not part of the Felton, Camby, Wallace mutiny. He likes the NW, said good things about the city and fans, is generally a very nice and real person and most importantly did everything that was asked from him. He just had a poor shooting year in a very funky short season.

But he came here to be a 6th man who could provide instant offense and ended up asked to play the PG position. He tried, was bad at it and got hate for it and for shooting too much . .. but that is who Crawford is and is better than average at creating his own shot.

I remember he wouldn't pass the ball to Batum if you kidnapped his family and put a gun to his head. Fuck Crawchuck.

Ha, ha, I didn't see your post. LOL I almost mentioned it was Batum's contract year, too.

Ball hogs always, without exception, diminish the overall team performance. Crawchuck was the worst ball hog I have ever seen. I don't have the slightest idea if he's improved on that aspect this season, nor do I care. Good riddance.

 

[PapaG]

Yep. He is shooting slightly better this season, but his PER is only 16.7, compared to 15.7 as a Blazer. I always wondered why people were complaining about him. His job was to be able to create his own shot off the bench, because the Blazers didn't have a player who could do that, even in the starting unit. This season, both Lillard and Batum are able to create offense off the dribble, and luckily they are much more rounded players than Crawford.
