OK. I've said many times that I thought Crawford has the ability to handle the ball, to deliver the ball to players where they can to something with it, to shoot when open and to get off a flaming bag of crap shot against the shot clock in an emergency. My problem with him is how Nate uUses him, and how he goes berserk and starts calling his own number like he's OCD. So...if he focuses on being a point guard and facilitates for his teammates, and ignores Nate screaming for him to be our primary (ONLY) scorer, that's fine. In the last game, he even addressed what had been a huge problem: He was passing the ball to Batum freely from the opening tip and throughout the game. (I seriously wonder if he reads what we write about him?) All I can do is hope all that continues.
RE Felton: He isn't really this bad, right? The second half of the season will tell. I said the other day I was feeling optimistic the break could help him get his legs under him -- and he started shooting better the day they reported his shooting coach came to town to help him out. Fingers crossed. He seems to be playing more relaxed, which is good for his shot. Even if we manage to get a better PG (unlikely), he would be pretty good off the bench if he keeps this up.
There you go Eric. Better?
