I see you weren't smart enough to finish your assignment.
You failed the class.
You're a F level poster, all you could do is call me "stupid" because I'm not hugging Crawford's nuts and giving reasonable reasons why Balkman did good for this team?
You're an unemployed Crawfordsexual, you're a professional at cleaning Crawford's ass with baby wipes. Don't try to front on here.
Look at what you're doing.
You're comparing Crawford's 40 minutes
to Balkman's 15 minutes.
Is that logical at all?
No.
You're acting like as if its equal.
Thats one of the dumbest things I've heard, almost as bad as the stuff on REALGM.
Do you know any math at all?
Do you know 15 minutes doesn't equal 40 minutes?
You're making yourself look bad here.
The sad part, you based your whole argument on that! LMAO
You're as one dimensional as your Sex God, Jamal when it comes to posting.
Crawford played most minutes on the Knicks, he's accountable for why we're so bad offensively and defensively.
Any Knick fan who watches the games throughly and doesn't focus and zoom in on Crawford's culo during the game will know the following.
Crawford's overdribbling makes the offense stagnant and makes defense easy for the other team.
When Crawford overdribbles, the offense becomes slow, he kills the pace and flow of the offense.
When you add that with a slow minded Eddy Curry, you're going to get a lot of 24 shot clock violations.
Crawford's inability to play within the offense has hurt us ever since his arrival here.
It is a fact that Crawford is more comfortable playing freestyle.
Whats the problem though?
Crawford isn't that good.
Crawford isn't Kobe
Crawford isn't Baron Davis.
To have Crawford play so much isolation and freestyle one on one will equal to a non efficient offense.
I mean, who really wants Crawford as their primary guy? He's the worst primary scoring in the NBA. Curry was the worst the year before.
These are C level palyers, just like Balkman.
How do I rank my players?
On terms of production, intangibles, overall talent, ability, and skill on offense and defense, experience, knowledge of the game, and ability to play on both sides of the floor.
Crawford's PPG isn't bad.
But when you look at his defense, his FG% and his one dimensional game, he would be rated 75-78 in any video game. Thats really a C.
Check out the per 36 minute adjusted stats.
Who would you want?
Candidate A
16 ppg
40% FG
3 rpg
1.2 stl
4.7 apg
2.5 tpg
Candidate B
10 ppg
50% FG
9.1 rpg
1.5 apg
1.8 stl
1.5 blk
I would choose candidate B.
Reasons
*ability to do a little of everything.
*complimentary role player who won't keep the offense stagnant
*elite defender with almost 2 stl and 2 blk per game...great help defender
*limited offensively, but still a very solid all around C level player.
This what we need to understand.
Crawford and Balkman are C level players.
The only difference is that Crawford is more one dimensional, where Balkman comes from other dimensions and contributes.
Sure, we know he can't shoot or score, but you need some one to do other the all other stuff.
That what makes Balkman special.
Crawford plays like a 6"2 off guard that belongs on the bench. He's nothing special since theres a tons of combo guards in the NBA and in the free agent market.
You always need those energic defenders off the bench, especially come playoff time.
See,
I think about WIN
When I envision the future for the Knicks, I envision WINS.
Thats why I supported the Gallinari pick.
He's a experienced winner.
Over Gordon.
Who plays exactly like Crawford with no handle and has no experience winning.
Keeping Balkman? WIN.
Having Crawford clock 40 minutes a game? 23 WINS a season.
All those stats you posted, throw them in the garbage.
Why?
Balkman was injured during that period.
Isiah didn't have a set rotation.
Balkman his rookie season averaged a double double per 36 minutes.
Every Knick fan knows Balkman's ability to ignite the offense with his defense.
As alway everyone knows Crawford's chucks, misses and turnovers ignites the other teams offense with open fastbreaks.
These are facts you can only get from watching the game.
If you can't see that, then you need to rewatch the games over again.
Cylde constantly breaks down Balkman's DEFENSIVE PROWESS and how the Knicks do better as a fast break team.
Toons, no offense; but you're pretty whack.
Swagger jacking off me? Damn, you can't be creative yourself?
I guess you learn from the best.
Paul1355, you haven't proved you watch much games at all.
