We all know Crawford is a knucklehead. Am I defending him? No.
Is this over blown? Yes.
JR Smith goes ahead to foul Terry with a flagrant, gets kicked out the next game, which they proceed to lose. Then says something that dismisses Jason Terry's existence/career. Which I find is ironic, because two months ago, JET would've said the same thing about his career. Not to mention the rumors of him drinking and partying heavily doesn't help him look professional either.
Then Kenyon Martin says something even worse, by being immature, and proclaiming that Wednesday, would be our funeral. Going as far as enough to tell his entire team to wear all black, then publicly stating it. Which I will type, that I'm surprised Mike Woodson let his entire team do it in the first place.
Not only did they go home dressed like Men in black. But Kenyon Martin's response to a reporter was with an angry and dismissive tone, "If you want to talk about basketball, then talk about basketball."
So you made that outrageous, yet offensive statement to us, and now you can't back it up with all that trash you talked? Sure you went 3-0. Guess what? Its now 3-2. And your going to be in our home court, surrounded by fans who will be up roaring every mere second of the game. Even if we lost the game, it'll show off the fact that you couldn't close out a simple sweep.
If what Jordan Crawford said is all true, I have lost a lot of respect for him. But the Knicks trash talked first. And I find it funny that Lala is now responding to Crawford, but didn't say anything to KG. Is she embarrassed, or is it all true?
In the long run Crawford was at the wrong, but what was Fatboy Felton doing getting all mad and flustered? If what Crawford said was true, then none of that pertained to you, and you shouldn't have even run the risk of getting thrown out for fighting. If anything, if Crawford gets ejected next game, then I'm pretty sure Doc/Danny will think hard about this in the off season. I just hope if Jordan gets ejected, so does Felton.
Who cares what the Knicks were doing? Be a professional, mature person and leave the court and let the Knicks act like the petulant children they are.
I'm only posting this, because everyone instantly assumes Crawford is making things up... No one has given him the benefit of the doubt, and oh wow someone wasn't professional!?!? Wow!
Stuff like this happens all the time in the playoffs... And if anything the Celtics aren't exactly the most professional organization, when it comes to trash talking.
Its called being a mature, professional adult. After the win, you want to go talk to the competition and say "good game", how's things, socialize...fine, do it.
But if the opposition is being a bunch of immature, sore losing, babies that can't act their age, joining in and doing exactly what they are doing is foolish, immature and unprofessional and you can guarantee that Danny and Doc chewed Crawford's ass off for acting like that after a game. Especially since he didn't even contribute to the win.
Just because your opposition wants to open their mouths and show people what stupid dolts they are doesn't mean you should open your mouth or act in the same manner and prove you are one too.
This is not college and high school ball anymore. These guys are pros representing an organization. Act accordingly, especially when in the uniform on national television.
BTW, does anyone else get that this is probably in response to the grief he might be getting IN HIS OWN LOCKER ROOM!!! He tweeted this at 4 am. Seems like someone had this on their mind for a while or was hearing it from possibly a team mate or something and decided this was a good idea.
Also, once again, by tweeting this response, you are opening your mouth and proving what a dolt you are, just like you did on the court that day. Just shut up and do your job.
So easy for you to say standing on the sidelines.
So because Crawfords a scrub on the bench he shouldn't react?
What if this were KG or Pierce he walked past and mouthed off to?
You're trying to cram a point down people's throats without considering any of the humane factors like emotion and loyalty that were at 110% intensity after that game.
You also have zero idea what Doc and Danny are thinking. What if they know Melo and Felton instigated the situation and they have Crawford's back for sticking up for the team. Would they scold Perkins or Posey for telling Melo they'd eff him up if he walked over and ran his mouth?
Gimme a break and use some logic. So easy to criticize the scrub from an armchair when you don't even know half of the story.
