Should the Celtics Re-Sign Michael Jordan... I mean Jordan Crawford?

[aingeforthree]

No doubt you sign him.  Great backup PG option and Ainge stole him for nothing last year.  Why would we give up on a 25 year old whose playing this well ?

Obviously, you wait until the season ends and figure this all out.  Can Ainge, Stevens, tone down his attitude and body language ?  Those are his two biggest negatives for me.  He seems like a boob to play with if your his teammate and his body language is downright awful.  If you can get the young fella to work on that, than we're on to something.

He seems to get along well with his teammates.

That might be the case.  Watching the game last night, he had a couple interactions with the rook Olynyk.  I don't know what was said, but I couldn't help to see his facial expressions and body language.  It didn't look real positive, so who knows.

I just think the kid needs to tone down that type of stuff and just play.  Get back on defense if you do something crappy on offense, etc.  Just play.

I read that differently.  I noticed the interaction between Craw and Olynyk and thought it looked very positive.  It looked to me like two young guys who were engaged in the game, playing for each other, and wanting to make sure that they were all on the same page.

I think those kinds of on-court discussions are a sign of harmony and commitment to playing to win for each other, rather than signs of discord.  When guys turn their backs on each other and don't communicate during tough moments, then I'm more concerned about their unity than when I see scenes like the one you mention.

I read it entirely differently.  It happened twice during the game.  The first time it was under the basket and mic'd up a bit.  I couldn't understand Crawford because he's hard to understand if he's interviewed, let alone caught on an open mic.  It looked like he was sulking about Olynyk not being somewhere, or not doing something right, etc.

The 2nd time, same type thing but not as bad.

I would agree though, sometimes those things are great and needed.  I just wish players like Crawford would go about it the right way, and who knows, maybe I'm wrong here.  Maybe he did go about it the right way.

Looking at his body language and that sulking stuff he does after a call, etc.  I don't think he went about it the right way.

I'm going to agree to disagree.

Bill Simmons levels of body language reading going on here.

[LooseCannon]

What did Bill Simmons think of Robert Parish's body language?

No problem.

Going forward, keep watching his body language, after a call, after he gets another tech, with teammates after a bad play, etc.  Only issue I have with the kid.

It needs work.

Crawford was impressive last night but like Gorman said last night, sometimes Jordan is just Jordan.

It seems Crawford is playing better ball this season tho. If Crawford can continue to improve and play like he did last night on a consistent basis then yes, tha Celtics should re-sign him.

He could be tha back-up point or 2 guard after Rondo returns. Either way he provides tha scoring we needed for a while and he's playing good basketball right now. I hope it continues. He's part of what makes this team fun to watch.
