Does Doc Trust Crawford More Than Bass?

[Bankshot]

Just wondering, because I noticed Crawford in near the end of the game while Bass was on the bench.  I'm glad Bass was on the bench, it was the right move, but I'm just wondering about the trust thing.  It would be amazing if he trusts the erratic Crawford over Bass.  Every time Crawford makes a move, I LOL.  He just cracks me up.

It means Doc trusts smallball with three guards and Jeff Green playing out of position at PF more than he trusts a lineup with two actual bigs.

No, he was giving Bradley a break. He's using Crawford as the fourth guard.

Not sure, bass is clearly the weak link in the starting lineup tho. Sully going down frustrates me more than rondo going down because of the guy who replaced sully!

Sullinger was quite frustrating himself with his inability to stop fouling.

Alot of those fouls were rookie fouls. He was getting the rookie treatment and he can't do anything about that.

Do you think anyone here has conversed with Doc about that?

Flairing out a step to far on the pick and roll and knocking into the ball handler is a foul no matter who you are. Sure many were ticky tack but Sulley has to shoulder some of the blame.

Well, someone has to be the weak link in the starting lineup.

Yupp Bradley got that same treatment as a Rookie

I'm not entirely sure that Green is out of position at the four. Hour many real post bangers are there in the league that can give him problems when he plays the four? Melo and LeBron both play a lot of four and they are similar to Green physically.

If you are a fan of +/- Green is +88 at PF and -30 at SF. If you aren't a fan of +/- his net PER (his per - the per of the player he is guarding at the same position) is +4.9 at PF and +2 at SF.

If Bass can play the four so can Green. neither rebound but Green is taller with longer arms, which makes up for girth he gives up.

He certainly trusts the erratic Crawford more than he trusts Williams, even though he's described Williams as having "great court vision."

Doc trusts Crawford more than any other coach ever could... I guess that's okay.

[gpap]

If he did, I wouldn't blame him.

I am not a fan of Bass. Very undersized and just kept getting outrebounded yesterday by Hibbert.

He's got a mid-range shot he makes 50 percent of the time, and that's it.

I would consider starting Green over Bass at the 4 and having either Wilcox, Terry or Williams as the primary 6th man.

Terry is actually the man 6th man right now, but Green is right there with him

You can't expect Bass to outrebound Hibbert. He's got half a foot on Bass.
