Trade Crowder and Thomas as soon as possible/ The recent big 3

[pearljammer10]

If Smart didnt make a stupid play Crowder and IT (and Sully and Bradley who were also upset) wouldn't have had a "stupid" reaction.

This is on Smart. Listen to your coach. Plain and simple, end of story.

Wow , actually thats a decent deal for a good role player. It flew by me.

IT's deal is good too.   Looking at the wrong players to dump.

[tarheelsxxiii]

I don't see it being all that bad. Yes, IT looks like a 5 year old. Crowder looks like he wants to join in on IT's meltdown. But it was a boneheaded thing to do. I doubt they'd lose their marbles like that if it had been the first stupid thing he's done in a meaningful moment.

Related to the big 3, OP -- you don't think they were incredibly hard on everyone? You must've missed KG making Big Baby cry on the bench. They were atrocious... but they held everyone to a higher standard. That's what it takes to win. [dang] near perfection.

I can understand how you may want to see guys other than IT and Crowder in positions of leadership. Easily argued they're little more than "role players," too... for as murky and ill-defined as that descriptor is around here. But in general I don't mind guys getting chewed out by teammates for boneheaded plays in meaningful moments.

Maybe this is just my patience running thin for everyone on the roster, though. Haven't watched a single game since the LAL loss and am probably happier for it. Time for change.

I never saw them jump around like babies during the game......

Baby cried because Garnett gave him tough love...big baby was just a puss,

Isaih jumped around like a loser, and i know [dang] well Marcus isnt happy with that, you dont do that. You dont show your teammate up like that.

I know for a fact the big 3 wouldnt and never have done that. So its impossible for you to tell me. They never have come close to what IT did.

[Beat LA]

Thomas looked like a baby

and Crowder acts like he's never done anything stupid. He always does stupid things.

The same goes for his ridiculous whining after he misses and layup and expects to get bailed out by the refs.

Especially when he, like Smart, beats the crap out of people the whole game.  Btw, am I the only one who thinks that Crowder looks like Serena Williams with a beard, lol?  I'm not trying to be insulting, I just happened to notice a facial resemblance during a postgame interview a little while ago.

Nobody cares about your opinion. YOUR opinion does ont matter, im talking in the generality of the team. You feel that they should be upset. OK.

My point is the reaction they gave. Pure childish. Any vet would have destroyed them after the game.

I have an issue with it, because who is anybody on our team to criticize another? It's one thing if KG or Pierce or Lebron go out there and scold a guy for a dumb play. It's another for IT, who is coming off a three game stretch where he has been absolutely terrible, and Crowder, whose shot selection might be even worse than Smart's, to act like that, given that they do just as much dumb stuff as that.

Lol. Thank you -- we could use more of your humor around here in the near future. Please keep us entertained while the walls cave in around us.

Not it's not , its during the play when he goes haywire. Hes telling him to put it up so they can win the game

[Tr1boy]

Ever since Crowder and IT started , things haven't gone smoothly for this team.  The balance is off and guys are too dependent on IT/IT hot dogging it on the offensive end

Just because you go down with an injury it should not mean you lose your starting spot.

CBS needs to get things in order instead of playing musical chairs with the lineup situation

It's one thing at the end of a game to have a careless drive to the hoop like IT4 does so often or maybe an off balance shot by Jae early in the shot clock.  Plays like that we get frustrated about but are much different than this.  Those are plays which ultimately are still trying to help the team win.  This wasn't a play where Marcus was trying to help the team.  He completely lost his cool because he thought he got fouled on the other end so he hacked Chalmers.

Tired of these "leaders" These guys need to be trade to get the ball rolling, you can't win championships with these role players starting

They p---ed me off when they tore Marcus Smart down in front of thousands at the game and thousands watching.

Totally Pathetic , I wanted to slap Thomas and Crowder upside the head.

That's one thing you never saw with the recent big 3 champions. Paul Ray and Garnett never did that type of stuff, never embarrassed any of the teammates like that....They were hall of fame players at that point and

now you got two role playing scrubs like Crowder and Thomas who are getting starter minutes who in reality will never be nothing more than role players are on decent good team.

They can have their fun right now acting like they are something.


TRADE these guys for more picks or offer them in a package , Let Smart play 40 minutes a game and do what he has to do to develop

dont let these bootleg starters tear down the young players that were picked as potential future players.

Selective memory rules all.

Also just a heads up Marcus apologized to the team in the locker room after the game.
