More bad stretch's for Smart, bad play from Crowder

[celtics2030]

Somehow Rozier gets blame, somehow Bradley gets blame

Smart can get a pass from his "hustle play"

or him getting blocked and throwing up trash at the basket.

IT might be dead by the All Star Break

This team cannot survive like this.

Need bigs and a nother efficient wing scorer.

Crowder looks like a 40 year old Gerald Wallace right now.

All the negativity in this town...

[hwangjini_1]

rant much?

I was frustrated with the shot selection but let's not call our guys trash.

No need for the over kill.

[celtics2030]

Why not some Jaylen Brown?

Crowder is averaging 13/5/2 while shooting 40% from deep on 2 makes/5 attempts per game average, and almost 90% from the line.  He is quietly having his best season ever and is far out playing his bargain of a contract.

im not liking that he is shooting 5 attempts out his total 9 and they are three pointers.

Im not saying he is terrible, but hes not the answer, and his position needs to be upgraded.

This team as it's currently constituted is not even good enough to make a big splash in the Eastern conference. Smart is not getting better on offense it seems like he has hit his ceiling which is low. If any team values him out there they need to pull the trigger on a trade before the word "potential" leaves his name.

if so, then perhaps tweak the thread title once more.

This team is not bad at all. Won four of our last Five. They can't win them all. It was a very good game tonight just came up short on a back to back game/ road and then home. I too would like more Jaylen Brown. I really like this team. Yeah but, Rozier not so much.

[TrueFan]

Smart and Crowder are both fantastic role players.

I think if Crowder came off the bench the OP would change his opinion on him or if we had another all star and Crowder wasn't forced to do as much.

We need an up grade with Crowder at the 3, yes, he has good points, he's a solid 3 point shooter, but his inability to create his own offense, he's not a good passer at all, his rebounding is subpar, many guards in the league out rebound him nightly, he's not a good ball handler which fuels his inability to get to the rim much anymore, he's undersized at 6-5 but also without being long.

I'd love him off the bench, should we grab an upgrade. Or Brown develops like he should.

With him being a starter, next contract his agent is going to use the fact that he is a starter to get a substantial pay increase.

3rd game in 4 nights...played the night before on road...RW went off big time...not worried about our guys.

This is so far away from now that it doesn't need to be our worry. Unless another team wants to massively overpay for Crowder, then there is no reason to include him in a deal. The contracts of IT, AB, and Smart are coming up soon and they all can expect substantial pay increases. We are also likely going to try to sign a max-ish FA this offseason.

Ownership needs to have some affordable contracts and Crowder fits this team/Brad's scheme to a 'T'.
