Crowder irate with Celtics fans for cheering Hayward (Going off on Twitter).

[Tr1boy]

I really wonder how Danny/cbs is planning to transition Brown into the starting spot or whoever else FA they sign

Bc this type of attitude makes it really tough.. IT4 has been the same but this season is proving why he belongs

If Crowder cant do the same then what does he expect?? The celtics to remain a middle of the pack team as long as he remain s a starter for the long term?

Tying in a racial dimension to this story is utterly ridiculous. Par for the course of the times we are living in though I suppose. People see racism where it doesn't exist or just flat out make it up.

Why else would he spell those words like that when he has never done that before? Just answer that one simple question....

Rozier does the same thing. Should I dig up the, "Is Terry Rozier in the bloods" thread from over the summer when he was doing the same thing? It's a millennial/Twitter thing.

It seems awful strange to me when he has never done it before. "You kan mall it whatever you want". I don't think Jae is racist or the majority of c's fans are, but its clearly what he is implying.

I linked the thread. Rozier does it too in a completely different context. It's slang/twitter speak.

So he has never done it before, but all of a sudden does it when he was feeling emotional like Brad said. Sry not buying it. Doesn't mean I want to run him out of town, but its not good IMO

You are correct. I cannnot find any history, on social media at least, of Crowder using this form of slang before.

[JSD]

I don't know what it means, but JR Smith ran into his own controversy doing it as well. Google searches suggest it is a Blood thing. But that's a pretty wild accusation.

ppl are reading far too much into this

ppl are reading far too much into this

i feel the same way, I get Crowder is upset, but now people are reading WAY too into it and start making things up. I'm just going to say, he's stupid for replacing c with ks when spelling things, and apparently it is a trend recently that people are doing. Time to move along put this behind us

Brad already came out saying Crowder regrets the twitter rant, we should all put this behind us since it was nothing to be concerned about

If Jae needs the tell himself this to add a chip on his shoulder to play well, so be it.

1. That doesn't seem particularly "irate" to me.
2. Why the heck would anyone cheer for Hayward?! Miss Jeff Green much?

Why do you compare him to Jeff Green? Hayward consistently is the offensive creator for the Jazz, Green wasn't consistent doing anything his whole career. Hayward is the type of guy who can get you a bucket in the playoffs when the other team double Isaiah.

Not sold on who he is as a basketball player. Three years ago he couldn't score more than 16 ppg on a team where the other scoring threats were Derrick Favors and Trey Burke. I am also unsure about his defense and about the fact that he has played in more than 78 games once in his career so far.

Lets hope the C's give Crowder a STANDING OVATION Friday Night...

And they don't cheer Nerlens Noel out there 

Same with Anthony Davis Saturday...

strange criticisms.

He scored 16 ppg as a 23 year old in easily the least efficient season of his career. He was able to collect 5 boards and 5 assists to somewhat make up for the scoring shortcomings.

The next season he scored 19 ppg, followed by 20 ppg and is currently scoring 22 ppg.

He has increased his scoring output every single season.

As for the durability concerns. 78 games is a pretty Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing high bar. He has never missed more than 10 games in a season.

Since you compare him to Jeff Green lets look at Jeff. He scored 16 points twice in his career. His age 22 season and again as a 27 year old. Hayward has already done it 3 times in 6 years and is basically garunteed to make it 4/7.

Greens arguably best season of his career came in his second season. He proceeded to be up and down the rest of his career.

So not only has Hayward already put together 2 seasons better than Green ever did and has improved every year where Green seemed to never improve, but hes also never missed more than 10 games in a season. Hes not an iron man, but please.

We really need to stop comparing every SF we don't like to Jeff Green.

Right, but unlike Jeff Green he a) makes plays for others, and b) got better after the age of 23.  The problem with Jeff Green is that he was essentially the same player at 29 as he was at 23.  At 23 he looked like someone with promise.  At 29, he's just a guy with a great basketball body that has a good game once every two weeks.  Hayward improved his efficiency while taking more shots, and has turned from a 16 point scorer at 23 to a 22 point scorer at 26.

I also think four years ago was a slight aberration due to a new coach.  Hayward had his worst shooting percentages and highest assist numbers that year.  Hayward led the team at 16 ppg, but they had six players average at least 10 ppg.  My guess is distribution came in part due to a first-year coach's strategy. 

But even if it was all on Hayward, that's not who he is any more, or has been for multiple seasons, and comparing him to Jeff Green is much lazier than your normal commentary.  He got better.  Jeff Green did not.  There are many other reasons they are different players, but that is the biggest.

Let's see.... the crowd Booed Durant because he didn't choose us...and they cheered an impending free agent--who they will Boo, when he doesn't choose us.
I didn't hear any cheers for him when he made shots last night--did hear a LOT of cheers for Crowder...seems petty for him to complain.

Oh yeah, this is huge news set to dominate Boston Sports talk radio for the rest of the week huge news. Proud I broke it on CB.

Don't take too much credit, JSD - jpotter had this to say at 10:34pm in the game thread last night.

I guess Jae got a little upset that some of our fans were cheering on Hayward in the intros, presumably due to wanting him as a free agent. Going to be interesting to see how that would play out if getting him as a free agent put Jae back to the bench.

It was then discussed for a couple of pages there before you 'broke it' about 1 1/2 hours later in this thread.

As for the actual story, I am really disappointed in Jae. I get that everybody has the right to be upset about whatever is ailing them, but not on social media, and certainly not at a fan base who has supported him so much. He has gone from being my favorite Celtic to definitely not...bummer

I made it a thread with since deleted screenshots that I uploaded myself. But don't worry, you probably got more love (tps) for saying, "YES!" in the game thread or making a fantasy trade. That's the way it works around here. So don't worry, I didn't get "too much credit".

Yeah, that's it. Go check the game threads and see how much I actually post. Rather than repeatedly talking about how awesome you are for starting a thread on the topic, why not actually give the credit to the actual person (jpotter) who 'broke' the news on CB.

You sure seem like a pleasant person.

I have no idea, but maybe he's just upset...it's crazy to suggest he shouldn't be on the team, SparzWizard.  BTW, I didn't know what using Ks meant until I saw this thread so don't ask me.

Glen ordeway was on weei this morning saying that Crowder is p---ed because he is hearing his name in trade rumors from his agent.

That would make more sense than just being angry because fans cheered for Hayward in warm ups.

And with him adding Orlando Magic on twitter, maybe a Vucevic trade in the works?

This is interesting, I'd rather not trade Crowder unless we are getting a star back. Vuc for Crowder takes us out of the running for max space this summer so I doubt we would do that.

I'd trade them Crowder for Gordon but there is 0 chance they do that.

The C's can't trade Crowder without getting a 3 back, otherwise they are punting on the season. We are already thin at the wing, trading Crowder would make the problem much worse.

Well, if Ainge is really considering trading Crowder without getting a 3 back then it means they are convinced Brown is ready.

Ainge also traded Perkins assuming without having a backup Center. He thought Shaq would be ready when in fact Shaq told him that he wouldn't be according to his book. So Danny isn't perfect. And if he does this deal and assumes Brown is ready, then he is mistaken because Brown is not ready to guard elite players imo. Vuc for Crowder would be a big big mistake and I would be pretty depressed.
