No don't twist it up. He said Crawford would be his #1 and JJ would be his "1A" that's a joke. Maybe his +/- was lower against "top" teams because of the fact that he garners so much attention. How many times has JJ been doubled on the catch this season? Virtually everytime. Why does Crawford need more minutes than JJ? If the hawks want to win that is a bad idea.

That is +1 in nearly a quarter less of play. Besides, you missed the point of his post totally. The Hawks where nearly a 50 win team last season before getting Crawford. Do you really think they would approach 50 wins with Crawford and no JJ. Based on what I have seen from the Hawks without JJ this year my answer is a resounding no! JJ brings identity to this team. I think fear that he may be leaving is why so many fans want to downplay his value. There are only two or three SGs in the entire NBA that could replace JJ in ATL and yield equal or better results/wins.

I am wit northclyde on this one. Jamal Crawford is what he is. A very good scorer who can have some really big nights. He had a huge 2nd quarter. JJ had the higher +/- in almost 8 less minutes.

Only an idiot would be glad JJ is hurt. He is the main cog for this Hawks team.
