Crawford is better than Dion

[macdaddy]

Everyone's mad about Crawford's contract but he deserves more minutes than Dion. He's a better defender has a better short range jumper and drives to the basket better. He can't play 2 but let him have some of Jax minutes and it will make Jax better.

The reason we have big contracts tied up in CC and Hendu is that they were solid contributers on a winning team. Only Jax and Theo can say that and their teams dumped them.

You've heard the expression, "Between a rock and a hard

place."

That's where the Hawks are with the I.R. list. We have

three slots. Two are taken up by players who will not be

able to play this season.

We traded Big Dog for one contract, who is not really and

will never be a Hawk. It is simply a slot filled on the I.R.

The second is Ekezie, who suffered a season ending injury

in pre season. He was given a contract, then placed

on the I.R. for the season. This was the only right and

proper thing to do. I don't know whether the N.B.A.

required that this be done or not. Doesn't matter. That

was what was done and what should have been.

Hendu is the 3rd player on I.R. When he comes off, one

of the other players must go on I.R.

Hawks applied, but were turned down, for extra slots on

the I.R.

Crawford and Hendu are both better than most want to

give them credit for. We need contributions from both

of them. Right now, we are not getting it. Time for

this to change, right now.

We are still groping our way, as if in the dark. Some one

needs to turn on the lights for these Hawks!

is that Chris is willing to give help to Theo in the paint. There was a play where one of the Bucks drove to the paint Theo was wainting on him but Crawford was right there behine the defender swatting at the ball. This kept Theo from picking up another foul. If all of our guys gave help like Crawford the Hawks would have a better record.

I agree. Crawford has head knowledge. The more playing

time he gets, the better his physical ability will improve.
