Props to Jamal....... and (sorry guys) more Monta stuff.......

I don't know about you guys, but the way Jamal Crawford conducts himself and acts speaks truly of his character.  Let's face it, the Warriors organization hasn't really treated this guy very well since he has been here.  He probably feels underappreciated (which may too some extent may be justified), and if talks about Nelson and him are true, he should be very upset and fed up by now.  Yet, Jamal goes out, and tries to do what is asked of him.  He makes no excuses, and honestly just plays.  Think about how upset you'd be if your head coach comes up to you and asks you to opt out or you'll be traded.  I'd bolt the team right away.  This doesn't even matter about his actual performance (which I don't even think is that bad) and I don't want to hear comments saying "we don't need a nice guy, but we need someone that can play."  Well first off, this guy can play, but I think Neliie is preventing Crawford of playing to his full capabilities.  Let's not forget how well the Knicks were doing the first few weeks under the D'Antoni system and Crawford was averging 20+ points shooting a great percentage.  Second, as far as the attitude goes, that is very important and this will lead me into the next topic of discussion, Monta Ellis.

 

Monta Ellis just seems completely disinterested in the team.  I posted a few weeks ago how he left the game early because from what it looked like he was upset that he got taken out of the game.  Now, the next day we learned that his ankle was still hurting him so I lt it slide.  But once reports came out that he admitted that he wasn't hurt at all, I thought back to that Oklahoma City game at home where he showed absolutely no interest in the team.  Monta Ellis has been doing this for some time, as I have been to many games lately.  When the Warriors go on a huge run, everyone on the team will get up and give high fives, but one guy is always sitting on the bench, Monta Ellis.  Now, I love this guy and I don't know what's going on in his personal life but if this is the attitude that Monta is going to have (unless there is something going on with his mother, etc.) then I don't want him on the team.  Plain and simple.  I dont' know if his ego went up or what, but he is definitely not the same Monta Ellis from last season for whatever reason.
