Jae Crowder, See Ya When We See Ya

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I think much like IT he's come in with the attitude that they're automatically going into the finals. He's used to winning in the regular season and the culture here isn't great. Boston seems like a city/team where there isn't a divide when you're on it. I kind of like that or at least respect that. If you're a Celtic, you bleed green. You can't see that from the Cavs or they wouldn't be giving such piss poor efforts out there. Guys aren't Cavs, they're just themselves.
 
At this point, for now, culture needs to be prioritized over potential. Stepping over Love, after the day of press on the cavs and eyes watching, is inexcusable. You can clearly see Crowder and JR look at Love in the clip. And the next play is disadvantaged if you get it started before Love us up and ready. Crowder needs to make some serious amends, or made an example of. JR could have set a good example as well and chose not to. Anyone underperforming like those two need to show they are giving every extra effort they can.

This team might be better off trading Crowder or JR for RJ, and hang onto Channing. Team is emotionally ill.
 
There is something to this - he has been played out of position since he got here, and it's somewhat understandable that he's not happy about it.
Or is it he's not real happy to be in Cleveland ?
I watched him when they played Boston.
Didn't look like a player who was ticked so much that he wanted to show them up,unless his emotions are out of whack.
 
Lue should take this chump along with JR out of the starting line up next game, then get rid of both of them asap. That's along with the other dead weight TT and now IT too.

We have too many "role players" that have had semi success or better in their past. The amount of unwarranted entitlement on this team is ridiculous. We should be playing our younger guys with the guys that know what their role is. Not guys that are trying to cope with the fact, that they are now role players and nothing more. Similarly to how GS plays Looney, McCaw, Bell, Casspi, West, etc... But nope, our coach would rather have guys like Cedi, Ante, Jose, Frye, and so on rot at the end of the bench simply because he doesn't want to hurt the others feelings that they are washed up/not what they were.

This is exactly true. Lue is trying to keep everyone happy with playing time and in Crowder's case the title of a starter. I think that's why Lue hasn't pulled Crowder from the starting lineup, it will only mean he has to set a minimum amount of his minutes in stone. If Lue could pair down the rotation it would help out the team but he will piss off a couple players in the process. It's now up to the front office to do that job for him. I believe we would be a much better team if we had a 8 man rotation with Cedi filling in minutes for injury or guys having off nights.
 
Well Lue did finally bench Crowder, presumably to punish him for bullying Kevin Love
 
This guy may be the laziest slowest most pathetic basketball player i have ever ever seen in my entire life. Does absolutley nothing good at all . Yet somehow finds a way to not only get playing time , but gets big minutes as well! What in the f.....

I mentioned this before but from what I've read about him, Crowder just isn't built to be on a LeBron team. For him to be an effective NBA player, he needs to be in peak physical shape. For Crowder that means he needs to practice all the time and play 30+ minutes a game. Apparently he had conditioning and weight issues in college. He is built like a football player not a basketball player.

It's time for the front office to realize their mistake with Crowder and trade him. Same thing goes for IT.
 
Crowder couldn't stay in front of a fire hydrant if his life depended on it.
