Look ar their shooting percentages from yesterday and you'll see they shot poorly against us.
The problem yesterday was 4th quarter turnovers and rebounding.
Smart for Crawford is a terrible idea, this coming from a guy who thinks Smart is overrated.
Until it mattered and the both blew by their men with ease to close us out. Doesn't sound like an elite defender to me. Kind of like when Rondo kept getting called an elite defender but let his man go by him over and over.
We are competitive with the best if we solve two problems. One is figure out how to stop the 2 and 3 on other squads. The other is to get more offense on our second unit. I think more Brown and Semi on their better defenders does this, and this trade forces this to happen solving both issues.
