Jamal Crawful, or Jamal Crawsover?

We cannot question the talent of Jamal Crawford of the New York Knicks; no doubt about it, hes an important part of the team.

Though, there are glimpses down the stretch where i have seen Jamal Crawford struggle to find his shot, or better yet, chucks the ball up in important parts of the game, hoping that the ball finds its way into the basket.

Many New York fans may question his consistency, and they have a reason to.

let's date back to a couple of games ago, before the All-star break.

Remember the overtime loss against the Utah Jazz on Feb. 10?

Jamal Crawford was consistent throughout the game, having 29 points, shooting 10-21 from the field, as well as grabbing 10 boards.

When it came towards the end of OT, we found the knicks down by 2, after leading throughout the game, with a couple seconds left. Who better than too put it in the hands of Jamal Crawford, right?

What happens? He drives to the rim, with all the defenders guarding him, and is unable to get a shot off.

When Jamal does well, i expect the Knicks to do the same.

When it comes down to game winners, Jamal hasnt exactly earned the name of "Mr.Clutch".

There are many more players on this Knick team, and i expect Jamal to notice that. There have been many more instances where the ball ends up in Jamal's hands in the most clutch time of the game, where he fails to create.

My cure? we give someone else the ball. Some preferable suitors include Stephon Marbury; he almost never fails to create, whether it is driving to the basket, or passing to another teammate; Channing frye, who seems to have a quick perimeter shot, where he continues to improve and add that to his arsenal David Lee, the reigining rookie-sophomore game MVP, who never fails to amaze New York fans, and last but not least, Eddy Curry, who, with help from other Knick players, seems to be a monster in the paint, and likely to draw a foul.

As the season progresses, I expect this young Knick team to make better decisions, with help of the veterans like Stephon, Francis, Kato, and as well as the leadership of Malik Rose.

When Jamal is hot, i expect the atmosphere of the game to change...

So the answer? let's just say hes none other than Jamal Crawford.

This is Blaze, signing out for the night.

-Thanks!!
