Man what?
Jamal shot 38% from 3 in spot up situations while Rivers shot 31%.
Crawford has a 61.5% eFG% to Rivers 45 in spot up situations, once again, not close.
You can't even compare the two in isolation situations, Crawford is one of the best in the entire league, gets 1.07 points per possesion and scores 49% of the time.
Rivers on the other hand, is one of the worst. He turns the ball over 12% of the time to Crawford's 1% and scores 32% of the time while shooting 37%.
They both finish around the same clip at the rim, so yeah.
They are both horrible defensively but Rivers is even worse by all measure.
Austin is only younger, there's no way you can say he's "better" for the team in the least, you just like him.

Crawford and his efg% of 41% in the playoffs.
His offensive box +/- of -3 (127th in the playoffs)
His defensive box +/- of -1.2 (169th in the playoffs)
His VORP of -0.2 (205th in the playoffs)
Max him out.
-Edit-
Yea, I can't co-sign Rivers being a good spot up shooter. The only dudes worse than him in catch and shoot situations were Udoh and Big Baby I think

Adams/ MCGary or Adams/Kanter

Didn't think so

Crawford at age 40 would still be better then A rivers ...he had a couple good games and now clip fans wanna give him more responsibility 
Talking down on Crawford like he wasn't the only player off the bench that could consistently get buckets ...blame GM Doc for always having a piss poor 2nd unit which Jamal has no choice but to try to carry

A team who has Crawford as one of there main parts will never win a title.

So where was all this Crawford support during the playoffs when I was trying to tell all of NT that they shouldn't be blaming their woes on a bench player like Crawford?
Whenever the Clippers were playing there would literally be 5 pages of laughing emojiis and "washed" posts referring to Crawford like he was the main reason the Clippers couldn't get the job done

Main parts?
CP3, Blake, Reddick and DJ (defensively) should have been the main parts, not a 35+ bench player who should only be depended on to get volume points

Shoeking and Wavy had a team of jokesters and co-signers that killed the whole rationale is what happened
Edit: not blaming Shoe or Wavy for their co-signers because those two actually believed and argued for their points, the rest just joked on in about it pretty much

Statistically, he was literally one of the worst players in the entire postseason last year. I don't understand how, or why, people would defend that
I wouldn't go as far as to say Rivers is way better (especially not as a shooter) but I would rather not have Crawford on the team unless we can keep him under 10FGAs a game.

that's not saying much .
You can say the same thing bout alot of good NBA players.
From what I saw in the po. Rather keep rivers them jc just cause of age.
neither of them are that good.

Exactly, he's not their franchise player, he's excellent at the role he fills.
He played bad in the playoffs yes but I'll take the bigger sample size.

Again, Crawford was not the reason the Clippers were not getting the job done. If you go back and read game threads you would get the idea that he was

The one apparent pattern in their series against Houston:
In LAC's 3 wins against Houston, the role players played exceptional, including Crawford
In LAC's 4 losses against Houston, the role players all struggled
Yet somehow it was always all Crawford's fault. Reddick, Barnes, Rivers in those 3 losses were just as bad or worse
Next season, the Clippers have more fire power in Lance and PP so Crawford should be fine

Crawford's only positive trait is his shooting/scoring. He shot 34% from the field and 27% from three. Barnes had an awful series but how many times did you mentin that JJ was locking up Harden? You pointed out several times that whenever JJ went to the bench Harden would start cooking. So yea, JJ wasn't hitting shots consistently but he was providing great defense on the MVP runner-up.Again, Crawford was not the reason the Clippers were not getting the job done.

Rivers played better defense and shot the ball better. I don't care about blaming losses on Crawford. I just don't understand why people are defending his performance. Was he or was he not awful?
Barnes and Crawford were both trash that series.
