Just think Crawford only played in the small LA media with Chris Paul & Blake Griffin on the team.
Sigh, Media has nothing to do with it. I've been monitoring Jamal Crawford all year for every single game, especially since he was on my fantasy roster. Crawford played just as good as smith in the first half of the season. But as the second half approached, he began to drop off significantly, while smith had to fill in for melo due to his injuries. When melo was out, they won at least 75% of their games, and this was because of smith who carried the team. How do i know this? I've been monitoring melo and the knicks for every game since melo was also on my roster. Not to mention that at the second half of the season he put up 7 30+ point games, most or probably all of them were from when he was coming off the bench. Crawford touched 30 like twice this season. Don't get me wrong, crawford had some really good games and was pretty flashy this year, but JR smith performed better on average. The most obvious indicator is the stats so i don't see why people are saying the vote was biased.
I like crawford more than smith too, especially since smith is a nut who takes some of the most questionable shots i've ever seen lol. But the guy performed better than crawford, and it even looks like he's polished his game a lot since returning from china.
