"SupaLion"!!! Crowder

Well fellow MFFLs, the time has come! Jae Crowder is finally going to get the minutes he deserves. Unfortunately, Jae's time to shine comes with a caveat. Another one of this blog's favorite players, The Matrix, is out for a small period of time. That blows. Oh well, this is professional sports - injuries happen. We were becoming concerned that an out of shape Troy Murphy was getting The Lion's share of minutes Jae was getting before he signed. Not that we don't like Troy...but until he starts making his open jump shots and gets up and down the floor with more fluidity, we are ignoring him.

Let's just list all the positives that Jae brings to the team. Number 1, his hair. Dude's hair makes him stand out to the North Dallas trust fund baby chicks in the bottom bowl of the AAC. Which, in turn, makes them pay more attention to the game, and they just may stop sipping their Merlot for a minute, look up from their IPhone5s and cheer for their home team. The energy level in the building goes up! Number 2, his tats. I think his entire torso and arms are tatted up. We like this for other reason than we miss Delonte (Love you, dog :( ). Number 3, the real shit...the guy's motor never stops. You are gonna get all that he has. You simply cannot make that same statement about at least 80% of the NBA. I know, it's sad. But it's the truth. Number 4, his production. He knocks down open shots, 3's, and 2's; he rebounds and defends. What more can you ask of an NBA player? From all accounts, his attitude might be his best attribute. Carlisle says he listens and absorbs knowledge, and that is key for an NBA rookie...and we all know what Carlisle thinks of rookies...he doesn't think of them at all...

Okay, so we love Jae "SupaLion" Crowder. We just made that nickname up; every cult NBA player needs a nickname.
