Nellie Says Crawford Doesn't Fit in Oakland

[DC4]

Warriors coach Don Nelson doesn't hold back about why a backcourt of Monta Ellis and Jamal Crawford won't work.

"I don't think that the mix is good enough, it's just like with oil and water," Nelson said before Tuesday's game. "They're both really good players, but we need somebody that can guard a 2. Especially when you get into the good teams, the 2's are 6-foot-7, and Monta's not a very big guy."

Nelson sat Crawford against the Clippers to get Marco Belinelli some playing time - a process the coach said will be repeated against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Thursday.

He doesnt fit because he's the same exact player as Monta
Crawford wont opt out i dont think, so they're gonna have to trade him.

Why not use him off the bench? He fits perfectly on that team, a shoot crazy player like the rest?
