SPRINGFIELD, Mass.
Cheap NMD Shoes For Sale . -- Boston Celtics
forward Jae Crowder isnt thrilled with Kevin Durants decision to sign with the
Golden State Warriors.During an appearance at the Basketball Hall of Fame on
Thursday, Crowder repeatedly expressed dismay that Durant elected to join a
super team rather than continue to fight against the one that won an NBA-record
73 games last season.The Celtics were one of six teams that made a sales pitch
to Durant at the start of free agency earlier this month.We were the only team
in the NBA to beat [Cleveland?and Golden State] on their home court. The only
team in the NBA, the Boston Celtics, Crowder told MassLive.com. We told him
that. We played him clips from both games and told him basically the scouting
report of how we guarded Steph [Curry]?and Klay [Thompson]?-- our entire game
plan, basically. Thats what made me mad. We f---ing told him everything we do to
beat these guys, and we beat them, and he went and joined them. ...Afterward, I
was talking to Isaiah [Thomas], like maybe after you sit back, [we] shouldnt
have told him everything, but who the f--- thought he was going to Golden State,
realistically? It was like a slap in the face for us, basically.Crowder, who was
part of the Celtics contingent that traveled to the Hamptons to pitch Durant
over the Fourth of July weekend, echoed what many in the traveling party already
have said: Boston emerged from its meeting feeling as if it had made a real
strong pitch. Crowder felt that if Durant decided to leave the Oklahoma City
Thunder, the Celtics had to be considered a front-runner to pry him away.Crowder
remains incredulous that Durant chose Golden State instead.Toward the end of a
question-and-answer session during the Halls 60 Days of Summer program, a young
fan asked Crowder to name the toughest NBA player to defend. Crowder picked
Durant, which elicited loud boos from a crowd filled largely with fans in
Celtics green.Crowder smiled and said, Yeah, Im with you guys.Crowder still
enjoyed the experience recruiting Durant, particularly the fact that the Celtics
trusted him to be part of it. Crowder especially enjoyed getting to mingle with
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who was there to help woo the
ex-Thunder star.Youll never forget [Bradys presence], Crowder said. It was
unexpected. They tried to keep it as a secret and surprise [Durant]. It was
great just to sit back, have lunch and talk to [Brady] about anything he wanted
to open up and talk about. He asked us questions about basketball, of course.
And we asked him questions about football. But it was fun to just sit down and
talk to another athlete of his nature, even before the meeting, and just talk.
And meet him.The pitch, what he talked about was the city of Boston and the fans
and how [Brady] embraced it. It was great. I think Kevin needed to hear that. He
wanted to hear how it was living in Boston, and Brady told him about the fans. I
know [about the fans]; just like everybody knows. We told him: Theyre really
very passionate about their club and they really want to win. If you dont do
that, they let you hear it. But its all out of passion and all out of respect of
the game. They want to win; its all about championships here.Crowder believes
the Celtics have upgraded with the signing of Al Horford, and he believes the
team will find additional pieces to make it a surefire contender in the Eastern
Conference.I just text [Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge],
trying to see where everything is going, Crowder said. After [Durants decision],
I just asked like, Well, whats the direction now? And he said, Were still trying
to make moves. So that means were still active. And we still have a lot of
assets, we still have a lot of young players. So we gotta figure it out. We can
be as aggressive as we want to. But I do feel like were one or two pieces away
still.Crowder said of Horford: He helps out tremendously. My guys were telling
me something about [one media projection] predicted us to win 59 games.Hes going
to help us out a lot. And last year we won 48 games without a guy of his nature.
I just think that right there, what people see, speaks volumes. He can help us
out a lot. And his style of play fits right in. So its not like were trying to
train him into something that hes not. Hes going to play the same way hes been
playing. And I think hes going to help us out a lot.
