Jae Crowder Apologizes To Danny Ainge

What a pick up.  Great job, Danny.

When I saw the title of this thread, I assumed the "apology" was a tongue-in-cheek thing, which turned out to be true.  But I wasn't whether the lol apology was for the winning of the "Crowders" that Danny (at least I think it was Danny)  nicknamed some of Crowder's off-target passes.

It turned out to be the wins, and I loved Crowder's assertion that he's here to win games.  He also mentioned that he was not aggressive as a starter (I believe his role with that group was nebulous).  And I also liked his quote that, "Defense should never be in question."

Among the current eight rotation players, (I'm omitting Young as somewhere between a novelty item and a project), Crowder (1.0) and Jerebko (0.7) have the lowest turnover rate per minute.  Jerebko's figure could easily change as he plays more games.  But it's becoming fairly evident that, despite his sometimes frenetic play, Crowder does a pretty good job of protecting the ball.
