I've never been a Crabbe fan, though I've tried to keep my opinion on the down low because of all the avid fans of AC on this board. Ive always felt he was WAY overvalued. Now it's time to move him to the end of the bench. That or cut him. The guy is so incredibly inconsistent. He was been given a bundle of chances to prove himself last year (too many IMHO) and just can't seem to handle it. One hot preseason game doesn't mean squat. Maybe he spends too much focus on his hairdo. Regardless, it's time to give all his minutes to Harkless and to start combing the waiver wire for someone better. Yeah I know it's only the second game but I'm done with him. After having said all that, I hope all you Crabbe fans have an opportunity to rub my nose in this post sometime later in the season if he finally gets his shit together on a regular basis. I would have no shame in being wrong about AC. But he has a very long way to go...

Amino looks like he might be the answer. He has a pretty smooth stroke from outside and can drive to the hole. Let him work on his dribbling and handles a bit more and he might be a 17/8 kinda guy. Just waht we need with that SF spot when you combine it with potential first/second team all D.

That's what I've been saying from my experience from NBA2K16.

He played great in summer league and a couple preseason games. He was ok as a starter last year which wasn't bad considering our bench. When he misses shots he still contributes on defense. We aren't giving him an extension now or anything. I'll hold out my final opinion of him. I would be fine giving some of his minutes to Harkless. I also want to see Aminu fresh with minutes capped around 30. Crabbe's defense is much better than CJ or Dame so if teams aren't trapping I like having him at the 2 guard. We will have injuries at some point so Crabbe will have many chances to prove himself. As you said its 2 games ;)

Our whole team got in foul trouble pretty fast..Hornicek was prepared with a game plan that took CJ out of the game..Tyson Chandler had a monster game which didn't help

Yeah...I know that there has been enough said already, but this was so out of the ordinary. From the first tip we were getting phantom calls. Not just one or two players, but the entire roster. Not like we have a reputation for being physical.

Even with all of the poor calls, we hung with them till we could no longer put together a line up that could maintain any momentum. I would want a review of the game and the refs held accountable for throwing the game..at least investigate these guys cause something stinks.

You base players real potential off of video games? I know video games try to be real as possible, but personality is a huge factor in a player.. other than that, im kinda at a loss for words....

I know people don't believe in such things as a bad win or a good loss. Just got home from the airport around 2;45AM (We beat the Suns here by the way)

I wish they wouldn't play extra games at the airport, it's dangerous with all the luggage everywhere. But I'm glad we won.

I would be down for getting Harkless some more minutes at the expense of Crabbe. I think Crabbe still deserves some more chances though. I wouldn't cut him or anything like that. I am pretty sure Neil is going to be evaluating him throughout the season and will make a call during the upcoming offseason. I like some things that Crabbe does. He is actually pretty damned good at anticipating steals and getting into the passing lane. He also has active hands on defense. He just seems pretty clumsy with the ball on offense though. He needs to work on his handles and learn not to dribble into traffic without having a plan of escape. I think those are learnable skills. I don't think he could ever be a starter in this league, but if he works on a couple aspects of his game, he could be a good 3 and D guy in the future. Let's see what he looks like at the end of the year. Just my opinion.
 
Sorry, but not much good came from this one

Yes, but you guys are forgetting one thing. We are so incredibly.....

PLUCKKKKKY!
 
Since this team has zero shot at sniffing the playoffs, every loss is a good loss. It gets us closer to another potential star. Something this team needs

Same here. But the $100 from Mags will be a nice consolation prize.

Knowledge is good right? I saw good from this then. I saw that Meyers isnt ready for a starting role at this point. I saw that Amino is. I saw that Dame got tired on this back to back, it was obvious with his late, off the front rim, free throw misses late in the fourth.
I saw that Harkless can get to the rim and might be our third best slasher.

These are all things I would Assume Stotts is also learning and will key in on as he improves the rotation, plays, etc.
There was some good.
