GO STAMPEDE!

Terrel Harris? Let's see if we made the right decision.

 

[Darkwebs]

Here is how I see this game:

The Idaho Stampede are still fighting for their playoff lives. With only 6 games remaining, Idaho is only 1.5 games back from the 8th and final spot for the playoffs.

Only the top 8 teams in the whole D-League makes the playoffs. Both Idaho and Bakersfield are the only teams (who's not currently in the top 8) that have not been eliminated yet from playoff contention in the D-League. So both these teams still have a shot to make the playoffs and both will probably play this game with playoff intensity!

Currently, the Reno Bighorns hold the 8th spot, but Idaho will play the Bighorns in the next 2 games after this one. So these three games will be enormously significant in terms of playoffs implication. And the Stampede holds the fate of their future in their own hands during these next few games.

I have to believe that Crabbe will be playing in all 3 of these monumental games. This may be the D-League, but these next 3 games will no doubt have playoffs atmosphere.

I wonder if they have their beer cups figured out yet?

Thanks Darkwebs! Your OP says 3/25/14, but the thread title is right, 3/26.

With size like that, our coach should be on the floor.

In Summer League, I thought Terrel Harris was just as good/bad as our other drafted players like Crabbe, Barton, Claver, and Leonard.

This new starter Leslie--this is the 3rd time I've followed the team this season (3 senddowns) and each time, there are new major players and the old ones are gone.

Is former Blazer Diogu permanently impaired from injuries, or was he a big mistake early in the draft?

Idaho and Bakersfield are the only 2 D-League teams left which are neither 1) made or 2) been eliminated from, the playoffs!!!! Biiiig game tonight!!!!

 

[jlprk]

I have a computer problem, so maybe others can help me do play-by-play, at least at the end of each quarter.

 

[jlprk]

Well it looks alright. I have one tablet on the game and another on this thread. My main one is down.

Head Coach Peck is missing the game. He has 2 assistant coaches.

 

[jlprk]

Bost assist to Crabbe. Diogu counters. 2-2.

Lauderdale out tonight, leaving big Diogu unopposed.

 

[jlprk]

Crabbe has a foul, misses his trademark setup 3, misses a 10-footer. Diogu makes a close one, is just too strong. 8-4 us down.

 

[jlprk]

Terrel Harris quick 3! That's what Crabbe should do. They tried to feature Crabbe early but he missed 2. Now they're settling down and going to Murphy. Diogu, who's on the other team, has 7. 15-8 us down.

 

[jlprk]

Crabbe's been in invisible mode so we're down only 15-13.

 

[riverman]

Idaho down 1 now!

 

[riverman]

peck is on the sidelines according to announcer

 

[riverman]

Crabbe assist! Idaho lead!

 

[riverman]

Crabbe gets a board, Idaho still ahead

 

[riverman]

Stampede up 4

 

[riverman]

jlprk...maybe try plugging in your computer?

 

[riverman]

More people on the bench than in the stands though..hmm? That much to do on a Wed night in Boise?

 

[jlprk]

Effort now! Crabbe playing good team ball on offense. There's pizzazz in his pazzez! (That means passes.) He missed an in and out from a corner stepback. He's playing well, just missing his shots. He's mainly just a shooter, so that's bad, but hey, I'm having fun, so who cares about his career. 21-17, us down.

 

[jlprk]

peck is on the sidelines according to announcer

Yeah, Peck is there. They said he wasn't, before the game, but I must have misheard.

 

[riverman]

Tied at 21

 

[jlprk]

Who is Billy Baptist?

 

[riverman]

Peck looks just like my nephew

 

[riverman]

Who is Billy Baptist?

distant relative of John?

 

[jlprk]

25-21, end of the 1st. Attendance looks like 300.

 

[jlprk]

See that pink clown float? In previous games, it looked over the shoulder of our FT shooters. Kind of funny.

Scott Machado, backup PG, injured and not playing tonight.

Crabbe definitely not a star on this team. He needs many more D-League games, I hope for the rest of the season.

 

[riverman]

Crabbe getting hot

 

[jlprk]

Billy Baptist dunks, Crabbe answers with I think his first points.
