RENO BIGHORNS @ IDAHO STAMPEDE - 3/29/2014 - SATURDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), YOUTUBE

[jlprk]

Crabbe gets his 2nd foul driving. Elbow supposedly but really a flop. He gets emotional, great!!! Bounces the ball hard. Last game, I discovered that's when he gets good. 2 minutes into the quarter, 32-27 us down.

 

[jlprk]

Crabbe lazy and unemotional. Doesn't get to receive the cstch and shoot, opponent beats him there and intercepts. This is what his Berkeley coach was always down on him about. Crabbe gets his 5th rebound. 34-31 us down.

 

[jlprk]

Where did that Koolaid guy go! Nowadays you can't count on anyone! Right, Riverman? Riverman?

 

[jlprk]

Watching these guys it makes me understand why they're playing in the D league...not lights out shooters

The pace is too fast. That causes the frenzied shooting.

 

[jlprk]

Crabbe's been out so I'm looking at the box score. First time during a game during any of Crabbe's Stampede games, I think. Hiseffectiveness is .42 per minute, good but nothing special.

Commentator says Coach Peck will not be back, since Blazers are dropping sponsorship. He came here from being a high school coach. My thought: Will he be a Blazer assistant next year? He was in camp the last 2 preseasons.

 

[jlprk]

Halftime 50-45 we're down. I think Crabbe is being saved to win the game at the end. If so, it proves he is the next Brandon Roy.

 

[Darkwebs]

Okay, I've caught up. Good half by Idaho. Too bad they have so many injured players and their leading scorer was tossed out of the game. The Bighorns have a size advantage, but Stampede have been hustling.

Crabbe seems to be underutilized

 

[jlprk]

In a taped interview, Peck doesn't expect to be with the Blazers. Here's what I found about him at Findlay Prep.

496 !

Hi Darkwebs. I'm lonely here. Murphy was kicked out 4 possessions into the game with 10:37 left, I think, which would be 83 seconds of play.

Crabbe starts the half, finishes a break, 2 points. 54-49 us down.

 

[jlprk]

Crabbe scrambles in there on a pass, misses, later gets a rebound. He can slash. Not just a shooter. He fouls trying to stop someone inside. Good. Be a small forward. Stay out of the corner. He rebounds.

 

[riverman]

fell asleep, Crabbe needs some B vitamins?

 

[riverman]

Crabbe is not going to get much attention with the body language he's shown in two games. Seriously slumped shoulders, gives up even when he fouls

 

[jlprk]

Crabbe assists, later rebounds but loses the ball, just stands there in frustration. His mind is rarely centered. You can call it work ethic, effort, maturity, etc. He has shot 3-9 and he'd be better with mental toughness. Misses a 3. 68-56.

I hadn't read that when I posted the same thing.

 

[riverman]

wow, there's an echo in the chat..chat..chat...chat

 

[riverman]

not crashing the boards, hangin out in the 3-t area with his hands in his jersey

 

[riverman]

Will Barton must kick his ass in practice

 

[riverman]

Welp, Idahos season is on the line and they look like they're all ready for it to end..it's too bad

I'm starting to sound like Sinobas

 

[riverman]

Story line of the night seems to be honoring people who are leaving or have left already

 

[jlprk]

76-6 end of the 3rd quarter. Coach has given up on Crabbe. He's not in. Chase Budinger had 1st round shooting talent but was taken in thr 2nd round because scouts questioned his effort. He surprised after a couple of years. I think he is Crabbe's ceiling.

Crabbe starts the 4th quarter.

 

[jlprk]

He gets a rebound. Unless he explodes now the team won't make the playoffs. Misses a very long 2, is 3-11. Sits down.

 

[riverman]

Blazers have sent Freeland, Claver, Barton, McCollum and Crabbe to the D league...Crabbe is the only one who didn't light it up

 

[jlprk]

Bost gets a technical. He just pounded the ball one on the floor. Officials confused. They give Lazare the foul for getting tangled with davis on a rebound. Lazare fouls out. 82-62.

 

[Darkwebs]

24 point deficit. Dang

 

[riverman]

Stampede made a bucket!!! Clyde Strickland!!! Woot!!!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

Losing Pierre Jackson really hurt that team. Plus Howell left as well.

He's been the worst. I wouldn't say those guys lit it up, but they had better stats. They affected the game more. Babbitt and Johnson were just as bad in their first stays. Babbitt improved in his second stay. Armon never did. Armon was the worst, Crabbe second worst, and Patty Mills the best. 89-67 5 minutes left.

 

[jlprk]

Armon Johnson had no shooting or size, so Crabbe is way above him in upside. His problem is mental, not physical talent.
