Omri Casspi is currently suffering from what I like to call “Post-snub Depression”. He was not selected to perform in the three-point contest, even after Chris Bosh clotted up and had to drop out. It’s debatable whether or not his non-inclusion was a snub or not, but it doesn’t matter what we think. What matters is what HE thinks, and there’s no doubt that he thought he was snubbed. Snubby snubbed.
The “Post-snub Depression” is manifesting itself as inconsistent performances and not-as-good shooting numbers. He was, before all this happened, one of the very best three-point bombers in the league; he’s still over 40 percent, which is still good, but he’s been bricking a lot lately, shooting 28 percent since the snub (not including this game because I have a narrative that I don’t want ruined by his 4-of-4 tonight).
Also the Kings aren’t going to make the playoffs again so that probably doesn’t help his mood either.
