The Nets only needed about three or four more late triples from Allen Crabbe to beat the Warriors tonight. In the last minute. That’s enough time, I think. But the possession after Crabbe made his final three, he didn’t even get to shoot it. Spencer Dinwiddie (whose good three-point percentage this season is surely nothing but a mirage rising from the blazing desert sands) did. There’s something that good NBA teams do called “riding the hot hand”, apparently the Nets have not heard of the concept.
I’m excited for 25 points by Crabbey Patty, anyway. No one else is, but I am. I alone recognize how sick of a shooter Crabbe is, how nice of a release he has (dat flick tho), and how he can come off screens with the best of them. If he was on the Warriors in place of Klay Thompson, I bet they wouldn’t even miss a beat. Yes, I know I’ve said the same about Joe Harris. And like a million other players. Sorry Klay, I just consider you totally replacable.
