    I've done some research and here's my take on the game:

    After Friday night's loss to the Reno Bighorns, the Idaho Stampede's playoff hope is quickly diminishing.

    The Bakersfield Jam also lost on Friday, so the Jam are now officially and mathematically eliminated from the playoff race, which leaves the Stampede as the only remaining team who's not currently in the top 8 to have a chance at making the playoffs.

    There's only 4 games left to play in the regular season and the Stampede better win out to have a shot at the playoffs. But they only have one home game left and this is it. The 3 games afterwards will be on the road and 2 of those 3 will be against the 3rd and 4th best teams in the league.

    This is a MUST WIN or the season's over basically.

    I'm guessing this will be Crabbe's last game? We'll see.

    I think they've lost every game which had the Crabbe distraction. They were eking their way into the playoffs, but now they've eked out.

    With millions in our audience, surely one or two slouches missed the last game and these links, so I'll repeat them. Another reason to repeat them is that the Crabbe links are updated with the last game added.

    I will have to put a maximum on this thread to maintain order. No more than 500 posters will be allowed in. First come, first served. No fights over who gets to post.

    With all these recent losses (won 2 and lost 3 with Crabbe) we are down to .500 (23-23). Vander Blue and C.J. Leslie, who were in the last game, are out tonight. Hearns and Ellis will start for them. Lauderdale is still out. For the Littlehorns, Sundiata Gains is back after missing last gain. Walker Russell is his sub.

    Murphy, the league's leading scorer, is gone. We lose 26 points. I noticed he drove to the basket dynamically. After the defense stopped him last night, he was psyched up. 2 techs for talking to the ref too long.

    It was 1 1/2 minutes. 9:40 left right now. Refs clamp down so there's a call in Crabbe's favor. He shoots 1-2 FTs. Crabbe makes a shot, then assists Machado, then rebounds. A lot of stats open for him in Murphy's absence.

    On a fast break Machado assists a Crabbe dunk, who then gets a rebound. 12-6 we're up so Crabbe looks good.

    Crabbe misses from the left corner on a catch and shoot. Reno is still bigger than us. We didn't grow since yesterday. Machado is still holding his poked eye. 14-11 us.

    I expect the other 498 posters are fighting for position and it's bogging down the boards so it'll be awhile before their posts show up here

    The blonde ref has long pigtais. Even Machado has his eyes open. She's got muscles.

    Crabby is not shooting too well. He's obviously playing down to their level.

    Did I make it in time or will this get kicked for exceeding the maximum posters?
