Gotta know the situation. Going for the steal was out of frustration for the missed FTs. Steal was not needed, running clock was needed and he failed at that. Can't blame him for missing two FTs, they are never automatic. But the problem was, we needed the clock to run and he missed 2 FTs with clock stopped, advantage SB. He then stopped the clock and allowed SB two offensive points with said stopped clock, advantage SB. That's a 4 point swing with hardly any clock movement.
This team walks a fine line between winning and losing games and Crutcher better learn(and I assume he got an earful and will) that you don't take your personal frustration out at the team's expense, like Kostas hopefully did against
Duquesne.
