206 Tracker: Crawford, Thompson and Green lead the way as the rest of the 206 sputters

Jamal Crawford, Klay Thompson, and Jeff Green played well last night as the rest of the members of the 206 Tracker struggled.

There were 10 NBA games last night, and even though eleven players saw the floor, no one had a particularly remarkable performance (Everyone outside of the three aforementioned players combined to shoot just 36%). However, Jamal Crawford, Klay Thompson and Jeff Green did have decent outings.

Crawford gets yet another shout out on the 206 Tracker, even if tonight was not his best performance. He gets a shout out tonight mainly, because he shot the ball well on a night when most guys from the 206 were busy building houses with their bricks. Crawford scored 18 points on 7-12 from the field, and also added two threes, but he did struggle with turnovers, coughing the ball up four times. His performance helped the Clippers edge Rodney Stuckey and the Pacers 102-96.

Thompson also played okay, scoring 21 points and helping the Warriors improve their league-best record to 19-2, extending their win streak to 14 games. Uncharacteristically, Thompson knocked down only one of his eight three-point attempts last night. Like Crawford, Thompson also struggled with turnovers, giving the ball to the Rockets four times.

One noticeable addition that the Warriors have made to their lineups: Klay with all bench guys. I really enjoy watching Thompson play along the second units, it allows him to be the clear first option on offense to which Golden State runs the offense through him much more than when he shares the floor with Stephen Curry.

Like his aforementioned counterparts, Jeff Green had a decent night as well Wednesday, but by no means did he set the world on fire. Green scored 16 points on 50% from the field, and also snagged four rebound, but the Boston Celtics fell to the Charlotte Hornets 96-87.

Green's struggle from the three-point line continued Wednesday, as he was unable to connect on any of his three point attempts. His three point percentage dropped to 30.3% on the year. Extrapolated over the entire season, Green's 30.3% three point percentage would tie for the second lowest of his career (Green's lowest three point percentage came when he played for the Sonics, when he shot a miserable 27.6%). For his career, Green shoots a pedestrian 34% from behind the stripe.

It might be time to accept a guy for who he is, and I think at this point it is time, it's safe to say that Jeff Green will never be a serious threat from behind the three point line.

It was a a far tougher night for the rest of the players on this list, as no one outside of Green, Crawford, and Thompson managed to score more than 10 points.
