How much better would the Kings or Warriors be with a legitimate point guard who can score. Rather than scoring guards trying to adapt & learn on the fly. The hardest position in basektball let alone the N.B.A.
The league want’s to give R.O.Y. to Curry because Blake is hurt. The fans most of them want Tyreke Evans to get it. The players in the league I think most would agree that Jennings deserve it for leading his team to the playoffs. They usually say it’s not how you start but how you finish. Yet how you start determines the shaping of the finishing path. How he came out the gates & let people know from the gates the Bucks weren’t going to be a team of the past. Cannot & shouldn’t be overlooked. He made people take notice of the Bucks. They were legit w/o their supposed star. His #’s overall are still better than some veterans. His only bad #”s are percentages. Which you can factor in Injury,substitutions,coaching,confidence. His game still puts him in the driver seat of the Fear Deer movement. I’m on board let’s get em.

I hope Jennings goes off tonight and keeps giving it to Lebron.

Heard about it from the Plain Dealer’s beat writer, Brian Windhorst via his Twitter the day after that game.

I’ll point out here that Skiles technical in last night’s game was picked up after he berated the officials for not calling a foul on a Jennings fast break layup. It was very clear that Skiles was trying to defend his guy in this situation and that was his purpose in picking up the technical.

I’m not sure I see the same “everyone’s pointing out Jennings’ mishaps” that you guys are. I think he gets a pretty fair amount of credit, along with Bogut and Salmons, for the Bucks surge.

I’d say most teams get up for the better teams, and the Bucks are no different. They certainly have had their worst games against inferior opponents. The Pistons, Sixers, Clippers and Pacers come to mind. Fortunately, they usually take care of business against these teams anyway and beat those around them in the standings to boot.

I agree this time. I think Skiles has been pulling Jennings a little to much lately. Although I would vote Skiles COY and Hammond EOY. The biggest thing Jennings lacks is size, which Ridnour doesn’t have either. Jennings would get my ROY vote cuz I’m a fan, but the question ESPN posed was would the Bucks be in the same place with Stephen Curry? Tyreke Evans?

I think the Bucks can definitely take this one. Their energy and focus for tonight’s game will be at its maximum I’m sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jennings had a really big game. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew Bogut has a really big game against those match-ups with Big Z and Hickson. The Bucks may also want to consider putting LRMAM on Lebron and Ersan on Jamison.

Where did u hear about Lebron’s displeasure with Jennings? I’m curious….

Also remember had the 9 other teams not been some dumb & misguided by his stats overseas. He went against the grain & most had a negative perception from him. He drives a Ford Edge as 20 yr old millionaire. That should tell a lot about his upbringing & values.

What I think you guys namely Jeremy & company don’t factor in. Let’s say he was picked up by the Knicks or Grizzlies. What other guard or player could have lead you guys to where u stand. Going into to the draft who was the player of choice. It’s funny that everyone is made out to look like super player,coach,GM. While he gets the least accolades. Yet you critique his every mishap. I even heard Skiles highlight one of his weaknesses. Rather than speaking on a strength. I’m guessing you & Skiles R.O.Y. vote is for either Stephen Curry or Evans. Coach of the year has to be Skiles. Most Improved could be Bogut. Exec or GM of the year Hammond(Credit John Salmons for being a consumate pro & having the illy philly game). My opinions. Am i wrong again. LOL.

For the Bucks to win a playoff series & be taken serious. You want the team clicking on all cylinders. Jennings already proved he has a thing for dramatics. Let him play without having to worrying about being subbed for instictive moves. Being robotic is never a good thing. Balance the beginning of the year with games of maturity & Skiles type of PG. You’ll have a great player. You should find out & push to see his ceiling. He has talented a PG as the All Star guards in the league. If he plays well the Bucks are scary. He’s a double double guy with points & assists easily with the right added talent. Come on Deer. Let’s take down whoever we face in the 1st round. We could do it. Just dont panic & stick with the rook. You almost forget he’s a rookie with his poise. Just a reminder he’s better than Chalmers,Duhon,Rodriguez,T.J Ford,Felton,Farmar,M.Bibby, & 80 percent of the starting guards in this league.

Is it weird that I’ve sort of come to expect the Bucks to play BETTER against good teams? I dunno, I feel like Cleveland might coast on this game, but then again LeBron is just looking for another chance to do his little “I’m the best and I know it” dance with Jennings in the building.
