LOL Laker fans supporting their Cali boys. Jennings still sucks. This won't last long.

[embersyc]

Not to mention that game sealing steal. Jennings is streaky no doubt, but now when he is having an off night Augustin takes his place.

[Eric Cartman]

Coach Nick said this was unsustainable

KG SAID EVERY THING IS POSSIBLE

So I'm on the fence here but even with Jennings playing at an average level this team is solid

[Richesly]

Question, I'm curious if the Hawks defense is really this good, but did the Pistons just constantly chuck up 3s or long twos with zero ball movement, no plays being ran, and no utilization of their big man whatsoever on the offensive end?

[KempSonics]

Was just going to start a Brandon Jennings appreciating thread! :rockon:

[atljonesbro]

Jennings help pad the Hawks lead in the East. Nice. Hawks asserting themselves as the far and away favorites in the East.

I don't think he missed a single floater going into the paint either, Raps had no answer for him tonight.

Funny I too was going to slobber all over jennings b/c of his one night stand performance tonight, heres hoping he doesn't regress to the inefficient iso chucker he is.:roll: :roll:

[Richesly]

Your hating posts are hilarious, keep it going bruh:roll:

I was actually not hating, I was stating 100% fact. Do you not agree about what I was stating? I watched the whole game, and anyone else who is objective would agree with me. KCP chucked up every shot he took.

This is true. He shot shot 16 3's. The Hawks defense is too good for the East. They are heavy favorites right now.

[Richesly]

Jeff Teague has been playing better over the last 6 games and there are no threads saying hes been killing it.

BJ: 21.5/6 over last 6 games.
JT: 24.8/8 over last 6 games.

So, even when BJ is peaking, he is still not playing as good as Jeffy Jeff.

[embersyc]

WTF man, shut up about the goddamned Hawks.

Jenning had a good game and that's why there is a thread. If you believe that Teague had a better 6 game streach, then go make a thread about it buddy. Stop thread crapping and hating. Screw the Hawks, GO PISTONS!

[Richesly]

I respect teams, like the bucks, that actually play real ball, know how to space the floor, and follow what the coach says.

Not a team full of hot chuckers. It's alright though, they'll come back to earth.

Jenning was struggling hard pre-J Smith trade, now he has been playing extremely well. Just tryna appreciate Jenning's effort, now GTFO hater

I'm not hating though. I'm impressed by the Piston's streak.

Hating would be saying Pistons are a garbage team and having no facts to back it up.

[Droid101]

God it's so hard being a legit die-hard Hawks fan with these other retarded Hawk fans overblowing every single damn thing.

[Rake2204]

God it's so hard being a legit die-hard Hawks fan with these other retarded Hawk fans overblowing every single damn thing.Nice. Glad to know you're a Hawks fan. I admit some other Hawks fans have been a touch overbearing of late, so it's good to have a balance.

Regarding Jennings - the real test of this Pistons team may be to see what happens when he goes through another super slump because... it's coming.

What exactly am I overblowing...? Brandon has been playing great, but I think killing it is an overstatement and something to say in the heat of the moment. Kemba Walker, for example, has been killing it. BJ has just been playing better than what his standard is held to, hence playing great.

You're full on retarded. This is a thread about Jennings' good play lately. And THIS is what you chose to respond with:

Super irrelevant much? Go make your own stupid thread.

It wasn't irrelevant. I did not watch the game and I would like to know how Pistons pulled off the win. I am not going to base a game off the box score like others do.

[KempSonics]

You're acting like their offensive performance on Friday is the way they always play. It was a bit of a weird offensive performance with all the 3's but they dug themselves a hole and got a bit carried away with the 3's.

[Rooster]

I have not seen any Piston game. So is he finally putting it together or he still the same Jennings?

[Detroit]

They won the game by outscoring their opponent.

That is all I needed to know. The bashing I was getting for that simple question was uncalled for.

Sorry for the bashing, I just realized that the thread title was LOOKING for the haters. My apologies. Let the hate continue...

[Rake2204]

But otherwise, I think it's just in his nature to be who he is - a guy who can take wild shots and go on unbelievable streaks when hot, but can then bottom out just as quickly. He's spectacular when he's on, but the degree of difficulty on all his shots inherently leads to a career of streaks.

Remind me of Van Exel then. He can kill any team when he's on but he can kill his own team when he's not. I think it's good to have one wild card like that off that bench but not one to carry a team.

I feel like Van Exel had a little better shot selection but that also might be nostalgia. Both lefties too.

[chocolatethunder]

Van Exel didn't always have the greatest shot selection but it was better than Jennings. Van Exel was also a second round pick so he was thought of as an overachiever not an underachiever like Jennings.

Toronto has no defense.

[sfballa13]

Jennings is killing it and Lakers supposedly want him

Jennings, Monroe, Augustin, Martin, Datome

for

Lin, Hill, Davis, Price

Lakers pair Jennings with Swaggy P, Monroe with Randle by getting him a year early and convincing him to stay, and they get some cheap bench players

Pistons shoot for the playoffs with Hill/Davis replacing Monroe and hopefully SVG can milk Lin at least to a 7th - 8th seed in the weak east

No, that was pretty much unique to the Hawks game. The Hawks defense took Detroit out of what they wanted to do, so they just jacked 3's in a panic for most of the game.

[BigTicket]

Since Josh Smith was traded Jennings is averaging 20/7 on 47% FG, not bad at all :applause:

Should take Kyrie's ASG spot imo.

[Richesly]

Should take Kyrie's ASG spot imo.
So he should get in the ASG over Teague?

[sammichoffate]

So he should get in the ASG over Teague?Teague isn't making it over Lowry, Wall, Kyrie, or even Rose even if I think he deserves to be in the conversation.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

He'll come back down to Earth soon. He's playing the same way he always has (terrible shot selection/no right hand). Been a nice streak for him though

[Jailblazers7]

To be fair, his advanced metrics are his best ever so far this season. Best TS%, AST%, WS/48, PER etc. So it might be a little more than just a hot streak.

I'd be interested to watch a Pistons game now to see if the offense looks visibly better. It could legitimately be that Smith was such a ball-stopping, floor-space-killing, crocodile-wrestling, shark-diving, volcano-luging, bear-fighting, snake-wrangling, motocross-racing cancer that Jennings is able to play at a higher level.

I still believe in the boring answer though - that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Using last night as an example, Jennings canned a number of big shots off of shake-and-bake crossing a defender into a step-back fallaway. They look very impressive when they go in, but I do not believe those shots breed consistent play.

But yeah, in terms of taking care of the rock this year, he's actually done a nice job. And it's nice to see him back-cutting and converting on give-and-go plays, which he's good for a few times a game. With some of his shots, he gives the idea of just being a guy who's cool with chilling on the wing and operating with the ball in his hands, but he's done some good things elsewise.

[HurricaneKid]

Should take Kyrie's ASG spot imo.

Oh. My. God.

Career low PPG, shooting .405 on a team way outside the playoffs and looking in, should be in the playoffs because he played well for a week?

I'll say this, if SVG can keep him playing at this level he is an all time head coach. Jennings has been the worst RAPM player in the NBA the last two years and has actually been quite useful this year. But he has had nice stretches in the past. He always goes back to being Brandon.

[HurricaneKid]

To be fair, his advanced metrics are his best ever so far this season.

To be fair he was, by FAR, the worst player in the league the last two years in RAPM. So saying he has improved, well it doesn't mean much.

[Smoke117]

See...he pretty much went back to his garbage shooting. (39% in last 5 games) Every player goes through streaks...but jennings will finish with his usual below 40% shooting and about 3/4ths of the 100 dumbest plays of the season.

He's always had the talent. Just needed the right situation, teammates, and coach.

[embersyc]

He totally controlled this game, every time he came in the Pistons went on a big run, every time he was out for a while the Magic cut it back close. He's fun to watch when he has it going like tonight.
