If we lose against the bucks we will never hear the end of it.

Rightfully so my friend. Rightfully so. It's the Milwaukee Bucks were talking about and we're desperate for a win.

Expected us to be 0-3 at this point tbh... It's not easy travelling from Denver to Minnesota in one night

Why the hate on Jennings?

Truth isn't spelled hate.

Jennings & Smith made sure we didn't win in the 4th with ridiculous shot after ridiculous shot.

Jennings was no more a reason for this loss than KCP and less so than Singler and Smith. Stop trying to pin this on these two. Smith isn't getting benched, which suggests that he's doing what Stan wants. At this point, if you're throwing anyone under the bus, it should be the coach, because he's allowing what you see as problems to perpetuate. So either you're wrong, and they're not problems, or its SVG who is at fault.

I don't like Jennings much, but I can't find much fault in his last game. As far as Smith not being benched, I'm pretty sure Drummond being in foul trouble had something to do with that.

I don't understand what the point of benching Dre when he gets in foul trouble. Let the guy foul out, at least you know you maximized the amount of minutes he played. And he's not exactly a great late game free throw shooter anyways.

Smith isn't getting benched because you can't just bench a guy making 54 million dollars A, & B, we have had zero depth behind him in game 1 & 2.

& there is no "I am wrong" this isn't me seeing this Smith thing. Literally 90% of national media, local Det media, bloggers, beat writers, heck even real gm posters all see this.

Based on Stan's resume he obviously sees it as well but is progressing cautiously. That however doesn't change the facts Sir.

The Bucks have more wins than Detroit. We're one of three teams who have yet to win a game this season, the other two being the 76ers and Lakers.

I definitly see them as a sleeper team,they could be scary good if it all clicks for them in a few yrs.When I say we wont hear the end,its because of the whole jennings/knight,middleton trade.

despite still being raw on the defensive end he still has (by far) the biggest impact defensively, you kind of want that out there in the fourth quarter.

Only people in the world ready to give up on a season in less than a week.

I really don't get this, didn't most of the forum believe like 35-41 wins where Detroit would be... maybe a sleeper playoff team if everything came together fast? Then when we lose some games and people are pissed :lol:

. At least the team has been competitive until the very end in all the games.. last year we imploded in the 3rd and the early 4th instead of just the late 4th.

Plus, it kind of makes sense that we would lose games late in the 4th when we need to rely on someone for consistent offense ... we don't have a guy capable of doing that. :lol:

DTP · Post #476 » by **DTP** » Mon Nov 3, 2014 4:16 pm

Still sticking to my 40-44 win range. Just means the team needs to go 44-35 to finish the year!

I agree with you to that end. I guess I didn't really consider it when I read your comment.

A good portion of the forum thought this was a guaranteed playoff team, heading towards 40-50+ wins.....

Those same people are the ones acting like the world is exploding 3 games in. They set the bar too high. And now they're playing the blame game, blaming everyone except themselves.

can I just exonerate myself and say that I am not one of those people? I predicted 45 wins and am still confident they will win 45 games (or close to it).
