ATL - Oladipo is Really Good (and Bledsoe dominant again)

I watched the 4th quarter of that game last night, he did have a nice stretch but it wasn't a nice decision making stretch, just the same old Jennings getting hot for a little bit off low percentage shots, mixed in with a couple cherry picking buckets where Portland just fell asleep on him for uncontested layups.

He made a layup!? Guess he did work on his game this offseason.

He missed one on the next possession that would have put them within 2 with like 15 seconds to go. It rolled around the rim first though, which is an improvement.

Yeah there were some key misses by him down the stretch. Also before one of the makes the reason why he was all alone was because on the possession before he went to the rim, went down and got no call, stayed down for a while and never made it back on defense. I don't remember him making any contested layups, just a couple of the most open ones he'll ever see.

David Lee just had an amazing tip in. Crazy half from the Warriors.

One hot stretch in the 4th quarter last night and his head exploded. Quite the turn of events, eh.

But not unforeseen

Bucks made the right call letting him go. I'm watching him stink it up against the Warriors right now. Man is he a team-killer.

Did you see Jennings run into a Bogut brick wall that led to a GS fast break ? Was pretty funny seeing Jennings lying on the floor wondering wtf just happened.

After 7 games the Pellys are releasing Lance Thomas and Arinze Onuaku. They are being replaced with Josh Childress and Lou Amundson

NOPE. Haven't heard/seen that.

Jennings is getting eaten alive by Curry, and most of the damage is in the paint. Somehow it appears he's regressed on both ends.

It's strange, I'm a guy that still kind of likes Brandon but he's playing like a guy who's been told "our identity will be that we're young and developing, so it's okay to make lots of mistakes" and has really taken that to heart.

"You could say, we're going to bring lob city to Detroit this year," the 23-year-old guard, known for a certain amount of swagger, said at his introductory press conference Tuesday at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"It's my first year actually playing with a frontcourt like this, with (Andre) Drummond, Greg Monroe and Josh (Smith)," Jennings said. "We have the two top big men in the league, two young guys that have a lot of potential. They're going to take my game to the next level and I'll help take their game to the next level."

“The things that I was doing in Milwaukee, I won't have to do here, take all the bad shots,” Jennings said. “Now, I can just actually be myself and be who I was five years ago when I was in high school, playing AAU basketball.”

Detroit Lob City. Winning is all about throwing up bricks and offensive rebounding.

I swear, you could throw any old guy from a rec league in with this Pistons team and the only way he'd stand out is he'd be the guys with his hands in the air saying "guys, maybe wanna settle down and get some structure?".

Imagine a prime Joe Dumars playing SG for that team. You'd think he'd want to murder all of them if he were on the court 35+ minutes a night. Then you realize he is the person that put the team together.
