Lob City!!!

“I definitely have to change my game for this team,” Jennings said. “We have a bunch of great players.

“The things I was doing in Milwaukee, I won’t have to do here – take all those bad shots – because we have so many pieces.


You tell it like it is BJ, prove them wrong!

I have no doubt it will happen on occasion as most players in the league as floor generals end up doing so from time to time. I just hope it is cut down drastically playing on a very good team with Billups and Cheeks as mentors.

Encouraging to hear him recognize it, at the very least. Now if he can actually change some of his on-court habits then we're onto something.

What veteran presence has Jennings had in his ear during his time in Mil? Not only do we now have some strong leaders in the locker room but we have more talent to surround Jennings than he has ever had. Do I think Jennings can be an all star here? Definitely. His strengths are huge for this team!

Actually not really when you are going to a new team. Its easy to play that way when you've been handed the keys and told its your franchise from day one, but when you are going to a new team with established franchise players already there, its hard to just come in and act like you own the team. My guess is he will fit into a role and everyone will share the ball equally like the 2004 team. With Chauncey and Rasheed here, I think we will have a great locker room/family environment and that usually carries over to the court resulting in unselfish basketball.

Finally someone with logic (not talking about the all star part lol)

The only vet presence he ever had was Scott Skiles and let's be honest, he's never won anything in the NBA player or coach.

I'm not saying automatically that having Sheed and Billups changes the culture. It will take time and Stuckey to go to do so.
