Jennings didn't even shoot them out of the game. He played a solid and better game than I actually thought he would (26 points on 50% shooting, 5 assist, & zero turnovers). Kemba just outplayed him. I see you take your wits & run all neely wheely with it without any ground to support it
Kemba definitely out played him but I recall several ill-fated step back jumpers by Jennings that would have gotten an F in basketball 101 class. The fact that Jennings dominated the ball and didn't dump it into the bigs, Detroit's big advantage that was kicking our ass all game was indicative enough of shooting them out of the game, even if he did get lucky and hit a decent percentage. I remember one corner three he made off a fadeaway extremely early in the clock, if he hadn't of hit that, any decent coach would have yanked him. That dude has the basketball IQ of Corky from Life Goes On.
There isn't a player in their core that has a high basketball IQ. It is what it is with them. Without Jennings, they would be a bottom feeder. Outside of the monstrous advanced stats of Drummond, Jennings has been their best player this season, and the biggest reason why they've been able to beat teams like Miami & Indiana if you ask me
I know, that's why I said it's either feast or famine with him. When he's on, they're damn near unbeatable, he used to beat us practically by himself when he was a Buck. But when the game is competitive, massive trainwreck potential with him is just around the corner. If he had a coach that could reign him in like Popovich or even Doc Rivers he'd be hella good but Mo Cheeks sucks.
