Some of you guys have to understand that Jennings came here with playoff expectations. Just like Q00 said, Jennings was playing great under Cheeks. The dude was averaging over 8apg! When we fired Cheeks and didn't quickly replace him that was like a slap in the face to Jennings and our entire squad. Loyer hasn't made any changes in our line-up for a reason, the guy isn't a good coach. It's terrible Jennings has acted-out lately but you can't blame him.
@Joseph Mamah: Moose, Dre, and KCP are young and have zero playoff expectations. They can say they want to go to the playoffs but nothing compares to actually going and getting experience. That's where young players get playoff expectations. To keep those three happy all we need to do is give them fair playing time and play them to there strengths.

You have to understand that Jennings has played no different all season than he has for his whole career. He shoots under 40% for his career and has the same crap defense and crap shot selection he always has. I remember Bucks fans on this site telling me he would act like pouting baby and go to crap after he realizes he won't get selected as a AllStar and they were spot on.

I don't agree with Jennings pouting and getting kicked out of games, but hopefully that improves with maturity. The age 24 is still young to certain individuals. Maybe Jennings really thinks he's a bad boy, lol.

Yeah, people like to rewrite history on both these guys, they are the same as they've always been in general. Some areas have been magnified but overall, same dudes.
The excuses for Jennings are comical, he quit, period.

This isn't true. His shooting and defense may have been the same, but you can't say he wasn't becoming a noticeably better point guard under Cheeks than he had been prior. You don't go from ranking in the middle of pack in assists most of your career to top 5 without improving as a point guard.
Also any pouting he has done was related to the coaching change, not because he didn't make the all-star team. In fact, he had maybe his best week of games of the season, after it was announced that he wasn't on the team. Which was that same week before they made the coaching change and they had those big wins over Brooklyn and Denver. I remember him doing an interview with NBAtv after the Denver game and he was happy as could be. Then the next day they dumped his coach and that's when his pouting started. So that's nonsense to suggest he's been acting that way because he didn't make the all-star team.
