kind of disappointing about bolomboy. last season his advanced stats were great, thought he was one of the best 2 way pick ups in the league. now he seems like he's almost regressing with the herd over time. plumlee definitely looks better at this point, especially as a prospective NBA player. can understand why they essentially swapped those two on the 2-way

Jennings smells familiar, nice to see him back though.

Jennings feels like a guy that is extremely streaky shooter but his BBIQ is low as hell.

I remember all of the road games used to be on UPN 24 and when I moved back north after college it was the reason I had to get league pass for a few seasons. Eventually everything went to FSN.

I remember being so pissed we ended up with Wolters over him, he ended up being nothing in Dallas though,

Doesn't offer much on D either. I'm still not sure he is willing to accept a 15-20 minute role off the bench either.

Can’t wait until Jennings comes back in the 4th with the herd down. Hero ball at its finest

That was probably better than all but one Giannis dunk this season, too. Nuts.

He was very capable on D as a rookie surprisingly.

Surprised Wilson isn’t tearing it up.

What’s the ticket situation for these games? Should I buy ahead or do they scalp them for a few bucks outside the door?

Maybe it's hard to do, but other than being on a basketball court, it's hard for me to see how this is a developmental league

^once again, the basketball was much better before the team was gutted/changed. it's like night and day. it's hard to play aesthetically pleasing basketball when things change so drastically, so quickly.

the main point is getting game minutes and learning the system of your parent team (which is also in flux because of the kidd firing)

I think they made the right step with the two way players but they need to expand it. Give 3 permanent year long 2-way contracts where the player is restricted after the year to give teams more reason to develop guys. You need some consistency and long term incentive to put money into the teams.

How does Jennings look athletically? Does he look like he's gotten it all back from the Achilles?

I don't know if anyone else noticed or cares, but Jennings leg seems to kick out on every jumper

Whoever runs the Herd gameday ops should take over for the Bucks.
