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


Tickets are like $30 directly from the team. I sat on the court tonight AAA for $72.



What? Just buy 10 dollar tickets at the arena. The worst seat in the place is equivalent to half way up on the 200 sections. Remember, it’s basically high school gym size

Adding players to the team affects more than what happens on the court. There is a risk that he could be a negative in the locker room.

Maybe he comes back humbled like Beasley and could be a positive on the bench/locker room. If that's the case then he's worth a shot.

I have never paid more than $15 for a Herd ticket.

Jennings did some things and he may be more of a need than Kilpatrick or Terry. He’s never been a high turnover guy so that is probably more of an aberration. The defensive effort was minimal but that appeared to be a team wide affliction.

If he accepted that 10-15 minute role and played within himself it could work....of course that is a huge question mark.

One fun thing about watching that is that he is very actively trying to get guys involved, there wasn't a whole lot of that when he was here. Always felt like he could have been a pretty gifted passer but chose not to be in pursuit of personal accolades.

Having our new version of Beasley on a two year deal (Ungtd year 2) AND finding some room for Plumlee might help us come playoff time.

Yeah he was making an effort to find teammates. There were some good passes that guys weren't expecting and fumbled or just straight up missed that didn't turn into assists, he could have easily had a few more.

A guy on a 10 day or a 2 way contract fighting for a roster spot isn't going to be much of a problem in the locker room. Just a gut feeling.

Yea just release Kirkpatrick and sign Jennings for the rest of the season, there really isn’t a downside. Munford can still come up for games.

If Jennings accepts his role he's better than Delly for sure. Bledsoe/Brogdon/Jennings is a really nice point guard rotation assuming Baddy's head is right and he's used properly.

I have no idea if he's a good fit now, but he would be a bench guy as opposed to one of the "stars" of the team. Apples and oranges...

Not really. He's a moron on the court. I'm going to assume that hasn't changed.

"Showtime" Plumlee is still the best player on the Herd.

That Plumlee reverse dunk :o

I'd love to see Jennings drop passes like that to Thon, just for comedy value.

I watched the game last night and I found myself yelling many of the same things I used to yell. I agree that he has matured as a player and looks for team mates better than he used to but he still makes too many poor decisions, shoots the ball early in the clock and too quickly, and he certainly has yet to understand or want to play defense. Now, I don't want to judge too quickly, as he was new to the team, and all, so let's see how he does. If last night was what he is, then pass......

Jennings is primary manifestation of a team trying to "assign" leadership (along with Sanders), and an awesome cautionary tales about what a toxic culture can spoil with regards to talented players.

I've often wondered if you drafted Jennings and put him on a Giannis led team, what he could have become, where you don't have Steven Jackson's of the world enabling idiocy and delusions of grandeur.

If he has humbled a bit, which it appears he has, I have no problem bringing him in as a 3rd string PG that when he gets hot can carry the bench on certain nights ala Beasley. Just make sure we get a TO like Zeller has to keep some upside for us.
