I remember during LB you once responded to one of my posts about how LB was doing terrible that "LB was a hall of famer, who the hell are you?" etc.

Then a month later you were climbing all over LB's ass. I showed you the aforementioned post and you were all hemming and hawing.

I expect a repeat of that chain of incidents in the not too distant future.

oohah


The difference is, I will defend someone when they are right and get on them when they are wrong. I love larry brown, now I don't know when I was climbing all over him, but I still like him to this day. Is he perfect? no, but unlike you, I don't make rush judgments 10 games into a season..

Plus what the hell does LB have to do with this? again, stay on track...

Ok, then sit back, stop whining and lets see where hill ends up.... until then, you are wrong... Unless you are telling me for sure, he won't be come really gooddamn good... and if you can tell me that, I would also like the powerball numbers as well....


See, in America we are allowed to state our predictions. Comparing my prediction that Hill won't be really Goddamn good and that Jennings was the perfect pick simply based on our need for a PG to Powerball is one of your more amusing reaches yet!

I have to thank you for easing the pain in my gut of knowing that Jennings put on a another superstar perfomrance this evening nearly willing the short-handed fukcing Bucks past the Mavericks.

oohah


state a precition.. but stop acting as if you are stating facts....

And yea, jennings shot 8-22 and his silly shot taking late in the game is one of the reasons why the bucks didn't win a game dallas was trying to give away.......

nice try.. play again..

I did state a prediction...and you told me it was too early to predict. Can you even remember what you wrote 20 minutes ago? Jeez.

Yup, that Jennings sure did blow that game that he almost won with his near triple-double while playing on a team of Bogut + nobody!

Whew! Are we in the Twilight Zone or what? NeeNee-NooNoo NeeNee-NooNoo!

then make your prediction and move on.. stop trying to state is as fact.. that is what you are trying to do and you got called on it.. now you are trying to divert the argument.. It is like saying, I predict the colts will win the superbowl, so give them the trophy and forget the remaining 7 games because I am not wrong... LOL.. it doesn't work that way. You can't predict something, and say you are not wrong for a fact before the act happens.... Just because you don't like a player... talk about twilight zone......

And whatever, I am not defending the bucks, if your argument is that he has bogut and nobody then carry on... obviously you don't watch the games... illyasova and ridnour were the reasons that the game went into OT and not continued to be a blowout.... jennings and his 8-22 shooting wasn't getting the job done..

again.. you fail...

goodbye...

TKF, you are possibly the most comparison-challenged dude I have ever had the pleasure of pwning! You football comaparison does not mirror the situation at hand of the Knicks picking a dude who cannot even grab minutes on a terrible team instead of picking a PG, something they knew they needed. My acknowledging your "argument", and I use that term loosely, was more recognition than it ever deserved.

You're saying that Ilyasova and Ridnour were the guys who carried the Bucks and not Jennings, the guys who almost put up a triple-double, because he missed some shots down the stretch? You better tell Skiles that he is making the wrong player his go to guy! It should be Ridnour or Ilyasova! Damn, better yet Jordan Hill! I'll just bet Milwwaukee is wishing they had Jordan Hill out there to anchor them!

Your argument isn't good enough to be a fail...it was a dud in the first place. It isn't even twilight bright.

Again, you have been straight PWNED.

Jennings may be a solid PG. His career has nothing to do with Hill's.

It would seem that for some folks, no matter what Hill does, his career will be discounted because of the coexistence of Jennings in his draft.

I would hazard a guess and predict that the guys who speak up the most for Jennings are also going to be the ones who get on Hill's case the most, even if he shows solid growth as a player over the rest of the season.

Walsh whiffed on the pick because we needed a pg and Jennings was available. It is still too soon to evaluate Hill. Amare averaged more points but he also played more minutes. If you gave Hill 28 minutes a game, I could see him having a few 20 pts games and maybe even a 30 pt game if his jumper was falling. The kid can play. The only real question with him is whether his BBIQ develops to where he understands where he needs to be on the floor on offense and defense. He still looks lost out there at times, but even looking lost he managed to shoot and play better defense than Lee. Is he going to be the next Amare, I agree that is unlikely to happen. But the kid can be a quality PF if he develops. I think an young Antonio Mcdyess(?) would be his ceiling. His floor would be Chris Wilcox.

all I am saying is there are reasons which are pretty clear and obvious why Jennings fell to ten. If you go on snap judgements in the season he's a top 3 pick. You look at your data and make a decision. Everyone in this draft thought Jennings was a project and nowhere near NBA ready. 10th is around the place where those types of guys go, sometimes later. Gerald Green was rated #1 in the county and bombed. Eddy Curry, Donell Harvey, Zach Randolph were also #1 rated players. Of course so was Amare, Lebron, Dwight Howard and OJ Mayo.

At the end of the day you look at the tape, you have a guy in for workouts and do your research.

lol.. this is going to be tough to read:

Knicks president Donnie Walsh made a damning statement Friday, saying he didn't "have a good enough feel" for Jennings' game. Jennings leapt from high school to Italy last season.

"I thought I showed them enough in the workout on one-on-one drills, beating everyone else up and down the court, playing defense," Jennings said. "I thought me and D'Antoni would have a good relationship, speak a little Italian together and go to Italian restaurants. I seen what he did for Steve Nash."

D'Antoni said it's too early to brand the Hill pick a mistake, though a source said the Knicks' scouts were higher on Hill than was the coaching staff. D'Antoni hopes his last two stints will get Hill going.

"I felt happy for him because he hasn't had much of a chance," D'Antoni said of Hill's Friday cameo.

"We liked Jordan Hill, we knew [Brandon] was good," the coach said. "He had a good workout. We liked him. The consensus was Jordan Hill is a better talent. We also took Jordan at a spot we had a lot of guys. We just thought he was the best talent at that time. It's too early to make an assessment either way. Brandon has played well."

Listen--the bottom line is we fcked up. I have a very strong feeling that they DID NOT do the required due diligence just from Donnie's comments. He wasnt even a consideration and either was Lawson when we really needed a PG. I have to think that atleast one Knick scout had to like Jennings but from everything I have read Mike D is the final word or darn close to it on these calls. what is the lesson from this--dont put a requirement that your PG has to be 6-3 and shoot 68% from 3 and have an open mind.

The kid is lighting up the league. How ****ing stupid do you have to be to defend Walsh. He screwed the franchise by passing on this kid period. They beat us already he carried them past Golden State and they lost in OT to Dallas. We get blown out of the ****ing building by everyone.

25.5pts 5.5ass 4.8rbs 1.1stls 48%

Last night 25pts 8ass 7rbs and he was off.

There are game changers and there are stat players and this kid is a game changer. You are trusting a guy that drafted Gallo/Hill two players that basically play the four. Walsh has dropped the ball on basically everything that matters thus far. Clearly Zach and Jamal could be moved because they were traded again. Darko, Duhon, Roberson (Wafer was on the same summer league team and looked better and we needed a 2) all **** the bed.

You don't pass on a young center with touch that can block shots and you don't pass on a young point guard that can get to the paint at will. Jennings doesn't have Michael Redd or someone that is really spreading the floor just wait and see till that happens.

So going into this offseason we don't have a point guard, shooting guard, small foward or center. We have two power fowards and a Chandler and Douglas two guys that are nice off the bench.

I would like a little more of a blue print. I always thought you get your center and your point guard and you fill in from there. But maybe Walsh has a different method that we haven't seen yet.

thing was they really liked Jennings. I dont get it myself. My (poorly) educated guess is this: They were wowed by Stephen Curry. Once he was off the board they took the guy they liked the most and that was Hill. Also remember they were very impressed w/ Hill's workout and said he showed skills they didnt know he had. The other part is they felt pretty good about drafting Toney Douglas. So much so they spent $3mm to draft him. That was a solid move on their part as he is clearly a solid rotation guy in this league, and has the maturity (4 years of CBB) to contribute right away.

So the bottom line is they loved Douglas and thought he could help right away that probably swayed them away from taking a shot at a guy like Jennings who had great talent but was regarded as a project

It was the wrong move (so far) and typical of this franchise which simply appears to be snakebit

MILWAUKEE -- Is it possible that Milwaukee Bucks fans can feel even better about Brandon Jennings after a loss Monday night than they could after his 55-point effort on Saturday?

It is.

Absent was the guy challenging NBA-TV's Eric Snow to a one-on-one match over the summer. Gone was the brash kid who said he was better than Ricky Rubio. In the locker room after the Bucks' heartbreaking overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks was a point guard who shouldered all the responsibility for his team's defeat. Those maturity and character questions Jennings faced throughout the draft process? We can put those to rest. Jennings was despondent that he couldn't pull out a win for his teammates who worked so hard to help bring the Bucks back from an 18-point third-quarter deficit.

I'm not sure too many rookies can score 25 points, grab seven rebounds and dish out eight assists and be so eager to take the blame for not making the right decision on their team's last possession.

"Ersan's [Ilyasova] man had doubled me. When I looked back over the tape he was wide open for the jump shot. This is something I'm going to learn from. It's a long season," Jennings said.

Jennings wanted it to be known that this one was on him.

"At one point we were down 20 and we could have just thrown in the towel. I was 100 percent sure we were going to win in overtime. I'm kind of taking this one to the heart. You know, I feel like this one's my fault we didn't win that game."

So the Bucks may have lost this one, but judging from Brandon Jennings' postgame demeanor, don't expect him to allow losing to become a habit.


But hey we are having team meeting and getting ****ing blown out every game. Nice scouting Donnie.

Branden jennings just put up 25 in the 3rd Q against GS
