Brandon Jennings was two points shy of an NBA record for a playoff debut. Jennings scored 34 points on 14-of-25 shooting using his quickness to get to the basket and to create room for his jump shots, including shooting 4-of-6 from behind the 3-point line. Despite the good shooting and second half comeback, the Atlanta Hawks were too much in the opening game of their series against the Bogut-less Milwaukee Bucks and now lead the series 1-0. Game 2 will be in Atlanta on Tuesday followed by Games 3 and 4 in Milwaukee on Saturday and Monday. If you don’t have your basketball tickets for the game, Tuesday’s game will be on NBATV (7:00 est) and Saturday’s game will be on ESPN (7:00 est).
Asked how the Playoffs compare to the regular season, Jennings said:
“The intensity is a little higher, but I can’t tell, because I’m playing above my head this whole series. There’s no pressure on us. All we have to do is play basketball.”
Here’s hoping for a few more good games from Brandon in the Playoffs.
If the Bucks are healthy come playoff time, they will beat any team in the East. Miami and the big three is all hype. Why do todays so called great players have to be surrounded with the hall of fame in order to win. (Lebron, Kobe and Wade) Te Bucks are a deeper and better team. We have the best player in all of basketball in Brandon Jennings. BJ will be to the point guard position what Michael Jordan was to the shooting guard position. They might as welll put a deer head on the Larry Obrian trophy and send to Milwaukee then tell Brandon to send it back when he get tired of looking at it. The Bucks will be the 2010- 2011 NBA champions.
