[Highlight] Daniss Jenkins answers back with a clutch fadeaway over Austin Reaves to give the Pistons the lead (with replays). He also sinks the two clutch free throws. NEW CAREER-HIGH 30 points to Jenkins (previous was 26)
daniss jenkins is deadass more clutch than luka im actually crying ššš
Itās crazy he went undrafted and we had him just sitting around in the G league at the start of the season. Guy could be a starter for more than a couple teams right now.
kinda reminds me of collin gillespieās story
Love watching Gillespie, just not when he’s pulling from 30 on my favorite team.
What a deadeye shooter he is!
I love these stories man, seeing small guards like Fred vanfleet and Collin Gillespie make a name for themselves in the league, all while being undrafted too! Daniss is gonna be one hell of a player.
Dude balled tf out, fucking huge props to him
Adam Silver and DraftKings can kiss my ass. Waved Luka’s suspension just to get sonned by the legend of Daniss Jenkins. Fucking poetry.
Luke shooting nearly 30 percent is hilarious to me
MVP
Blaha always says his name like it rhymes with anus.
I thought it was pronounced like the name Dan with an iss at the end. Am I wrong?
Idk how to say but I’m not gonna be the one to tell Blaha he’s wrong. Man’s been calling every dunk a windmill since Grant Hill
Hill? Shit, since before Zeke was drafted.
Try Dave Bing.
Close, Dave Bing left the pistons in 1975, blahas first season was 1976
Since Dave Bing left. š
except for actual windmills, those are tomahawk jams.
blaha directly spoke with his mom on the pronunciation of his name
This is the correct answer. After they spoke with his mom they found out itās pronounced Day-nus. JB still gets it wrong though.
Sounds more like his mom spelled his name wrong on his birth certificate
Well itās a made up name, so maybe sheās right?
You would expect nothing but class from George.
Ya George is a stickler for pronunciation. He hits the European names so hard I always appreciate it
It was pronounced wrong initially. The correct pronunciation rhymes with anus. Itās pronounced like the beginning of danish.
Donāt remember if it was George or Greg, but earlier in the season during a telecast one of them brought up speaking to Danissā mother about the pronunciation. She confirmed itās Dane-iss, but was happy enough just having her son mentioned and didnāt have the heart to bring it up to anyone.
āDan-issā is how everyone pronounced it at the beginning of the season, but as he got more playing time he corrected everyone. Itās āDay-nussā
it’s pronounced “ay-chan”
I believe your correct but havenāt heard daniss say how it is pronounced
I just learned this minute that the NBA has a player pronunciation guide with audio clips of each player on every team saying their own names. It sounds to me like Blaha is saying it correctly.

Why is JBs voice Malik Beasley lmao
Itās pronounced like Blaha says it. Dane-iss
I reserve Danus for when he plays bad, and Daniss on games like tn
dāanus*

Daniss āclutch timeā Jenkins
God I love our depth, got guys all over putting up numbers without Cade even needing to be there, you love to see it
Bro had a FreeDawkins duel with Luka and won
Death, taxes, and the lakers letting a role player become a star for the night
I mean you guys cant defend the perimeter at all?Ā
Also clutch time heroics was going to regress at some point.
Team has 1 POA defender, and this is the end result. Despite the recent winning streak the roster still needs to be completely overhauled in the offseason.
Without Smart I deadass think AR is our best defender on small quick guards. Itās the main reason he has such a bad reputation defensively because weāve been using him as our PoA defender until Smart cameā¦
Vando is not that fast and gets beat off the dribble nowadays by quicker guards, our best other options would be Kobe or Bronny I guess?
Leaving Austin Reaves in on a clutch defensive possession is a choice
Lakers will need an answer for this in the playoffs. Last year the wolves attacked him all game long
If Reaves/Luka are guarding you, you attack them and live with the results.
YOU GOT JENKED
As we all expected
This dude has pulled a victory out of defeat in at least 3 different games this season. He’s been bad recently, but man is he clutch.
Iād trade reaves for him
No deal. Don’t try to Nico us
Jenkinsanity!!
Daniss Can’t Miss
Why is Austin on the court at all it is after timeout you need a stop
Luka single handily ended his MVP case š
Just like it was planned outĀ
Liiittle bit of a pushoff but small guys usually get that benefit against bigger guys.
LOL
He’s either starting to go on a run or the lakers defense let a 8pg a game 40% become a star
Heās a rhythm guy heās had big games with Cade out before I think he just struggles with reduced minutes personally
Daniss has shown up when Cade is out for any game this season. Zero surprise from Piston’s fans to see him have another good night. We had a bit of a win streak when cade and other starters were out early in the season. Our G League Jenkins The Menace carried us through.
Mid-tier role players having the games of their lives against the Lakers is an eternal tale
Y’all think you’re special. This is how we play. We didn’t fluke our way into 1st seed.
If it keeps happening then its not an accident
Pistons just have random bench guys go off, itās the quality of the depth, Cade or Duren are always good to go, but sometimes itās BBallPaul, sometimes it Daniss, sometimes in Huerter, sometimes itās Duncan, sometimes it Ron, no matter what we find some guy to elevate his game for the night and get the W. Itās beautiful
Sounds like the Lakers roster outside of Luka. Mid-tier (at best) role players
laker fans thinking the world revolves around their mid ass team. An eternal tale.
Yes your defence is an insult to basketball and these are the best players in the world. Playing Reaves, Luka and Kennard together, who you guarding, an actual chair?

You should be downvoted lmao he’s been a key contributor on this team all season. Keep up
Edit: “I’m gonna get downvoted for this” proceeds to delete comment where you running lmao you asked for it
Well maybe he could, do yāall play again this season?
You’re gonna get downvoted cause you’re dead wrongĀ
