Brandon Jennings goes 'goosey'
Written by Brendan Bowers   
Sunday, 07 March 2010 10:38

Brandon Jennings took the court Saturday night looking like Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man, and not only went for 25 and the win, but he also felt it necessary to go 'goosey' - as evidenced below at the 29 second mark. 


Now, for me, if you're gonna try to show the Cavs up with a dose of their own shimmy's and shenanigans, you should probably do it when LeBron James isn't in street clothes.  That said, even without LBJ active, there's no way this could have gone over well in the Cavaliers locker room.  Especially not if you're Mo Williams.

Mo looked like someone shot his dog last night in the post game interview, and maybe its more like someone shot his 'goose.'  He did nothing to slow Jennings - the guy who's subsequently replaced him in Milwaukee - all night, and he didn't make the rookie work on the defensive end either.  And by the time he saw the guy he was guarding flash that goosey signal right past him over towards his bench, there wasn't much he could do about that either.

In response to his performance on Saturday night, Mo Williams posted the following three tweets on his twitter account...

via @mogotti2:

"I apologize to all my fans and Cavs fans for a shitty performance to say the least. I will get past this a get better, stay with me pls"

"Woke up this morning, and I feel great. Mentally I'm strong. It's hard for things to effect me. Thx to all my Twitter fam for all the love"

"On to the next one, all black everythin"

Besides being a catchy twitter handle, I see no other reason for Mo Williams to refer to himself as a guy that once headed the organized crime underworld of New York City.  Meaning, he seems to me more like that nice friendly neighbor you have down the street than he does in any way resemble John Gotti.  That said, I think he's a genuine guy who wouldn't have tweeted that apology if he didn't mean it.  I'm sure he's sorry, and I'm sure he cares about the fans in Cleveland.  However, I do think its possible he might care a little too much.  I think he wants to be a guy that LeBron wants to play alongside of, and help bring a title to this town soo bad, that I think it sometimes rattles him.  Like it did last year in the ECF.  If I could post a tweet in response to Mo's, that he would read, it would simply say this:

"You have game for days...just relax, and do your thing.  If you play your game, your tough to stop, and so are your Cavaliers." 

And ps, I counted, its less than 140 characters, so it would work...just hope he hears me.

Charlie V. did in in the Pistons game too when he hit a 3. Pretty laughable.

missed that by CV...it is laughable, just not as laughable as Jennings hairstyle...which was the craziest look I'd seen all year until I turned on LA - ORL today, and saw Ron-Ron's

what makes matters worse is that jennings didn't even do it right. the "goosey" is not just an "ok" sign over the eye. they actually flatten out the thumb and finger to the point where it nearly covers the eye and then they have to squint to see thru what's left of the opening between the thumb and finger. if you're going to mock someone, the least you can do is do it right. that being said, what has jennings done to be so cocky in the first place??? had lebron actually played, it's doubtful the bucks would have even been in this game, let alone won it. the cavs were missing 30 points, 8 boards and 8 assists and still only lost by 7. so word to jennings - stfu rookie!!!

All valid points and I agree with each of them completely...the only thing I'd add is that if Mo Williams wants to be an All Star, and arguably the second best player on this team, he has to step up and make sure that Brandon Jennings does not put himself in a position to clown the Cavaliers like he did last night.
That goosey was dirty, but sorta deserved

I didn't know how to feel about it. He dissed our team, but at the same time he beat them at their own game. That kid's got swagger, for better or for worse.

I also like in the video how you can see LeBron fidgeting and walking around because he's so anxious to be in the game.

I agree with your take, Brendan. To make sure he can't make fun of the goosey, he's got to be put in a position where he can't hit big shots like that.
I'm Glad You Posted This

I saw the highlights of the game and I saw when Jennings threw up the goose and I was pretty surprised. In related news, a person from NBA.com tweeted this today and it got me fired up...

"LeBron not pleased with Brandon Jennings' antics in Milwaukee. Privately tells teammates he's gonna light Jennings up next time teams play."

Mark you calendars...March 31st at the Q
