I was focused on the Nets game, but I was checking out the Dallas game also. Pretty competitive game for the most part. Kidd's benching in the dying minutes of the game is extremely questionable

Just to point out, his contract runs out precisely at the same time...

The game was a pretty good indicator of what we have, and that's what I wanted to see. Like I said, a competitive loss is good enough for me against the Spurs right now. By the time we see them again, we should be clicking - I fully expect a win in that game.

As much as I hated to see Kidd on the bench for the final play, I didn't think it was a bad move. You want your best scorers on the floor for that one play to spread the floor, so, if I had to choose between Stack and Kidd, I'd be leaning toward Stack.

Outside that play, I thought the game was great! That's only the 5th game after we had a change of guard (floor leader), and we hung tough until the final seconds AWAY from AAC.

Kidd got his double digit assists against one of the top grind-it-out half-court defense, so this little experiment just might pay off for Cuban. I do hope Kidd takes more shots. He only took 8 shots, and I'd prefer to see around 12 from him.

Oh... and I hope Michael "Booo" Finley would just retire already.

I disagree, you want the players on the floor who can make the best plays. If you have five shooters, you still need someone who can create, we were all happy that Dirk doesn't have to be that guy anymore. He has become a solid passer, but he should be a finisher, not a facilitator. And weren't you the one who said that you don't want to see Terry as the PG anymore ? Never ever ?

Dude.... don't get me started.

That was my beef with the play. I love JET as the 2 guard, not the PG. The shot should have gone to Stack in the corner for a three.....

Kidd would have delivered that pass right on the money.

Good point.

I mean if you trade for Kidd to get easier shots, it defies logic to think that he can't make a play when there is only a minute or a few seconds left. What is the point then ? Wait until the playoffs to see what he would do isn't cutting it.

edwardcyh

I really couldn't tell you....

Maybe AJ used an old JET-Dirk play? Maybe Kidd was too excited from making SI cover?

Bottom line is Dallas lost a very closely contested game against a top team in the West.

I know you love Dirk because you're from Germany croco...I'll stop blasting him...

croco

Yeah, I'm really known for being a Dirk homer.

If you don't know nothing about someone stop acting like you do, it makes you look silly.

edwardcyh

Devin killed us? It's more like Dallas FREED Devin.

My feelings toward Finley is quite public around here....
