Yeah, definitely not one of Kidd's shining moments. And vince had 5 TOs, not 7
I love Kidd but if he can't shoot better than that,then he should...
Give his shots to VC and RJ.
Kidd,I love the guy,the amount of respect I've gained for him since Carter's trade(I actually starting seeing the dude on a consistent basis) is unbelievable. But his streaky shooting gets on my nerves. He's either 5/9 or 1/9. If he's struggling,I don't care. Defense,rebounding,assists,hustle are areas where Kidd can excel. But if he's struggling,then he should give up those shots to VC or RJ.
ALSO*:Vince Carter with 7 TOs...I'm really not one of those guys who constantly criticize Carter. Actually,I never do so,but this is too much...

nah he had like 5 i think... maybe nba gamecast is wrong..kdub said:He only had 3 TOs.
Kidd Kidd Kidd....... :naughty:
Kidd failing against a Skiles coached team is quite surprising
He's to old now to fix anything.
Kidd is a DECENT shooter..he can knock those OPEN jump shots and three pointers...but shooting is not a PURE POINT GUARD duty..so we don't need Kidd to shoot..
Billups is a considerably better shooter than Kidd but look @ their season percentages.
Billups' FG%: .416
Kidd's FG%: .409 (used to be [email protected] 42% not too long ago but he's been struggling a lot w/ his shot of late)
Not a big difference. It's b/c Kidd is usually really smart w/ his shot selection/recognition. If he had VC type of shot selection that shooting % drops dramatically. I don't worry about his shooting much b/c fascilitating the offense & distributing is his main priority & he's 1 of the best @ that. I think that our low assist #s contributed more to the loss tonight than Kidd's shooting. Kidd only had 4 dimes which is very low for him if you discount his final assist had it not been for VC making that 50 footer @ the buzzer. Kidd's never been a good shooter & it's too late in his career to really improve that.

Maaan what an incredible signature. You can add a lot more proof too :clap:ravor44 said:Kidd is a DECENT shooter..he can knock those OPEN jump shots and three pointers...but shooting is not a PURE POINT GUARD duty..so we don't need Kidd to shoot..
everyone seems to know that but himravor44 said:Kidd is a DECENT shooter..he can knock those OPEN jump shots and three pointers...but shooting is not a PURE POINT GUARD duty..so we don't need Kidd to shoot..
For a player like Kidd, you live with their mistakes.
Sorry for the mistake on Carter's TOs...I just hate it when Kidd goes 1 of 9 knowing those touches could've gone to Curly or RJ.
If we don't need him to shoot then he should stop shooting because he lost us the game against the Bulls
