Mavericks are the Nets of the West. They're so similar. What the hell is with Kidd? His play is nonexistent, and it's just getting annoying. He wanted to be in Dallas, here you are. How about you actually do something important in the playoffs?
Kidd is blending in with the crowd. Move the ball upcourt, pass it to Howard, and go stand next to the 3-point line. Awesome.
Dallas down 10, what the hell happened in the first quarter. We need Dirk and Howard to have big 3rd quarters.
The whole team blows. Eddie Jones and Stackhouse can't make a wide-open shot or play D. Terry....I don't know where he is. Howard...I can't believe people actually thought he could be a franchise player. Kidd should retire...now.
This is just a poor showing by the Mavericks, down 16 going into the half. They really need to step up, theyve been going in a downward spiral recently and I've been trying to ignore it and stay biased but this is ridiculous Avery needs to get in their faces, and Dirk needs a new pair of testicles. Kidd needs to be more active and get the ball to Dirk Howard needs to drive, not pull-up Who's guarding David West? Get Dampier to do something, he's been nonexistant this series I want to see; Kidd/Terry/Howard/Nowitzki/Dampier getting the majority of the minutes, with Bass coming in an out - Stackhouse and Eddie Jones suck these days. We need to put more pressure on the Hornets shooting, they won't stay so red-hot and we're shooting 47% which is decent in my eyes. Please Dallas, please.
Am I being punished here? Dallas' defense is a replica of the Nets defense. Most notably, their inability to get to open shooters.
Damn, I think this succession of plays defined the game: Kidd dribbles up the court, posts up at the three point line, backs his defender down to the FT line, kicks it out to Dirk for the FT jumper, and bricks it. Paul drives, takes it back, and then gives it to Chandler for a SLAM.

Kidd can't just sit and watch. He has to be agressive. He has to be more offensive minded. He has to make Paul work on the other end. With him scoring, it will open up more situations for the others. If anything, Avery should make him the first option on offense. His assists and rebounds will be there. But they need Kidd to score. Kidd scoring more wins games. It's a proven fact.
