    <div align='left'>Game Ball- I didn't see the game, but when I came home from lab I saw some Vinsanity highlights, and since he dropped 27 I'm giving it to him. Apparently Boki had a good game, says NBA TV, too.

    Lame Ball - Jason Kidd's defense. 27 points Fisher? wtf.

    On another note, who played D on Kobe? 6 points, coddamn

    Game Ball: Boki
    Lame Ball: Antoine's Wright's 1 for 5 felt like a 1 for 10, didn't it? He is once again terrible. Also, Boone at 84-81 once again displayed hands like feet on a key rebound. His hands are Kwame-esque sometimes.

    Boone's hands aren't that bad. Watch the tape a lot of passes were coming at him below the knees...if you pass that low on a bug man they normally won't catch it.

    Game Ball- Vince, I guess. More like nobody, but if I had to pick someone...Vince. Or Stro. Or Boki.

    Lame Ball - Jason Kidd. It wasn't that he was playing bad defense. That wasn't the case at all. It was more like he wasn't playing defense AT ALL.

    And I saw quite a few of those passes to Josh Boone. I mean, why the hell would you pass it to his foot? What the hell? Cmon, Kidd, you're better than that!

    Game Ball: Boki. Agressive, attacked the rim, and GOOD DEFENSE and GOOD REBOUNDING...finally!

    Lame Ball: Vince Carter. 10-27 when Gasol was 10-15. Wasted jump shots. And late in the 4th quarter, all fade away jumpers. Clank! Clank! Clank!

    I really noticed this tonight but I've also seen this all season...Kidd for some reason passes low as hell to Boone and then Boone doesn't convert an easy FG. What pisses me off is I've heard the announcers criticize Boone for taking to long to put up a shot when the problem obviously was a bad pass. Watch the tapes...when Boone gets a pass from the numbers up he converts 98% of the time...the instances he loses the ball or gets blocked are when Kidd goes below the knees with his pass.

    Also tonight I saw Kidd get out on the break and instead of pushing he passes to Boone at midcourt when Boone is in full stride...tell me how many centers are supposed to run the break with the ball? Boone made a nice pass on the play but still it was a bad pass by Kidd.

    His passing is suspect, his defense is non existant...honestly I think instead of making crazy demands we should just accept a trade and get Kidd out of here. Gimme Devin Harris, Brandon Bass, a first and some expiring contracts and lets call it a day.

    I get that you're a boone lover and I like him, too, but open your eyes, his hands are terrible. He always gets rebounds knocked out of his hands. He doesn't secure it and hold it tight. And, yes, Kidd has been throwing bad passes his way lately, but how about showing the ability to make a nice grab? Not every pass is going to be on the numbers. It's something he definitely has to work on.

    Dude he's the best rebounding big man we've had in the Jason Kidd era. Honestly criticizing his hands on rebounds is just ridiculous...he lost a key ball to Pau Gasol last night yes...but thats an unsusual play. His hands aren't bad for a second year big man...and I'm sorry but no big men including Kevin Garnett can pick up passes off there foot. Watch the game. Jkidd doesnt pass to Boone above the waist.

    Good job on basing your whole opinion of Josh Boone on 2 plays.

    Kobe dislocated his pinkie. Perimeter defense is a luxury these days.

    Wow, do you guys have some blinders on. I'm not basing it on 2 plays. He drops passes every single game. At least 1. And he bobbles rebounds frequently. I like the player, he's coming along, but if you don't see he's got questionable hands, whatever, he's the next Bill Russell, sorry...

    his 9 rpg and 1 topg as a starter say otherwise. He does it probably once a game where it's his own fault.

    Other times, it's a terrible bad pass that's either not within reach, or that's closer to an opponent than to Boone.

    Kobe said that Kidd pulled one of his fingers out of socket. Kobe was going one way the digit was going the other. So Kobe said that it felt like he was playing with 4 fingers for the last 3 quarters. Good for them, Gasol got the ball often and converted, giving Kobe confidence to go to Gasol.

    NJ.com is a shitty site...don't bother with those idiots. If you see a rumor on this board, netsdaily or espn then maybe its legit...trusting NJ.com is like believing what you read in the National Enquirer...not smart.

    I know, netsinteractive is pretty shitty too. But still upsets me that people are thinking that. Well one said when kidd is traded Williams or JB will go to.

    The only people wearing blinders are the people who deny Kidd is making terrible passes lately. I'm sorry but passing to a big man at mid court on a break, pass below peoples knees and at there backs are signs that
    1) you don't give a shit
    2) you're lazy
    3) you don't care if your teammates catch the pass.
    honestly all are guards need special training on passing...like how Childress picked off passes between Kidd and Carter all night a couple games back. The passing by our guards is atrocious.

    A dropped pass is counted as a turnover towards the guy throwing the pass and not the guy with the bad hands. Your education continues. Your welcome.
