Derek Fisher drops that much on you? You either suck balls at defense or you have reached the point in your demands that you don't have to play every possesion.

I don't think I can go the whole season watching that.
 
he wants his cash, ive been saying this since forever. he doesnt care about a title no longer, atleast for the forseeable future, if he gets his extension, he wont complain
 
Or it's just one of those games where Fish just catches on fire.
 
Kidd hasnt cared since november, and really hasnt cared the past few games, notice he doesnt have any triple doubles, dumb play by him if he wants to play in LA he should have at least had one tonight.

And goats fly..
 
This board is full of a bunch of cry babies.

And you guys wonder why people low ball you on offers for Kidd.
 
I dunno...I've been seeing fish alot this season and I have to say, he's been doing pretty damn good. one game he had like back to back to back 3's.

Those two things do not correlate in any way whatsoever. And nobody is offering , "us", aka posters on an internet message board anything.

You heard the man. I expect every single one of you Nets posters to write a letter of apology to THRON and Kikipedia.

Nets Fans, where ruining Kidd's trade value happens?

You don't think I had to sit through them the year after Shaq? The monumental collapse against Phoenix? The downfall of last year? It's a part of being a franchise. There are deals out there for Kidd, Thorn needs to take the best one ASAP.
 
Kidd is showing somewhat less care, but he's still hustling out there.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>notice he doesnt have any triple doubles,</div>

That's funny, because when Kidd was getting his triple doubles, members were still complaining, since majority of them were in losing efforts.
 
Funny how the Laker fans start talking now.

We have the right to whine. The man we paid 100 mil can't even give a hoot on defense and we cannot get to a better team because he asked for that much money.

Yeah, Kupchak and Cuban read this board. In fact, that's why they're not willing to give us Farmar. Because of us. Totally. Yup.
 
I'm still waiting for Black Mamba to tell us how our dissatisfaction with losses has caused people to low ball Thronne in trade talks.

I wouldn't wish what he's going through on anyone, but Fisher just basically announced he wanted to play for the Lakers, and he was dealt there essentially for nothing. He is a HUGE upgrade. So the Lakers were essentially given two of their starters this year, while other franchises have to fight to keep their players from leaving. It's a wonderful world we live in.

Rooting for the Lakers is like rooting for Microsoft.
 
Fisher maybe beat Kidd twice one-on-one. A couple of times Carter was late in rotating and contesting on the perimeter. Once or twice Kobe posted up Kidd and gave Fisher the wide-open looks. Kidd did a decent job on Kobe when he was guarding him.
 
Hmmm... A lot of you are now quick to blame everything on Kidd. Really, did you expect the guy to take what has happened to the team sitting down and with nothing to say? Fact is, the Nets would still be a lottery team year in and year out if not for Jason Kidd. He carried the team to 2 finals stint, turned down the opportunity to play with Duncan (where he would have already won a ring), the man wanted to win with the Nets saying he felt that "there was unfinished business in Jersey". What does management do? Practically let Martin out of the door. For what? Look at the player trail. In trying to keep the fans happy, Thorn got Vince. Sure the guy was a star, (keyword: WAS) but they should have gotten a big. Kidd has every right to be frustrated. Kidd wanted to retire a Net. Thorn hasn't made a descent move since Jason Kidd. To top that off, he gives Carter a $61M deal and can't give the player that took the team out of the cellar a 2 year extension. What is that? And now Thorn says he won't make a deal for Kidd that "make sense"? Now Thorn thinks. On one hand I can't blame Nets fans for being this way. Knowing that you may very well lose the teams best player since Dr. J is something that 's not easy.

Revisionist history at its finest. You should be very proud of yourself.
 
First of all, Kidd didn't play bad defense on Fisher. He just plain old didn't play defense on him, and left him wide open at every moment possible.

And second of all, it wasn't just Kidd. Carter was leaving him open left and right, letting him get to the basket whenever he felt like it.

Really, it was a matter of effort, of which Carter and Kidd gave none when it came to guarding Fish.

On the other hand, they played some good defense on Kobe. It wasn't just that he was having an off night, they seemed to really hound him.

Those are simply the facts.

last time I checked JKidd gets paid nearly 20 million this year and next year. The nets don't owe him anything, he gets paid to play a game for a living. He has no right to quit on this organization. He's not a GM but a player. Adding Vince to the team instead of KMart actually was the right move. I'll take a 20pt 4rebound 4 assist Vince over an 11pt, 8 rebound Martin anyday. Kidd and the other athletes of the 2000s seem to feel that if they're in a bad situation they'd rather be part of the problem then the solution. NBA players today have no pride and are only concerned with their individual goals and money for the most part. I don't mind them trying to get their money but for players to throw entire teams and coaches under the bus for their personal gain is just not right. I miss the players from the 70s. the Superstar system is great but only when you have athletes that respect others. Clearly JKidd has shown time and time again that he has a lack of respect for anyone but himself in my honest opinion.
 
John Stockton never gave up on the Jazz and I don't think Kidd should have gave up on us.

I completely disagree with that statement, 110%.

Sure, vince can drop 30 on any given night, but that doesn't guarantee a win, and doesn't promote consistency at all, unless he drops 30 every game (which he doesn't). He plays poor defense, and lowers the level of team defense.

Kenyon, on the other hand, creates great team defense. He leads the team on defense, blocks shots, and rebounds, and therefore prevents the other team from scoring a high number of points, thereby negating the fact that he can't score as many points.

I'd take Kenyon over Vince any day of the week. Even if Kmart was injured for a year or two, imagine if we had him now...this team would most definitely be better than 20-28.

Yea, I"d take kenyon over VC any day of the week. What Kenyon brings defensively, will be there every night. VC can have a cold shooting night and if you're depending on 25 from him to win, you won't win. KMart will shutdown the other team's best offensive player, he brings a swagger few in this league have. Just like Kidd in his hey day, Kenyon's worth is not limited to the stat sheet.

Stockton had Malone, Hornacek,, Russell and suitable back up players.

Yeah but why would you bother shutting down a guy like Kobe? It's not like he's the best player in the league or something. Oh wait...

The loss sucks but I'd rather someone like Fisher do it then Kobe. Kidd is the best help defender the Nets have so it makes sense for him to be the help defender.

Did anyone seriously expect the Lakers to not play exceptionally well with Pau making his debut? I'm sure they're all stoked that they are now one of the best teams in the league again. They are going to be playing well for a while now.

When a team gets blown out like that, you have to blame all of the players.
