And what I posted, likely when the thread was locked, so no one could have responded anyways: So Kidd is done because of his one assist half, huh? By that logic, Kobe is clearly done since he could only hit 11/29 the other night against you guys. Oh yea, LeBron is probably done too because of that game he had a week or so ago when he didn't even record an assist. Hell, Stephen Curry must be done before his NBA career has even started since he struggled in a few games this year. Oh, and Patty Mills is done before his NBA career starts too since he only went 2/14 the other night with 5 points. Could you have a bigger double standard, just curious. One half does not make a season. He's 5th in the NBA in assists this year. His scoring might have dropped off, but he's also not asked to do it as much with Dallas. Dallas isn't asking him to score the basketball. That's why they have Jason Terry, Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard. Kidd is there to get the offense going, and if he gets points in the process, it's a plus.
Re: Meant to post this in the Kidd thread If you're serious, good job missing the point of his post. If you're being sarcastic it's unnecessary. As for the original post, thanks for the info.
Why are you comparing Kidd to Kobe and LeBron? Sure those two have a couple bad games but they have Wayyyyyyy more good games than Kidd has had this season so there's no comparison. It's a terrible argument. Learn the game, then post.
Wow, you don't get it, do you? I'm proving a point. One bad game or one bad half doesn't mean you're done, which is basically what you're saying about Kidd. So, by that logic, LeBron should have retired after his no assist game or after each of his atrocious performances against the Lakers. And Patty Mills? Don't bother coming to the NBA because of you're 2/14 shooting the other night. You're reasoning is ridiculous and flawed. One bad half or one bad game does not mean your career is over.
Re: Meant to post this in the Kidd thread Thank you for understanding me. I'm glad I'm not the only one who understood my post.
Re: Meant to post this in the Kidd thread It's ok, he was talking about me. I have a tendency to get called that, for whatever reason.
Dude. You have to put it in context. It's not just one bad half. But the gradual decline that has led up to that bad half. He has slowly but surely gotten less and less effective in this league and I looked at the boxscore and went "wow, his prime has past." And you must agree with me. He's not what he was. He used to be an MVP candidate. Now he's not even an All Star and getting "less and less effective." I was noting it. Every single player in the history of the game reaches a moment when they are "done." It appears that Kidd has reached that moment. He is not what he was. Not close. His days of being a dominant point guard in this league are "done."
Re: Meant to post this in the Kidd thread Everyone understood your post. Most people agree with it. It's just that KS likes to pretend he dies when he goes to sleep and is reborn when he wakes up. Each day is it's own separate world that should be evaluated and treated as such.
And I do agree here. He is past his prime. He's not an elite player anymore. However, he's not done. He's still an effective player and manages the game better than almost every other PG in the NBA. The reason I made the point I made is because it seemed like you were saying he might as well just say fuck it and retire because of his bad half.
For everybody freaking out on KingSpeed... He has a history of pointing out stats for one game and basing an entire opinion of the present and future on it. Sometime he says hes kidding (after page 5), sometimes he says it with a straight face Whoever was pointing out his one game opinions and how they are flawed dont bother...trust me, save your breath. I was down that path a year ago
god dammit, where'd the other thread go? I got that it was a joke, but it's a touchy area, and there's definitely an element of tribalism involved. I still think that it's disrespectful for you to exercise mod powers when we have plenty of good, community selected moderators already. Again, I don't give a fuck about the other forums here, I want to talk with Blazer fans. The only time I ever venture is to laugh (while lurking) at another team's forum in crisis mode. Any Blazer fans out of line in another team's forums should be dealt with by that forum's moderators. Precisely why I don't go to other teams' forums....
Kidd already said he wants to play until he's 40, so he's still in his prime guys Kidd still is one of the highest IQ guys in the NBA, so the guy is legit
Shit, IDK about Kidd being done, but I do know that sometimes our PG's don't get more than 3 assists a game...
