The Mavs-Hornets series could be interesting <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Had he forgiven Kidd? “I don’t know if you ever quite let it go, but in your heart of hearts, our heavenly Father says you must forgive,” Scott said. “But human nature is to hold onto things when you were done wrong, to have some negative feeling about the person, or persons, that have done those things to you.”</div> Was Byron "lazy" with the Nets? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>His style has been to trust his assistants with different sides of the ball. He let Eddie Jordan incorporate the Princeton offense in New Jersey but eventually found that was held against him. He couldn’t win. Larry Bird had come and gone as the Pacers coach, reached an NBA Finals with one assistant (Rick Carlisle) running his offense and another (Dick Harter) his defense. No one called him lazy, incompetent. “He was a delegator,” Scott said, laughing. “When I did I was …”</div> And is this a shot at Frank? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>“I’ve been in basketball all of my life. I can watch a tape, look at the offense and defense one time. I don’t need to watch it seven or eight times. I always look at those guys who say they work 20 hours a day and think maybe they don’t know a whole lot about basketball then.</div>
An interesting sidebar to the potential Hornets-Mavs first-round matchup: It would be the first time Jason Kidd faces Byron Scott, his former coach in New Jersey, in a playoff series. "You know Byron is dying for a piece of Jason in that series," one of Kidd's former Nets teammates said. "You know he wants to beat Jason real bad." hahaha!! kill em byron!! show frank how to motivate a team and let kidd know he messed up by pulling that snake move!
