The Angry Point Guard
Oh no, not good to read this afternoon that Kidd is ticked, at basically everyone, for not pulling their weight. "We're so quick to bail" ain't exactly a ringing endorsement.
I'm in front of the Utah game with the laptop, Kidd just made yet another silly mistake, saving a ball almost out of bounds but trying to airmail it across court, where it was easily picked off for a dunk. The Nets are already down 7 with 4:25 to go in the quarter. RJ's been quiet. Magloire continues to irritate when he's down low on offense. When Antoine Wright is your best offensive player at the moment, well, you've got issues.
But back to Kidd. Expect that Kidd is tired of the same old, same old - poor start out of the gate, hustle like hell to get back into the playoff race, tire out and die in the playoffs. He's tired of no one stepping up their games, wilting with the game on the line, and who can blame him? Maybe this is the year we reset the roster, trade Kidd and others, and rebuild with younger or draft picks. Too early to say that, but after another tepid start, you can't help but think that Thornski is thinking it over.
More to come shortly, I'll watch some more of this game (rotations should be interesting, the same starting five are on the court with 3:35 left in the first) and try to figure out how this road trip is going to go, without Carter.
