Yea I was left dumbfounded after that move as well.
I don't understand Avery.
Kidd might not be a great shooter, but you're trying to tell me he couldn't have set something up for anyone?
I'm not complaining, but wtf

Didn't you hear Doug Collins? Kidd is the greatest ever. Putting him on the bench was the best place for him to help the team succeed.
HAHA, whats the point of getting this supposed "closer" if you're going to go with Terry and Stackhouse instead.
HAHAHAHA I laughed my ass of. We would have won anyways, but Avery is an idiot.
I would have preferred him in the game. The Mavs scored on basically 1 on 1 plays. Kidd had a few nice assists early...then the Mavs persona shined through. They have tons of individual talent, tons of great shooters, and a lotta quickness. That's what made it such a great game...not Kidd.
kidd can not shoot that is why

The people over at the Mavs board seem to want Avery fired more than ever.
Can't say I really blame them, but I'll totally take the W
Avery is an ing idiot. im surprised he didnt just put devean george at the point in that situation. you shouldnt have the ball in JET's hands, he should be spotting up while Kidd and Dirk work the pick and roll. that allows kidd to see the floor and make the decisions...instead ing avery is joke. his love affair with Stack was more important than playing Kidd
Surprised here also, but probably Avery didn't want the Spurs to let Kidd take his jump shot.
Kidd's got a good basketball IQ that he might have set up a play. Weird decision though.
avery must have mistaken the light skinned point guard as JJ Barea, thats the reason why he took him out of the game
maybe all the mavs players wanted kidd as coach so they sent him to the bench.
poor avery.
Mavs fans are idiots trying to lay blame on anyone. This was as close as you can get. Kidd is prolly the best fast break passer in the league...not in half court tho. He is no Nash, or even Parker who can drive the lane and find an open man. Dallas had their best 1 on 1 players on the court, and Terry's shot was a good one, Bowens block was just better...he may have even fouled him.
Tho I'm happen with the outcome, at the start of the play I woulda preferred Kidd on the floor
I tried to give him the benefit of a doubt. I thought they might be running a set play that they have practiced all year, and Kidd wasn't as familiar with it. But noooo.... That has to be one of the most ignorant coaching decisions of the season.
And for those of you saying Kidd can't shoot - I'd take my chances with him in the clutch. Not to mention the fact that he can get someone else a chip-shot. Or that he is capable of picking up an offensive rebound and getting a putback.
If I were Mark Cuban I'd die A.J.'s hair blue and hang him from my rear-view mirror like a troll doll.
Edit: If I were Mark Cuban? Echhh! That thought may keep me awake tonight.
come on now.....29 other coach's in this league would have had Kidd on the floor with the ball in his hands
On a final play, you want as many shooters on the floor as possible. Kidd doesn't qualify.
You didn't see that brick he put up like 2-3 possessions earlier? It was from like 12 feet and drew the heavy iron.
Avery was stupid. Who cares if Kidd's jumpshot is iffy.
He could have opened a lot of looks or had the Spurs dare him to shoot and gamble on an overtime from Kidd, now Kidd has to bite his lip about being insulted when he should be involved in clutch situations.
just sayin'...
as a Spurs fan I was laughing when they showed Kidd on the bench. Did you see the many blown opportunities by the Mavs? they looked clueless on offense
29 other coaches have never won championships...
Not dissing Kidd, but Dallas strength's are their great shooters and 1 on 1 players. Kidd helps them on fast breaks, but, in half court...Dallas players like going 1 on 1. And for Dallas, that is not a jibe...they're damn good at it.
Bass impressed on his 1 on 1 moves tonight as well. He's gonna be a good fit.
i understand what your saying but then why was Dampier on the floor, you need someone to run the offense and Damp doesnt qualify....what good does a bunch of shooters do if no one is there to get the ball in their hands
Who knows? a win is a win... that is a Dallas problem.... go spurs go

exactly...kidd is their to calm things down. it was way to hectic that last 30 sec
Because when I think of shooters, I definitely think of Erica Dampier....
because he's old and had already played 35 minutes. he was too tired
I think he was scared Kidd would try some crazy pass and turn it over because the Mavs are not used to him yet, He did have a few turn overs today.
I think it was his shooting but he should have been in there.
If he was there to calm things down, that would be the time they needed that the most. It shouldn't matter if he is new to the team, Kidd has to be in there in crunch time.
