Does anyone have the mpeg or any soundbite of Josh Howard saying “They went up and just hit the side of the rim or went in and out. You can’t control what the ball do. Crazy, man. Y’all hilarious.” PLEASE MAKE IT AVAILABLE

Yeah, a guy that guided two very average New Jersey Nets teams to the Finals is terrible… the worst point guard ever. I see what you’re saying now.

Fair enough Aubrey. I just think a guy who can consistently get double figures in 3 categories deserves a lot of respect. After all, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
Different points of view. That’s cool. Good to hear he didn’t sleep with your wife after all ; – )

And college coaches suck in the NBA. Please, no Rick Pitino nor John Calipari… I’d rather watch the Rockets than a Mavs team coached by one of those guys.

That’s Rick PITINO, sorry.

Rick Patino comes to mind. It is not likely he could be coaxed into trying it (NBA) again, but he would fit in nicely with what Dallas is looking for. With Boston he had too many jobs and not enough to work with.

I’m not saying harris could stop him but what he could do is make Paul play more defense…Harris is fast he likes to drive. Kidd cant shoot doesnt drive….and one or two good games out of all the games he played with us isnt saying much. Anyways if we had made Paul work harder on defense maybe he wouldnt have dominated so much on offense. You have to wear a guy out and we certainly did not do that to Paul. With Kidd Paul basically got a break everytime he was on defense. I mean if a team beats me with Kidd shooting ill take it cuz its about a .05% chance that will happen…and i look at things very objectively i dont see Kidd as a name i watch him play i dont like the way he plays therefore i dont like him…maybe its hard for u to see him as he is bc u just see him as a big name…

Wow. Kidd has a shocker in Game 4 and then the Kidd haters are back. I’m not sure what he’s done to you guys, slept with your wives or something maybe? I can just feel the hate, but he’s not the main problem here. I understand Paul did dominate the series but who actually did shut him down and you’re kidding yourself if you think Harris would have. Then again, when you’re going head to head with Kobe for MVP honors, I’m sure anyone OTHER than Kidd could do it ’cause he’s so old and pathetic huh?

I imagine it’s hard for you to objectively find the issues with this team when you are so filled with hatred towards one player. The Mavs have a chance to find a coach that either suits the majority of the players they have or one that will entice the players he needs to become Mavs to suit his coaching. Which one would be best I don’t know. But I do know that taking every single opportunity to bad mouth one guy ain’t gonna help anyone.

By the way, I HAVE watched and played a lot of basketball in my time and I can tell you that the last game of the regular season, the first playoff game and the third playoff game would have been like the second one where the Hornets were ‘goofin’ off’ on the Mavs by the start of the 4th if Kidd wasn’t there.

But I understand your frustration when someone who comes with a reputation doesn’t live up to expectations. Yet I thought it would be Howard that got no love rather than someone who actually cared enough to try.

RS unlike Memphis Lakers wouldnt give up Kobe for nothing….so how we going to get him..and the best question how we going to pay him???? Oh and Kidd can’t play D’antoni’s game it involves running and if u watch bball at all you would notice he’s slow…hence he got burned by Chris Paul repeatedly…Chris Paul showed how truly pathetic Kidd is….I wish Cuban would sell the team and we start all over cu right now thats the only way things are going to be fixed. ANd i think Harris if he has the right coach can be a great pg…he is really fast and he has a better jump shot then Kidd not that that is saying much…
