A couple of things are troublesome about this situation. First, it makes no sense to state that you got Kidd to be your closer and at the end of an important game when you’re worried about his shooting? Second, Johnson called the last 20+ games of the season an on-the-fly training camp and if that’s the case why not have Jason Kidd involved in crunch time, especially at the end of a game with your number one rival.
This doesn’t bode well for the Dallas Mavericks and sadly this ordeal has proven to me that even though the year has changed, nothing has changed with the Dallas Mavericks. This season will end with a resounding thud just as loud as last season did for this team. When it ends miserably Avery Johnson will be shown the door.
A disappointing ending will also have every one questioning the future of the franchise, as most of it was traded to New Jersey for Jason Kidd. I love J. Kidd and think he is one of the best point guards in the NBA. Win, lose, or draw if he’s on my team he’s on the floor for me when the outcome is to be decided.
As a basketball fan I wanted to see more out of the Mavericks and gauge if the new look Mavericks were playoff ready—after Jason Terry’s shot to tie the game was slapped into the middle of next week, I had my answer. On paper Dallas should be an elite team, but this recent loss was reminiscent of someone pulling the plug on the respirator of the Mavericks 2008 season.
