So Kidd is a bad coach. Are we surprised? (lets not talk about how well Lebron is playing)

Aw c'mon, that's one of my favorite things.

Kidd needs time. I mean, he had zero experience; what did people expect? That said, I hope the Neltics end up being somewhere near as bad as they look.

The only thing I'm surprised about Jason Kidd is that he hasn't been arrested for beating up a girl or driving drunk in the last couple weeks. Kidd's a complete putz, always has been. I expect him to last the season just because they will try to save face with the ignorant hire, but no way he stays past this season. Meanwhile Patrick Ewing can't come close to getting a chance, so dumb.

Ewing has for sure paid his dues and has gotten endorsements from some pretty respectable people in the league. What is it that was so appealing about Kidd? He doesn't do x's and o's, he doesn't have a mark Jackson type presence either...

I know its early but I call complete flop.

I don't think anything is appealing about Kidd. He wasn't a vocal leader when he played either. The Nets made quite possibly the worst coaching hire in the history of the NBA. For some reason people thought a bunch of old players and a coach with absolutely zero experience could challenge for a title. Whatever :roll:

The thing about the nets is Deron Williams is never going to win you anything, he's like the pg version of Melo.

Depends on if they remove the meniscus or just try to repair it.

Well, some guys choose to sit out even after they're cleared to play.

Zeke wasn't the worst coach ever. He was maybe the worst GM. Had his moments in the draft though.

Oh no doubt. But from the standpoint of trying to win championships it's not a good signing.
