Jason kidd must have confused pargo with his wife.

I've never seen Josh Howard play this bad. His mid range game is usually money. I think making those stupid comments about weed use might be affect his game.

Is there any doubt D. Harris would have been able to do a pretty job defending Paul? I'm not saying enough to make a huge difference in the series, but it would have definitely helped.

Avery Johnson needs to go. Mavs need a change in direction.

seriously you guys thought that kidd foul was that bad? flagerant foul 2 and ejection? i thought it was nothing more than a hard foul, that sent pargo down, i only saw 1 angle but from what i saw he went for the ball and got arm but still he finished with the ball....to me that is just typical of what the nba has become these days, it was a hard foul sure but ejection?

LOl the angle u saw must be stupid because he pulled him down from the neck.

If Kidd was even the slightest bit of a scoring threat, this series could be going differently.

Sometimes I wonder why the hell he's even out there. If you're gonna run isolations you may as well put Lue on the court. At least he can catch and shoot a jumper.

Kidd just lost a TON of respect with me. What a cheap-ass foul, and ****ing dangerous to boot.

Yup I agree that was really uncharacteristic of him he had the chance to let go of pargo's head but didnt, he must really be getting fustrated.

He would score more than 3 points

Plus NO has not inside post presence. They don't have a Gasol or Duncan type player that can demand a double on the block, and you can see when Paul is denied penetration how much not having that post presence limits them. They turn into a jump shooting team which can easily be beaten.

Except West has done a very good job against Duncan this season. Popovich has already said in games this season that West was the killer. He'll probably tell his guys to try to get West in foul trouble to get him out of games.
