Thoughts on JKidd coaching now?

[roffie]

i remember at the start of the season ppl on ISH were saying how bad he is.. but now nets are on a positive record was wondering what ppl thinks now?

i don't watch any of the nets games so i'm curious if its just good team chemistry or coaching.. etc:biggums:

[CelticBaller]

changed my opinion on him

[Smook A.]

He's not that bad actually.

I think the main reason why the Nets were struggling at the start of the season was because of chemistry issues. Now, I think the team finally knows eachother

[JohnFreeman]

I thought it was chemistry issues, not his coaching.

yea but im pretty sure on ISH everyone was saying FIRE KIDD FIRE KIDD

[Clyde]

I thought it was chemistry issues, not his coaching.

agreed.

That was basically an entirely new team.

[Akrazotile]

yea but im pretty sure on ISH everyone was saying FIRE KIDD FIRE KIDD


Everyone was.

But you wont find them in this thread now.

[mattvNJ]

well i mean is it hard to believe people not wanting a rookie coach to coach a team that is in win now mode? With players at the end of their careers and a ton of money on the line. Threads like this are subjective and using hindsight. The team initial looked like a disaster but they have too much veteran talent to not figure out how to become atleast solid. Still wish they went with lionel, and have kidd as the assistant for a year or two.

you cant stop a genius from doing what he does

Nets are winning despite of Kidd. His rotations are still awful, forced minutes constrains costed some games, tactics after times outs and closing the games are bad too.

On the positive side Kidd is learning, but still that only means improvement from by far the worst coach in NBA to below average. Imagine if Pops would have a hand on so much talent? :eek: Better record than Spurs, seriously.

[tpols]

Most of the offensive 'sets' are just isos with mismatches.. whether its livingston on a shorter PG, dwill on a big man after a switch, JJ on a skinny SG etc They just look for mismatches and swing when help comes and score if it doesnt. There really doesnt look like there's much to it.

[SexSymbol]

He still sucks, if the Nets doesn't advance past second round, fire him

[Yankstar]

He is learning. Don't hate on a a rookie coach :biggums:

He's learning his craft. No reason to fire him now but he started badly, and his lack of experience was why I didn't think it was a good hire at the start of the season.

[niko]

At the time I thought it was ridiculous how much blame he got for essentially learning his job and his team being old and slow. He's done a good job, but he's getting way too much credit now, in the playoffs their "system" is going to get badly exposed. (They can't rebound, and rely heavily on Livingston, who against Chicago especially is going to be schemed out by playng zone off him.)

He seems like he's developing into a good coach which is the point of a rookie hire. The Nets wanted him to lead a title contender, but they got a lot wrong about that.

I don't get it... is seeking out and exploiting mismatches a bad thing?

but that's the great thing about them.
it's the easiest way to get points and given this is only their 1st season together it's what they should be doing.
kidd's done a great job to get them to exploit every mismatch esp going through livingston.

[I<3NBA]

they removed Lawrence Frank. the team got good. saboteur exposed.
