Would someone have a point if they started a thread stating that Dirk couldn't lead a team to the title because he doesn't play good enough defense? Because that's the type of point Bathouse was making.

Jason Kidd had a bad series, no doubt. And we're starting to have work leak out that might help explain why he did. But over the course of the season, Jason Kidd was a MAJOR driving force behind this team and their 55 wins.

You can obviously pick apart his faults and point to what he doesn't do, as you can with every player, but unless your position is that the Mavs need a top 5 PG in the NBA to compete, complaining about Jason Kidd is a waste of time. He's one of the positives on this team, not one of the problems.
