You Jason Kidd fans are acting like the San Antonio series was an anomaly when I knew 9 points 6 assists on 30% shooting was all we were gonna get from this guy.......because thats all he has done in the past.
He shot 46% from the field and 45% from three in last year's playoffs. Kidd was good in last year's playoffs. You have no idea what you're talking about.

And Jason Kidd is a quality defender. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't know anything about basketball. He does struggle with quick PG's at times, but he guards SG's very well, and his overall team defense, the flexibility he provides in being able to guard different positions, and his ball hawking combine to make his an asset defensively.

Obviously Kidd would be an even better player if he could provide more pressure offensively. But his ability to hit threes helps make up for that deficiency. Having a deficiency doesn't automatically make you a bad player. Every player has things he doesn't do well. Shawn Marion provides zero offensive pressure of any kind, but he's a big asset because of what he brings defensively. Kidd is no different.
