I wonder when the fire Kidd talk starts?

Dudes sole message in camp was defensive accountability and we’ve just let the second team in a row score a most 60% against us while losing the rebounding battle by a combined 23 rebounds.

That ain’t defense and that ain’t accountability. Last year we were occasionally watchable. This year even when they pull a lead like they did with the Clippers, they throw it away.

I'm not firing Kidd because he inherited a stale roster to begin with...

Let's not forget this roster blew a 2-0 lead to the Clippers and shot terrible after the 1st two games of that series.

This is just a continuation of how they closed out last season and when the FO (Mark Cuban) decided that THJ was going to get paid as opposed to allocating that money elsewhere we knew this team wasn't going to be any better.

We can't stop dribble penetration but hey it's been that way for years long before Kidd arrived. DFS still remains the only serviceable wing defender on the entire roster which is unbelievable when you think about it.

So it's not Kidd fault it's Cuban's loyalty to the guys who were here prior to Kidd arriving and they have already reached their peak and yet he continues to try and get every ounce of them that he can.

RC took over a much more talented Indiana team and yet he's been a failure. But then now we are seeing RC operate without the likes of Dirk or Luka to make him look like a so called top 5 NBA coach

What's weird is the basic same thing happened last season. Team started off playing defense, and then just gave up on it.

I was totally on board with starting off this season committed to defense knowing the offense would take a hit until everyone adapted.

Now defense is off the board again just like last season.

Why did two coaches do basically the exact same thing two seasons in a row?
