The J.Kidd is (a) great (coach) thread.

I despised the Kidd hire at first. I thought he was a proven failure as a HC and Cuban was pulling a Jerry Jones and just hiring someone he liked.

But goddamn if Kidd hasn't done a hell of a job this year. Seriously, beyond my wildest expectations. I'm still tempering my long term expectations, because we've seen coaches have a great year or two and then flame out fast. There was a time when we all thought Avery Johnson was the next great, legendary coach.

But credit where it's due. Jason Kidd has been fantastic so far.

I think the more level headed reality is that there just aren't many good coaches right now. I mean, my god, Sacramento just hired Mike Brown. It was between him and Mark Jackson. Yikes. And who knows who the Lakers will hire.

We got lucky.
