[Grant Afseth] Jason Kidd on frequently using small lineups against the Celtics: “Yeah, just understanding that they have struggled against playing small. If your bigs cannot guard the perimeter, it will be a shootaround for them. So we felt comfortable going small.”

Basketball terrorist at his finest.
This mfer has to be watching a different game, be on LSD or shrooms. I hate Stephen A Smith. But get off the damn WEEEEEEEEEAD KIDD.
FUCK YOU BITCH
#KiddGottaGo
Yeah Kidd, because Maxi was able to stop them with his blocks and… Oh wait.
Good thing it wasn’t a shootaround anyway.
[What a stupid son of a bitch](https://imgur.com/a/0xHd6Ju)
It’s gonna be ugly watching this dude in the playoffs try and out-coach someone who’s legit and not Monty Williams. Finch, Malone or Ty Lue would run circles around this mf
Maybe do something you *aren’t* comfortable with? Being comfortable doesn’t yield results.
Does Kidd know they shot 49% from 3 anyway?
WE FELT?
You maybe. WE DEFINITELY NOT.
What a stupid mfer
I didn’t felt shit you bald farud
Midd is a certified dumbass
Who gives a flying fuckkkk if maxi can guard the perimeter when 7 foot kristaps is shooting the ball!!!! Nobody in the league can guard a seven footer who can shoot from three so stop running small ball you bald headed idiot.
Jason Kidd has poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague upon our houses
We were more competitive with a traditional big tonight
This guy is an idiot. The team can be making a great run and he’ll find a way to short circuit it. He’s an imbecile.
Literally not watching the same game – We made runs with lively in, not going small – Just horrendous coaching and of course, putting THJ in once we clawed back into the game
WTF
This is absolute insanity.
Piss poor management by JKidd. He has only ever outcoached one other coach in this league and that is Monty Williams. Dude is a certified fraud who should never be higher than an assistant coach at the MOST.
Yea because maxi looked better than lively surely…
Your a fucking loser
Just gotta wonder when enough is enough. This man is actively hurting us
I hope Nico does his job well and Cuban to back off on this one. Our coach needs to be replaced that will maximize this team’s potential.
Like, isn’t Budenholzer available?? What are we doing with guy??
So basically this dude has some idea before a game and no matter how his plan is working out in real life during the actual game he just goes with whatever he decided beforehand no matter what.
What a useless piece of trash.
Luka, please leave. Clearly Nico won’t fire Kidd, so you have no other choice. Don’t be Dirk.
My guy makes a plan before the game and cant make a single adjustment during it, we saw the same vs pacers where Carlisle conpletely killed him tactically…
Pretty sure Celts kryptonite is teams like the Magic who trot out a bunch of bigs against them
Is this on his stubbornness to adjust or scout reports’
Luka better be gone. He is wasted on Dallas.
It’s mostly about doing hit way where he gets the credit and not nico. All ego and unwillingness to admit errors. It’s always been this way w kidd. From the French fry situation. Driving drunk. Toni Braxton and the 3js. Getting multiple coaches canned. Bailing on the mavs after the 11 title. Larry sanders situation w the bucks. Etc
Dereck Lively can guard the perimeter this is terrorism
he’s a fucking moron.
He’s doc rivers but worse.
I understand why that was the plan, but Lively and Gafford played really good and small ball wasn’t working. Sometimes you have to adapt, but Kidd is always just sticking with the plan.
Dallas traded away a 1st for Gafford so that he could play 6 mins tonight.
