Maybe this dumbass will finally have his team ready to play without Kawhi Leonard suiting up after losing twice without him in the lineup.
You needed a fucking stop at the end to even have a chance offensively
Okay you joke of a coach
Spacing over rebounding and defense… 
With this type of coaching and Luka playing like shit…. I dunno, man.
Space the floor for what reason exactly? It doesn’t matter to space the floor if harden is getting a easy layup 6 possessions in a row
He hit a whopping 1 3 while not being guarded at all
“2s hurt us but 3s kill us […] when harden is taking 2s it’s better than when he’s making stepback 3s”
??? does he have dementia what does this even mean. give me 6 harden stepback 3s over 6 wide open floaters what the hell. giving up wide open 2s out of fear of them making contested 3s
nonsensical and frankly infuriating answer from kidd, can’t believe what i’m hearing. come back from 31 points with bigs on the floor but all of a sudden trying to convince us small ball was the only option in the last 10 minutes when we took the lead back
edit : he added “we took away the 3 but you gotta give something back, we gave up contested 2s and they made them”. literally gaslighting us into thinking those 2s were contested lmao
Even when we went 16-2 during that run I still knew Kidd was ass.
offensively kyrie is more than enough so you need rim protection instead of spacing lol,
You were down 31 and it was the D that got you the fucking lead. Protect the paint at all cost you a-hole! Floor spacing wasn’t an issue period.
Literally so predictable, never takes accountability when his strategy is obviously not working
STFU BITCH. Dude hit whooping 1 3pointer, that’s all. I would rather have a bad ft shooter Lively out there, at least he’ll give us paint presence out there (something that bring us back in this game). Just admit it, Ty Lue bait you to go small and you stupidly play along with it.
Basketball terrorist
Fucking genius. Gave Harden all the space on the floor
It’s the same excuse over and over again with this guy
He made 1 theee and the opponent made 7 layups u moron
This dumbass is black or white on everything. You need spacing to help you catch up. Once you’re caught up you need rim protecting especially when they’re killing you inside over and over and over and over AND the man guarding the ball handler has five fouls. It’s either or with this guy.
I’d honestly be happy with losing this series if it meant this dumbass got fired.
This dumbass watched Harden shoot floater by floater in the paint with no contest by Maxi and thought yeah this is working, fucking hell what an idiot
He scored 3 points.
You don’t space and stretch the floor when you’re scared to shoot, shoot below average % from 3 on which are mostly wide open jumpers, and only take an average of 3 total shots a game.
That is literally definitions of an offensively liability. Not a floor stretcher. This isn’t even taking into account he struggles to guard faster ball handlers or bigs in the post quite a bit for a 6’10” forward.
Well that’s kinda obvious, if you’re going with kleber over lively or gafford then it’s because of how he spaces the floor, we needed a better reason than that
God damn annoying ass mf. NEWSFLASH just because you played in the pros doesn’t mean you’d make a good coach!!!
Ah yes. Space the floor with 3 points production. What a buffoon
Man. I get where he is coming from but I would have had to do more subbing offense and defense with Maxi and Lively. I thought Lively played really well on defense not just in the paint but on the perimeter. His mobility might have helped switch Luka off the ball more
I hate kid lol
We just make a historic comeback down 31 with having one of lively or gafford on the floor. Then you go away from that in the fourth for spacing?
This is so dumb. Stick with what was working
Mfer thinks he has Dirk out there to space the floor lmao this team is fucking doomed with Kidd. Watch his ass go small ball again in game 5 just to blow that game away too smfh Kidd is my favorite PG of all time, but as a Head Coach I can’t stand him half the time. He literally went away from what got the Mavs back into the FUCKING game smfh.
No way he’s dumb enough to believe this
We had zero rim protection at the end of the game
Also, maxi doesnt even shoot the ball. Like ever
Worst coach in the league. Knew all along he would be our downfall. He said we need to get bigger n better defensively. So he sits both centers in 4Q n defense falls apart. It’s hard to be that stupid. Please get us a real coach.
