Redditors realizing that the HOF PG that has won 3/4 playoff series, currently working on 4/5, none as a heavy favorite, isn’t an awful coach

    He’s actually 4/5 working on 5/6 but 💅🏻

  2. Kidd has been good this playoffs, but being a HOF PG has nothing to do with this.

    Or do you think Nash was a great coach too?

    At this point I’ve just accepted I don’t understand kidd. During the last two regular seasons everything I knew about basketball (admittedly limited) told me he was a bad coach but the results in the postseason are undeniable

    Kidd redemption will feed families. The lack of respect he gets from this sub is crazy considering how important he was in mavs only championship

    oh he has his fucking moments. but he has improved enough where I’m giving him the BOTD. cause now he is hitting quite a bit more than he is missing. but dont make out that critisism wasnt warranted. thats revisionist shit

    People will give credit to Kidd with this exact comment “Kids is a great defensive coach but isn’t great with the X’s and O’s.” This sub’s Kidd haters lineup down the street to upvote this comment into the hundreds. Reality is defensive schemes are almost all X’s and O’s. He’s also phenomenal at drawing up plays in timeouts. He gets very creative in trying to find buckets when the offense is stalling.

    Two things are true. Kidd is a championship caliber coach, and the average fan doesn’t have enough basketball knowledge to make legitimate criticisms of coaches.

    Ofc he missen the pos once
    Sure due tanking and mid season trades but still, with luka
    Same for this season where we where close to a play in spot for most up the season

    But, he let Luka and kyrie play together en got anyone locked in at defence. That’s most important part of his job and that going great

    JKidd a GOAT. He should get some credit for Milwaukee title too.

    I remember after the game when Harden went crazy with the floaters, eveyone here was absolutely killing Kidd for keeping Kleber in the game instead of Gafford or Lively.

    What Luka did to Gobert is why Kidd didn’t want a center getting switched onto Harden.

    i genuinely think im pretty good at nuanced basketball discussion and not falling for all the narrative bs… just i really really thought kidd was an awful coach for the past 2 years. hes convinced me otherwise, absolute playoff riser

    This might be controversial but I don’t think any of us knows a damn thing about whether he’s a good coach or not. It’s very complicated and we’re not in his huddle or his locker room, nor do we have any idea about the intricacies of the issues he’s dealing with on a day to day basis. Because we’re not in those rooms, and even if we were must of us aren’t qualified to pass judgement anyway, I don’t think we can assess thoughtfully. All we can judge is the wins and losses. And he has Luka Doncic. So that’s going pretty well.

    No, he isn’t awful. But he’s not great.
