If he does this again, he is gone.<BR/><BR/>Step two is needed also - They need to let Kidd have the ball in his hands at the end of a game to be a playmaker. Avery went to JET/DIRK pickNroll.<BR/><BR/>I always thought Avery was a great coach but now I am 2nd guessing that.<BR/><BR/>A decision like this cost the Mavs a LOT of momentum, chemistry, and FANs.<BR/>It may just pass (if the Mavs play great and he doesn't do bone-head decisions again) but if he ADMITS he made the wrong call... then his decision will more easily be forgiven.<BR/>Stackhouse as a shooter? He shoots under 40%, forces up shots, and shoots like 29% from 3pts. Kidd is a better 3pt shooter at 36%.<BR/><BR/>Even with Avery's warped logic, it was still the wrong decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870690849133147259.post-52970477915107351192008-02-29T08:56:00.000-06:002008-02-29T08:56:00.000-06:00Freaking Ridiculous...That's the only thought I ca...Freaking Ridiculous...That's the only thought I can put together for Kidd not being in the game at the end.

How ridiculous is it to say in a press conference less than two weeks ago that the reason Kidd is here is to win games down the stretch, and then bench him for the final possession in a two-point game against the defending world champions. You know Cuban was steaming. I'm sure Kidd was both perplexed and irritated. And there's no doubt that Dirk was upset. Avery's attempt to show everyone who's boss not only hurt the Mavs chances of winning the game, but it dealt a serious blow to locker-room chemistry. How can Kidd trust Avery now? What's the rest of the team to think? This is depressing. A divided team has no chance in the playoffs. This is the beginning of the end for Avery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870690849133147259.post-58586294038289121562008-02-28T22:42:00.000-06:002008-02-28T22:42:00.000-06:00I am so pissed with Avery right now.

I'm not saying we would have won if he had been in the game, but I think this decision could have serious locker room repercussions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
