Kidd was a smart player

I don't see why he wouldn't adapt with analytics like everyone else

Kidd played in various coaching systems throughout his career. He proved he could excel in both run-and-gun and half-court offenses. If any player could adapt to playing styles/speeds/systems, it was Kidd.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
So you basically don't like conventional point guards. Kidd playmaking & control of the Offense outweighs Lowry shooting ability

I don't like "true PGs" at all, the only exception is Magic because he was a anomaly, everyone else gets the :camby:


I've made threads on it before :yeshrug: I don't think Kidd would be as effective today, part of his legacy is bumped up by going to the finals in what was the worst EC of all time, without those runs yall would be talking about him like Mark Jackson or Rondo.

baby, that was the old me
How you gonna tell me what I said when I can just scroll up :dead:




The Celtics weren't built around him, period. And who gives a fukk about offensive ratings? Teams that have top 10 offensive and defensive ratings typically win titles.

Malta that was a garbage point no offense

But back this the topic. I expected better breh.:upsetfavre:

I know you can't really believe Jason Kidd is worse than Kyle Lowry. Who historically has some of the worst playoff games to ever be played.

Jokes and fan bias aside. Look at the great year he had.

Why would he not be? The numbers speak for themselves:jbhmm:

He has elite rebounding #s among all point guards...trailing only behind Westbrook. 7th in steals. Top in assists. He's undeniably top 10 at his position breh

I thought his numbers from last season were very inflated, mainly by the pace the Kings played at, which like a typical George Karl team was the highest in the league. His 3 point shooting was much improved this season, yes, but his FT shooting was atrocious to point where it made him a liability and it was like that in Boston before he got traded too. His defense is overrated, he plays matador defense trying to gamble for steals and has been skating by on reputation for years. I don't care about his rebounding numbers. If my PG can get boards then that's a nice luxury, but it doesn't make or break my opinion on them. And for all this talk about him being the ultimate floor general, the Kings were the 16th ranked offense this season. Last season without Rondo, they were 16th.

At this point in his career he's a below average starting PG. There's a reason why Boston traded him for backups (at the time) and a late 1st. There's a reason why Dallas let him walk for nothing. There's a reason why the Kings won't commit to bringing him back and have the mindset that he's not even worth getting into a bidding war over.

From 2011 on, the Celtics were Rondo's team. Anybody who followed the Celtics closely around that time can attest to that. Around that time, Pierce, Garnett and Judas were very clearly on the decline whereas Rondo was taking the reins from them and putting up triple doubles for fun in the playoffs.



The second KG fell off that team stunk, that was his team and always was. You're trying to act like they were built around Rondo, they weren't though. We see how he looks without them, he posts numbers that lead nowhere and his teams generally have shytty offenses because of him.

Seeing as how Kidd had a great career in a more Slower pace era I don't see why his numbers wouldn't be better if not as good

Rondo gets numbers :yeshrug:

Would those numbers lead to wins when every team is giving him a cushion? And this is about how he plugs in with what the Raptors roster has on the floor right now, an SG that can't shoot or play off the ball and a Center that has hands made of granite.

The Celtics are my team. I've watched them my entire life and I watched very closely during the Big Three era. Although the team wasn't initially built around him, Rondo by 2011 was running that team. Doc built that team around him and, towards the end of that era, Doc had Pierce and Judas virtually reduced to catch-and-shoot guys. KG was also clearly on the decline. Rondo led that team to the ECF in 2012.

But we can agree to disagree.

Kidd > Lowry.

Take away the two finals years what are the win/loss comparison looking like?

Nah Kidd would have Carrol & Ross looking like borderline All stars. Lowry game actually hurts some of the role players.

Would Kidd lose playing time to Cory Joseph in the playoffs?:usure:
