The more I see of this kind of thing the more I realize they must have beat the Lakers in the postseason.

There's some truth to that but there's also some truth to OKC being flopping masters and the refs falling for it.

But I guess we've got to respect it. If they can use it to their advantage, smart of them to take advantage. Like they say in baseball, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying."

SGA takes a lot of contact man. Hand and forearm checking, holding, body contact when he’s driving… A lot, because that is the only way you can slow him down, at least a little bit.

And it’s gotten worse since guys like you started complaining about how many free throws he gets.

It sucks watching the best player on the planet getting mugged every game in these playoffs.

I guess referees aren't the only ones fooled by flopping.

Jason Kidd was a good coach for the Mavericks until the franchise made a lot of lame moves.

 

[Superbone]

Fried! I mean….fired!

He wanted out of that one horse town anyway.

 

[Phrazbit]

This is now the third time that Jason Kidd has engaged in a behind-the-scenes power struggle, trying to take control of a front office and every time it’s gotten him fired from being the head coach.

Funny stuff, he just doesn’t learn.

Spurs assistant Sean Sweeney is expected to draw serious interest from the Mavericks after they parted ways with Jason Kidd, league sources told @ClutchPoints.

Dallas is also expected to reach out to Duke HC Jon Scheyer, but he is committed to his current position, sources said.

Kidd is an all time snake.

That doesn't make sense as he will definitely want a fat paycheck and they wanted a bargain.
