Jason Kidd didn't have any timeouts left. The Nets needed to stall in order to have some time to draw up a play. Check out the GIF -- Kidd tells guard Tyshawn Taylor to bump into him, causing him to spill his drink on the court, thus giving Brooklyn the time they needed to figure out a play.

 

 

 

So... what do you guys think? Gamesmanship or great strategy?

 

Note: Just imagine if the Nets would have won this game on the play that Kidd drew up because of the 'Cola Time Out'.

Kidd has always been one of those guys that knows how to get the most out of everything he does.  He thinks of things that no one else would in certain situations...  Just hyper-aware of everything and any and every possible advantage he can gain over an opponent, and this is just another example...

 

If I recall correctly, I was once watching a game where JKidd ran up court as the other team was expecting a timeout, he dribbles across mid-court, starts his way over to the ref while keeping his dribble, all the other players start walking off the court anticipating the timeout, and Kidd quickly dribbles away and cuts to the basket for an easy layup, lol...

 

Another time, I think it was when he was with the Mavs, early on in his second stint with them, and I believe it was when Mike Woodson was a coach with the Hawks still...  Woodson was mad about something IIRC, and he stepped out on the court to protest, so JKidd took the ball and dribbled full-speed into Woodson before he could get off the court, and IMMEDIATELY flailed as though he just hit a brick wall and told the ref he had to call something, lol...

 

I think it's funny.  Smart move he you can get away with it.  But, the league KNOWS JKidd, so he just lost 50k, lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
