Kidd is being reported as the next Nets coach. A strange appointment IMO considering the other coaches who are/may be available.

Wouldn't be that bad a decision to hire him as coach, gives the fan a favorite and it'll buy them some time even if things don't work out immediately. And you've to have some brains to be an elite PG in the NBA, so you'll know the offense will be decent at the very least.
At the very least, he's got the credibility to tell Deron to zip it and tell him how to play instead of bitching about how the coach doesn't know how to use him properly.

Kidd's hiring has disaster written all over it. This owner hasn't a club how to run a basketball club.
I'm assuming his ensemble of assistant coaches will be able to assist and guide Kidd on the coaching aspects he'll be new to, but in terms of drawing up plays and schemes, he's one of the most cerebral point guards to ever play the game, so he'll have no problem doing that.
Maybe he'll be able to utilize D Will and Joe Johnson better. I remember a time when D Will was second to Chris Paul as the best point guard in the NBA, so the talent is there.

Really looking forward to game 4. Miami have to win and LeBron has to dominate. Will be interesting how restricted Parker is and how that impacts the Spurs. Should be a closer game than the last 2.
The Spurs have started well. Like I said if they win two in San Antonio this series is over, no way they get two chances to close out and they don't take one.
It's Dallas all over again (2011 that is). San Antonio's incredible record in the finals (4-0) and their record against James in the previous series (4-0) gave a clear indication about how this matchup will be going..
Miami lost the series in the first game. San Antonio came a bit rusty, Miami were more in the rhythm and they should have taken advantage of that. They didn't, they lost game 1, and I don't think they're going to win in San Antonio..
Oh ye of little faith.
Parker's hamstring strain may tip this series towards the Heat, and they have the talent to capitalize.

With the way he started this game I actually wish he didn't have that strain..
Lebron has lost total faith in his jumpshot which he has shot so well all year. But when he mixes it up with layups he scores them.
FFS Splitter is getting ever his shot blocked every time.
Wade playing like he's got something to prove.
The Spurs are playing Wade like he has something to prove. Such as the ability to hit a jump shot. They're backing off of him like he is Ben Wallace.
This Parker bloke is pretty good.
Yeah, good thing he's having a strain eh?
I think James and Wade are done with the penetrations now. Jump shots all second half!
Nice dunk by Bosh. Would have been nice if he had 10 seconds for the move and the dunk instead of 3.. It would have counted!

This fella on Sky keeps talking about something called Manball.
MAN-BALL
man-ball, ball-game, game-time, time-machine, machine-language.....
I think Bosh will be traded this Summer..
Who wants to pay $20 million for a stretch four that can't rebound or defend?
Hey if Bynum can be traded, anybody can be!
A healthy Bynum is a top 5 centre. A presence on Both ends.
p.s great game so far. If Duncan or Ginobli step up Spurs will win. Vintage game from Parker.
Healthy is the crucial word.
That 3 from Neal 
Calling a Miami win now.
I'm calling Green 3, Neal 3, Green 3, Neal 3, Green 3, Neal 3, Parker for the win!!
Splitter will feck it.
Nice anti-jinx
Wade is such a troll these days.
Yeah but thats why he will get 20 million. Bosh is a 20 pts 10 rebound guy as the first option but thus stay in Miami has taken the shine off him.
Who are these lads that SA have thrown on now? Did they win a competition?
Wade carried them what a great throwback game from him. Interesting series. Next game is the biggest for me.
Yeah don't say that word around Amare Stoudemire, or any Knicks fans for that matter.
Superb performance by D. Wade today providing the spark that Miami needed to rebound from that humiliating game 3 showing. His early resolute approach along with Lebron's aggressive drives to the basket set the tone for the entire match. Miami's quick and intense defense proved to be too overwhelming for the Spurs to handle, negating much of San Antonio's previously successful threat from dangerous three point shots by the likes of Green and Neal. Although Parker played very well in the first half, he faded visibly in the second half possibly due to aggravating the effects of the hamstring strain. If the Heat play with the same type of urgency and defensive cohesion in the upcoming fixtures, then I expect the series to end in game six.
LeBron needed to pull his finger out and get aggressive. I heard that (prior to this game) he has more free-throw attempts in any on of his playoff games last season compared to the total he had amassed in the first three games. That's not good enough for someone like him, he was playing timid and it showed.
Amazing game from the Heat, especially getting embarrassed in game 3. Can't see them losing it now.
People have been saying the same thing for a while now. Every time heat win they follow that up with a loss. But this time I think they will win game 5...they wouldn't want game 6 to be an elimination match.
Whoever wins game 5 will take the series now. I'll stick with my prediction that the Spurs will win in 6, however I think Miami will be the eventual winners.
