That last second 3 by Kidd...you think that had any feeling in that

[Dante]

for what that boston reporter was saying earlier in the week? I do...he did that for that reason...

 

[SurfRat]

Very interesting Dante. Last stab.

 

[go2guy]

I'm happy he did it and it's poetic justice!!! Sending all those drunks home with a sweep on their minds during the off season probably made him feel warm and fuzzy inside!

Bob Ryan is an idiot. The punishment should fit the crime, he should be banned from ESPN FOR LIFE. He knew better than that. As for the Boston Globe, this was conduct outside of his worklife, and their punishment of 1 month may suffice.

If I made a comment like that in my work, I'd be on the f-in street in 2 minutes.

 

[wannamakeabet]

It's actually just Bob Ryan's entire bitter and sour loser attitude, if Tony Kornheiser said that on PTI nobody would have blinked.

 

[lander]

So, it ok for Kidd to beat on JoMamma, but not for Ryan to say she should be slapped

riiiiight.

 

[SPIVE]

I saw NO MEANING in the shot...he missed 2 other attempted 3 pointer's in the first OT when they really would have meant something...he just happened to make the final one because there was no pressure as well as no one guarding him.

Kidd, HAD to shoot the ball based upon the 1 second difference between the shot clock and game clock.

From what I seen tonight, Kidd is a shot choker.

 

[HeywoodJablome]

Spive, they were dribbling out the clock and Kidd called for the ball. Nobody was going to shoot and Boston had surrendered but Kidd called for the ball so he could shoot. It was as classless as Ryan's words.

 

[UncleButternutts]

I loved it

I am also glad to see Boston get their ass handed to them, and knocked out, at home.

 

[ChuckSims]

Classless? The shot clock was at 1 second. Kidd's option was to take a turnover or shoot the ball. He shot the ball like any other player does when the shot clock is about to expire.

 

[Journeyman]

No reason for him not to fire it? Just an observation for someone who may have had money on that shot,,,With so many different ways to wager these days..Its like any situation could have money on it....Even a meaningless # with one second when the game spread wasn`t in question...With props and qtr. bets games always on the line .

 

[HeywoodJablome]

Uncle Butternuts, I was real happy that Boston got swept and any discussion of no-class players has to include Boston and that fatass punk Walker, but Kidd should have just walked off the floor. The scoreboard will do the talking for him. I guess the players talk so much smack these days it just gets into their system and they cant help it. And why is that woman shaking her boobs at me?

 

[UncleButternutts]

Chuck, good point..

Heywood, it's a nervous disorder i think.

 

[HeywoodJablome]

Chuck Sims. so he takes a turnover. He didn't have to ask for the ball, so the other guy would have got the turnover on his stats if that is what you think he was worried about. Boston had quit at 25 seconds left in the game. They made no real effort and they didnt foul. They had quit. NJ turns the ball over with one second and everyone goes home. When the other team surrenders it is a no-class move to take another shot like that, especially calling for the ball so that he can personally take it. The game was over.

 

[Banned4Life]

Anything he can do to stick it to the Boston white trash is fine by me.

 

[HeywoodJablome]

Banned4Life, I am OK with that, too. Can't stand the Celtics or their fans, but if Kidd had just dropped the ball on the floor and walked off ("act like you've been there before"), I just think it would have been more professional. But I am probably too old school for this discussion.

 

[jls626]

There was a line on who will score more, Kidd or Pierce. Before the 3 at the buzzer Kidd had 26 and Pierce had 27, that 3 gave Kidd the lead and win 29-27! Didn't bet it but if I did, would've bet Pierce and been pissed!

 

[cashin]

also we have to remember that many people may have played 5 pt teasers . that also may have screwed them
