Avery Johnson was not a good coach but at least he helped change the culture and brought a defensive focus from the Nellie years. And Avery also encouraged Dirk to become more aggressive with the ball instead of just a shooter.
This has been a waste of 3 years, with a fluke WCF run where most of the key contributors on that team aren't even here anymore.
The Western Conference finals run wasn’t a fluke, it was the culmination of what Carlisle had been building. Cool guy Jason Kidd Deserves some credit for motivating the team to reach its potential, and I suppose he also deserves some credit for ditching his plan to re-create the bubble Lakers about halfway through the season and going back to what Carlisle had designed the team to do… But that was Carlisle’s offense that got to the Western Conference finals.
What we’ve seen these past two years… That’s Jason Kidd.
