He spent most of his time during the Celtics big 2nd quarter run complaining and not getting back on defense. Played a terrible quarters 2-4. Quite on his team with stupid, frustration fouls down the stretch. That was just the worst. And the biggest game of his career. In this instance the criticism he gets will be justified.
Kidd was even worse. I’ve never seen a more idiotically coached game on the finals. If he doesn’t understand who is best 8 are by now for this series, it’s hopeless. He needs to be a culture building figurehead.
I think that is the thing though. No one stepped up for the moment. He was trying to find anyone who could score. All year a lot of guys stepped up. No one has in the finals. Need to give the Celtics credit though. But Kids playing a big rotation was just looking for anyone to join the party. I would have closed with Exum over Hardaway but old habits die hard
