It will be fascinating how things play out. We will really get a glimpse of the front office this offseason too. I thought right up to the Charlotte games that there was a 99% chance Kidd is back. Now? I can't explain the last two games. I think even if we lost in the playin game or missed the playoffs by a game, they could create a story for bringing back Kidd (not saying I would agree with it). But the Charlotte losses makes this really tough.
I was already thinking how they would answer the disappointing season. Both of our stars were hurt and they didn't play much together. Almost all of our losses were close and excruciating endings. Just bad luck. At the end of the season, the dam broke and the team was just exhausted. ETC. I think this was how they were going to answer this season. But losing twice to a depleted and bad team? It is tough to try to sell this story now.
