Apologize to Coach Rick

[mavsluvr]

The jury is out on [Kidd's] long-term fit, but in the short-term he isn't RC which goes a long way in and of itself (and we have seen that in the body language as well as the comments of the players, they are digging the change as of now).

Followill and Dameris talked about this a little on their pod. 


They were speaking ironically, in the context of the team not looking very good (at least at this point). The were saying that, ironically, this is what Luka and KP wanted -- a "cool coach." But at the end of the day, the point of being an NBA player is not to have a high old time at the frat house. If the players like him, but they don't play well, that doesn't count as a success. 

I don't understand you to be saying anything different. I think you are saying that it was time for a change, and that seems reasonable. But sometimes I get the sense from your postings that the best way to make Kidd look good is to compare him to that massive pile of coaching trash Rick Carlisle. I don't believe that is really what you intend, but ultimately I think we agree that Kidd needs to come up with a better way to justify his existence than throwing Carlisle under the bus. 

Not saying he won't. I hope he does!
