Avery benching JKidd

[LocoGringos]

You could sit Josh. Or you could sit Damp. Or you could sit the guy who knows 20% of the playbook, if that, and has had little time to practice the team's inbound set plays.

Dallas and Phoenix are going through tough adjustment periods with their new acquisitions. But people forget that they Kidd and Shaq were not brought in to inflate regular season records. They were brought in to compete for championships. Give it a month to gel and by playoff time thats when these true players begin to shine and will be relied on. I am not going to get upset over one regular season game. Lets move on...

What was Avery's rationale? Did he explain himself?

 

[Horn69]

After Spurs game he said it was "to get the shooters on the floor." Last night at Kings game he said he stood by his decision

saying he wanted 3-point shooters on the floor. He also said that Kidd's lack of aggressiveness against SA was part of the reason he sat him at the end of the game.

So, he benched his star player in crunch time for not being aggressive? Bizarro. I still think he should admit he screwed up, but guess he's not thinking there was any mistake.

Hook'em!!!
