<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jason Kidd went against orders last night, and the only question is why he received those orders in the first place. Situation: Nets up one -- by the final margin, actually, 95-94 -- with the Bobcats out of timeouts, and Kidd at the line for two with 1.7 seconds to play. He missed the first, and then called for a conference. "I asked the bench if I should (miss it on purpose), and they were all like, 'No,'" Kidd said. "So I took it upon myself to miss it (anyway)."</div> http://www.nj.com/nets/ledger/index.ssf?/b...9580.xml&coll=1 Weird....
I think the rationale is that if he misses....the clock runs when the ball is touched..and after a missed free throw a rebound will be fumbled after by both teams..therefore running the clock down while the rebound still isn't secrue...meaning the clock runs out before the rebound is taken OR the rebound is taken and a long shot is heaved....whereas if he made the free throw they can pull a Grant Hill off the make
I dunno exactly the situation, but from the looks of it, I see nothing wrong with what he did. Hey, it worked, evidently, right?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Drake Remoray:</div><div class="quote_post">I didn't see the shot, but maybe the miss wasn't on purpose?</div> You don't understand the situation, obviously. It was the right thing to do. Anybody with a decent basketball IQ knows that. The Nets bench is dumb.
