<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm on Jason Kidd's side. Even though the way he treated the Nets near the end was messed up, he deserves to win. So does Mark Cuban, Jerry Stackhouse, Eddie Jones, Juwan Howard. And if Dirk loses again, I fear he will kill himself.
I love the Hornets, but I don't like Byron Scott. On my 15th birthday, I went to a summer league game in Boston to see LeBron James. The Nets played earlier that day and Scott was there watching the Nets summer roster and I went over and asked him for an autograph. He said to hold on a second, as he was talking to someone. I admit it was rude, but I was 15 and excited to see my favorite team's coach. Once he was done talking to the guy, I asked him again. Then he reamed me out for being rude and interrupting him and he refused to give me an autograph. He's a ****ing dick.
Later that day I met LeBron James and he cheered me up. But Byron Scott is a dick.</div>
A lot of NBA players/coaches are brats like that. Phil Jackson has done much worse things but that's just human nature over there. Don't take it personally, practically everyone you like in professional sports is actually an asshole.
I think Scott received superfluous blame but I don't care about either of them on a team-level.
