Jason Kidd Fined 50K For Trying To Cheat

[Lakers+USC=#1]

People are saying it wasn't creative but it actually was. If Kidd does not tell Taylor to hit me, nobody would've thought it was intentional and the league would not be able to fine him because they wouldn't have any proof it was intentional.

Uh, the whole Lakers team and coaches thought it was intentional. Even the commentators thought it was. This was before anybody knew Kidd said "Hit me."

Kidd's best move as coach so far was not spilling the drinks before he could drive drunk. His team would have started 0-2 instaed of 1-1 if not for his suspension.

I'm not disappointed in him at all!! I thought it was great!! Cracked me up when he did that!!

I know different sport but if this was BB and the Patriots you would not be saying this... Everyone would be all over it.

To me (regardless of who the team or coach is) this is completely classless and idiotic! Fine was correct and possibly even a game suspension!

Would you still have been laughing if the Lakers had lost - the only reason the Lakers won is because the Nets missed the shot off of that play

Yes, I still would have laughed. It was great, old school gamesmanship.

I disagree. It couldn't have been less obvious or creative. That wasn't creative in the 50's.

If he wouldn't of looked at the camera and said hit me. He should of turned his shoulder and said it. What gave it away is everyone knew he said what he did.

Actually, I wouldn't. I have nothing against Belichick and the Pats. I thought "Spygate" or whatever they called it was pretty funny too.

He should have down the Tomlin, look back and bump into somebody.

Tomlin needs to be suspended imo, great play by him but still. Just watch the jumbo tron as if there is no way you would not be looking at the actual play.

I watched SC for game highlights and still didn't see that play.

I think it's funny. He was way too obvious, though.

He was doing something that's been done hundred's of times in the past and he got fined $50,000 dollars for it.

You think it's old school gamesmanship to cheat?

The referees really fucked up that call by the way because the Nets or Jason Kidd should have been tagged with a technical foul that would come after Meeks finished his regular foul shot. A technical foul and possession of the ball to the Lakers would have been the absolutely correct call for that kind

Why would they give him a tech when they had no proof at the time that he did it on purpose?

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I thought it was pretty comical, smart move if he could have gotten away with it. All knew a fine was coming.

It's called a delay of game and it can draw a technical

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Kidd didnt fool the Lakers though. They knew right away that it was a fake spill. Meeks laughed and Mike D was yelling at the ref.

The ref's weren't paying attention like they should have - It's funny how everyone that hates the Lakers is laughing about it for the most part, but most of you in here have lost track that could have won the game for the Nets. I really don't think that would have been fair

Life isn't fair.

How weren't they paying attention? They were focus on the court where they're suppose to be looking.
