NEW YORK -- Don't know what you were thinking, but when the Nets were peeling in layers during the fourth quarter on Sunday -- when the Spurs reeled off 19 straight points and their opponents lost their composure and suffered from severe iron proficiency due to chaotic choreography -- but it seemed to me New Jersey could use a poised point guard; Jason Kidd often looked shockingly ordinary throughout The Finals, chiefly against a zone defense in the final quarters of Games 5 & 6.
Still, Kidd's the best thing the Nets have going for them. And if you're one of their fans, nothing he said after Tim Duncan seized his second championship in six NBA seasons cheered you up regarding his future in the Garden State.
In fact, everything out of his mouth was downright discouraging and his body language cast an even gloomier spell.
