How many triple doubles does it take Jason Kidd to finally ask for a trade? J-Kidd has already 11 triple doubles this season. According to Kidd "There used to be a time where a triple double meant a sure win!" Unfortunately for him it's not like that anymore. Out of the 11 triple doubles he got this season, six were converted into losses. After Sunday’s loss against the leagues worst team Kidd told reporters that he would like to stay with the team and help with the problems their facing. The Nets are indeed in a hole losing their last 9 games. Granted that seven out of the nine were western teams which are up in their game, but with started like Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, and Richard Jefferson a 32 point loss to the Kings is just unacceptable. It was reported last night that Jason Kidd confirmed to ESPN Magazine that he indeed wanted to be traded before NBA's February 21 trading deadline. With a great year thus far, third in the league in APG, can you blame the Nets star for his request? All he wants is his stats to be recognized!
Now, why is it that a team like the nets who have two starters averaging 21 PPG or more, a point guard that any team would love to have in their backcourt, and a conference where 15 games under .500 seems to be a lock for the playoffs is struggling so much? Out of the last nine games the Nets played 8 were against playoff contending teams. The Nets just looking for that spark of momentum against that one big team don't seem to get that big break. This past Sunday’s loss against the Timberwolves pretty much shot them down to the dirt. The T-Wolves scored the game's final 10 points to cap off a 33-15 run. With 9:57 left, Vince Carter's basket in the paint gave the Nets an 80-65 lead. New Jersey suffered a total defensive collapse and made just three shots from that point. Richard Jefferson scored 35 to lead the Nets and Carter had 25 points. Jason Kidd had 11, but none in the fourth quarter. It’s all in the Defense! Games will not and cannot be won without defense!
