Because K Mart and Keith Van Horn were injured, Stephon Marbury only played a total of 16 games with them and Kittles in the lineup.Look at those names. Young and Inexperienced, just like I said. The end result? Jason Kidd made them seem better than they were.
K-Mart was a nonfactor at Denver, with no real PG to set him up, he couldn't create his own shot. He was tailor made to play alongside Kidd.
RJ was a Rookie or in his 2nd Season, but he wasn't seen as some Gamechanger or potential All-Star either.
Keith Van Horne - known for the Tim Thomas Trade
Kittles - Kidd took away his pressure to having to perform.
Look at the Season before, you think a Lucious Harris lead team is going to be vying for Playoff Contention
They would have been better off with old man Sam Cassell.
I mixed the game up with another one. My mistake... but Sonned? The Nets were up 3 Games to 2 that Series, but the Pistons turned the heat up Defensively on them even more the last Two Games. They were the better team that year, and went on to embarrass the Lakers in the Finals.
And you throwing out Rodney Rodgers name like he was a 2nd or 3rd Option
The following year when Jason Kidd joined the team, he played a total of 66 games with them in the lineup. So it had a lot to do with those players named being healthy regardless of your lazy labeling of those players
