Jason Kidd picked up a flagrant-2 foul with 7:16 left in the fourth quarter and the Mavericks down 16 points to the Hornets at home. Kidd went up to defend against Jannero Pargo's drive to the hoop, and originally appeared to be defending the basket as casually as possible, until he wrapped his palm around Pargo's neck and didn't let go until Pargo hit the floor.
Kidd hung around by Cuban at the end of the entranceway to the locker room before heading out as the refs did a review to see whether it should be a FF2 or not, and uh, after you watch that sucker in full slow replay, it most definitely should. I bet Devin Harris wouldn't have done that.
Seriously though, that's a pretty bad time for the veteran/experienced point guard to get ejected because he's frustrated. I get that you're down 15 or so with not much time left, but it's the playoffs, Kidd. Back against the wall and what-not. Come on, man. Oh yeah, and that more or less accurately represents Dallas' collective understanding that this series is ov-ah.

1. Hell of a pass by Chris Paul.
Kidd would have been alright if he had just used his body to give a hard foul. Once you start grabbing, tackling or throwing guys around with your arms, you're done.

2. Jason Kidd should have been banned from the league ... he is a snake ... no way was he going for the ball.
When things don't go his way his true nature comes out, whether he is backstabbing a coach (who took the team to two finals), bailing on his team because the are losing, or committing a flagrant foul when he is being out placed.
He is a poor sportsman at least and a snake at best.
