Jason Kidd Is Ejected Along with Dallas' Chances to Win

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.
