So who heaps praise on me for picking 3/4 of the conference semi-final winners correctly, including Mavs over Suns? Seriously, why is it that people go out of their way to trash someone when they get something wrong, but NEVER give credit when they get things right?  

I'm not interested in praise or condemnation, it's just people throwing ideas out and having fun. But if you are going to impugn someone for getting something wrong, man up and show respect when they get something right. 

Anyway, did anyone else see the video of Jason Kidd mic'd up on that Game 7? Has anyone ever seen a Head Coach more actively involved in the playing of a game? Usually the coaches mostly observe, but Kidd was almost acting like he was playing the damn game with his callouts on defense. Makes me wonder if this is might be a little overzealous and not exactly proper.

Overzealous?  Look at the results.

Anyway, as a Mavs fan, I was not thrilled with the Kidd hire.  Checkered past, mediocre coaching record, and, worst of all, he went to Cal.  But Kidd has done a fantastic job.  He took the Mavs defense from one of the worst in the league to well above average with little change in the roster.  He made incredible adjustments in the Suns series after the Mavs looked listless on defense in games 1 and 2.  I doubt any coach could have done much better with this Mavs team.

No idea what happens in the conference finals, but I hope the Warriors are looking past the Mavs the way the Suns did...
