Jason Kidd Spills his drink...

Does anyone else think he did that intentionally to mess up Meeks' free throw rhythm? ? The whole thing looked staged...

Ofcourse he did, he can be seen mouthing the words 'hit me'... great player, out of his depth with antics like this at the coaching level. Reminds me of something Radford would've done!

Same guy that deliberately ran into an opposition coach to gain a tech foul.

He'd run out of time outs and left his assistant to deliver instructions. Because it wasn't an official timeout, the Lakers simply listened in!

NEW YORK: Brooklyn Nets coach Jason Kidd was fined $US50,000 ($A55,000) by the NBA on Thursday for deliberately spilling a cup of soda on the court as a delaying tactic to halt a game.

The move came in the last seconds of a 99-94 home loss on Wednesday to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kidd denied the spill was intentional, but television replays show Kidd saying "hit me" to Tyshawn Taylor as the Nets guard was walking toward him with 8.3 seconds remaining and Brooklyn out of timeouts.

Taylor bumped his coach and Kidd spilled the drink on the floor.

Intentional or not, the delay worked to Brooklyn's benefit by giving Kidd time to draw up a final play in hopes of scoring - but the play didn't work and the Nets lost.

"Cup slipped out of my hand ... sweaty palms," Kidd said.

"In the heat of the battle, you're trying to get guys in and out of the game and the cup fell out of my hand."

Despite video replays showing Kidd clearly mouthing his instructions, Taylor also denied the deliberate nature of the delay tactic.

"I wasn't paying attention, I just kind of bumped him ... I was just coming out, and he was in my way," Taylor said.
