The Nets situation at point guard this season gets more interesting after every passing day. First, Marcus Williams gets injured and is out at least a month. Then the team signs Darrell Armstrong. Now, it looks like Jason Kidd may miss some time with a back injury.

However what makes this situation a juicy one is that Kidd may face disciplinary actions from the NBA if he gets in trouble for playing naughty touch with a female waitress in Manhattan two weeks ago. If that is the case, Armstrong may be the Nets opening night point guard. If this was eight or nine years ago, during Armstrong’s apex, it wouldn’t be too big of a deal, but as of now, the Nets have to be concerned.

I’m pretty sure that if he gets to play 30 minutes a game, he could play a decent game and help the Nets, but in all honesty, I have my doubts. It’s been four years since he’s gotten more than 25 minutes a game of playing time and even then he only averaged 10 points a  game. On top of that, he’s not the passer Kidd is.

That creates some serious holes in the Nets offense if Kidd can’t get himself together physically and criminally by opening night.

With that being said, my question to Jason Kidd is this: Why were you out at 2:30 in the morning when you had practice in a few hours? Aren’t you paid millions of dollars to take care of yourself and be a pivotal member of a team people expect to win games? What kind of message are you sending to the rest of your team when you can’t even do the right thing off the court?

The touching of the waitress is the cherry on top of the sundae of shame for Kidd. Just when you thought Stephon Marbury was the only true sexual predator on an NBA team in the tri-state area, Kidd, who according to the Smoking Gun (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0110071jasonkidd1.html) was been arrested for domestic violence in the past, adds another nice notch to his belt.

Great job Jason, keep it up. I’m sure all the kids walking around with your jerseys on their backs will jump for joy when they all hear this.

That has nothing to do with Kidd’s game though. Despite all of this, Kidd is still a great point guard that the Nets need in the lineup in order to make the playoffs this season.

If he’s healthy and can’t play because he’s too busy committing flagrant fouls off the court, Nets fans will have plenty of reason to be pissed off.
