Tyshawn Taylor involved in Soda Flop

Down two and without a timeout, Jason Kidd was desperate to talk to his team to draw up a play for the final possession.

That’s when Jason Kidd told Tyshawn Taylor “hit me.”

Kidd, who was holding a cup of soda and ice, dropped said cup and allowed a chance for the Nets to draw up a play for Paul Pierce.

More from The Brooklyn Game:

Kidd, who enjoyed a can of Coca-Cola at his postgame press conference, was coy about his move, not acknowledging his words.

“Cup slipped out of my hand I was getting Ty,” Kidd said. “Sweaty palms. I was never good with the ball.”

“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.”

Sure thing, coach.

Taylor also denied that the spill was intentional. “Naw, I wasn’t paying attention,” Taylor said after the game. “I didn’t even know he was holding nothing. Like, coach is drinking soda on the sidelines! I’m like ‘What? What you doing?'”

Taylor acknowledged the benefit of the “accidental” spill. “It might ice a free throw shooter and be a time-out when you don’t have one, but that wasn’t the thought process. I was just coming out and he was in my way.”

He then laughed. “‘Coach, get out my way, bro.'”
