Nets’ Kirilenko’s wife slams Jason Kidd for benching husband

When the Brooklyn Nets’ Russian forward Andrei Kirilenko was benched by coach Jason Kidd during his team’s playoff opener against the Raptors, Kirilenko’s wife, pop star Masha Lopatova, lashed out Saturday by posting a pic of her hubby riding the pine with the snarky caption, “And you are Kidding like Jason.”

But the lack of playing time during the Nets’ win didn’t dampen the couple’s spirits much.

The next night, sassy songstress Masha and giant Kirilenko were seen at Simon Hammerstein’s Diamond Horseshoe at the Paramount Hotel, dining and taking in racy show “Queen of the Night.”

A spy said the couple met with house chef Jason Kallert before they took their front-row seats at the show.

Lopatova has reportedly said she allows her husband to engage in a night of passion with another woman one night per year, explaining, “It’s the same way raising children — if I tell my child, ‘No pizza’…what does he want more than anything? Pizza!” But Kirilenko, who’s been wed to Lopatova 13 years, seemed very much by her side on Sunday.
