My intent is not to declare Kidd a bad coach after one game or “romanticize” anything about Carlisle. I am simply comparing the one game of Kidd that we have seen to the factual reality of what we have seen from Carlisle’s offense in the past.
I agree that we should give him time. I also agree that there are things Carlisle didn’t do so well that can be improved upon. But the offensive display we were given last night was 2 to 3 noticeable tiers lower than what we are used to.
Just to show you I’m not on a witchhunt here, I do agree with those who say the defensive effort in the first half was noticeably improved! Especially from Luka and Porzingis. I don’t think buy-in is an issue with this team, currently, at least after one game, and as we’ve discussed all summer that’s at least half of what the coach must achieve.
Hell, some of the things that drove me crazy last night might’ve been players simply not executing the plan correctly. Maybe Kidd was as frustrated as I. Time will tell.
