MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[BasketballJones41]

Cato's podcast was an interesting listen this morning.  There's been a lot of chatter about "something going on behind the scenes" on this board and Cato kind of hinted to Jason Kidd being that issue.  It's something that I've been saying on this board and while I go back and forth on a lot of Kamm's posts, he's been saying this basically since the start of the season.

I've never seen this board more in sync around something like "play Wood and Green more" and if a bunch of internet fans all see the same thing because it's so obvious what do you think professional basketball players are thinking about the rotations and head games.  Playing your best players shouldn't be rocket science.  I don't know an NBA coach who has benefited from negging players on his roster and I hope that Kidd wakes up because personally I think this season is still salvageable (I certainly don't think you can tank with this team).  Last year's team had some other caveats obviously like covid and Luka not being all world right out of the gate but the two main things that turned around were the shooting and the defense. That can still very easily be true for this roster but overcoming internal strife over a coach's decision making is the one thing that can make this team totally spiral.

Doesn’t this pretty much mirror what he did at his previous two stops? Have a promising first year and then quickly wear his welcome out? Part of being successful is adaptability and flexibility. And for whatever reason this year he’s completely unwilling to consider anything that doesn’t fit his preconceived bias. After the high of the WCF it took him 19 games to make me miss Rick.
