GAME 67: DAL (34-33) vs. NOP (32-34) | 106-112 loss

[MaxiThreeba]

There’s so many little things that just make no sense.  It’s not that they’re huge swingers on their own merit but it’s a symptom of what a watcher Kidd actually is. 

Things like Bertans playing 5 minutes and they don’t manage to run a single off ball action to get a sniper a shot.  Things like having Frank initiate offense because he has the “mismatch” of the big guarding him…there’s a REASON that’s the matchup they’re using.

This roster is gross…Kidd makes it grosserer!

I would rest Luka in the second half.  The team doesn’t have it tonight.  He is hurting.  But I don’t want to watch isolation Luka ball and then after he misses watch him put his head down and jogs back on defense.  That is loser basketball.  The whole team looks awful but that is terrible on court leadership by your best player.

Luka is doing a good job of showcasing ALL of his flaws that people like to hammer him for…well except people working within the organization.  He’s definitely hurting and it’s just highlighting those moments even more.
