Who cares what Kidd is asking the team to do might be outside their comfort zone and capabilities? The offense that everyone is lamenting over was a soft offense. It was never going to translate well as the team moved deeper into the playoffs.
Do we want some simple pleasures in the regular season or have the team playing a style that is better in the long run? Was the triangle really the best offense to build around MJ? Systems generally cater to the team as a whole with the stud also getting their chances. As Phil said though all systems are meant for 3 quarters. In the 4th the stars will take over. Last year Luka noticeably got tired in the 4th in the playoffs. We have to try something different.
Yes we may not have the personnel to run either of these options, but at least this keeps Luka a bit fresher. It also hopefully instills in him a discipline that everything need not run through him every time he is on the court. In the 4th? Yes. Don’t need that every single possession he is on the court.
