TAKE DAT WIT YOU 11/4

Good points. I've also thought of this as information gathering for the new coach. If so, then this is a departure from Rick's approach for sure. He appears to be more in favor of doing his info gathering in practice, which I've always kind of defended. To me Kidd seems to be doing something that folks on this forum have wanted for a long time. He's allowing for more development time in game.

I agree with the thought that he won't keep doing the things that don't work. In fact, it looks like he goes more back to what the players are used to when he needs a win. 

At some point Kidd said that he'd know what he has around Christmas. Unless the losses pile up too much, we may see experimentation all the way through December.

I have thought about this a lot. In some ways, this is what many fans have long cried out for. He's finding time for a lot of the players, trying new things, not giving up on something the first time it doesn't work, etc. If we don't like this, maybe we should be careful what we wish for, lol. 

I had the impression listening that these experiments were going to continue for at least 20-30 games before Kidd settles into a more "permanent" strategy.
