DP and Joel has played as well as they can.
But Kidd is handling this badly.
He needs every big he has in the play-offs, ticking off Wood does not help the Mavs cause.
Give him a few minutes more, that's fair.
Again, among the things why Kidd should not be coach.
The biggest part of this is that it is proven that DP is a liability in the playoffs. You play drop defense against the PnR, he's a non factor offensively we are basically playing 4 on 5 on offense. Maxi and Wood are likely the only bigs you can reliably play big minutes throughout the playoffs because they don't kill offensive spacing.
