One thing I found interesting is the stretch (can’t remember when, sorry) when Wood needed a blow…Powell comes in and almost immediately picks up another foul, forcing Kidd to take him out…I thought “uh oh, here comes McGee.”
But no - even when there was a rational reason to give the guy 2-3 minutes, Kidd did not put him in the game. I think Kidd probably deserves a large portion of the blame for McGee being here, but I’m starting to reluctantly award him some credit for pivoting away from the mistake so decisively and absolutely. He’s playing the guy even less than I expect at this point.
