ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[Kammrath]

Over three games the evidence of ‘can’ is starting to look good.  But it appears to me it isn’t Wood just being better at what he was doing.  It is Wood being allowed to do something different.  It didn’t look very impactful in two to three minute stints as subs came in and out.  But, these elongated runs without Maxi are showing me “can” may actually be true.

Because you don't know if he "can" unless you actually try. And that has been my great frustration with Kidd and Wood. Kidd has looked convinced that Wood "cannot" do "X" and it has been a self-fulfilling prophecy until injuries forced Kidd to do what he did not want to do.
