GAME 34: LAL (13-20) @ DAL (18-16) | 124-115 win

So, what are you trying to say?  Are you trying to discount the fact that the Wood/Powell lineup worked with your opinions?

So, your opinion is that Kidd's "only option" was to try something he basically hasn't done all season?  If so, then wouldn't that have been the "only option" in all of the games Maxi has missed?  So, it wasn't his only option?  

Why so agitated?

I tried to outline why I think Wood and Powell line-up happened and why it might be very special circumstances it worked on both ends. I didn't say it didn't work or it was a bad decision. But I am not drawing any conclusions from this game against such a version of Lakers.

And no, Lakers didn't play defense in first half, imho. LeBron had zero effort on defense, he only plays offense. Mavs got a gazillion open shots and missed most of them. As I said in one of the previous posts - arguably worst basketball I have seen in NBA.
