O-Rating was a team low 100 when Reggie was in the game. Net rating was also team worst -21.6. I'm not sure two-big is necessarily about the bigs. It may be that without DFS and Green and with Reggie playing so poorly, Kidd has to do something.
New York played a lot of 2 big lineups as well. Seems like Kidd was trying to avoid getting crushed on the boards any worse than they already were. No point in having Reggie out there against Robinson/Randle if he's not hitting shots.
