The game plan to shut Luka down would be effective against any other of our guards since they'd be trying to replicate his performance through the system in the playoffs. Jazz are going to prepare as if Luka is there because there is no disadvantage in doing it.
If this is a Kidd mind game then he has a single digit IQ.
There is a significant advantage
The Jazz now have to prepare for Luka AND a game that would feature different starters and a much different rotation pattern. Those 36-40 minutes that Luka would normally get have to go to other players. And the Mavs would have different priorities about who is getting shots and when.
Even if the Jazz only waste a couple of hours on it, it is an advantage
