Luka absolutely deserves this one, but Dinwiddie stepped up like crazy this game with his timely shots.
I will say, Kidd is playing with fire regarding Wood. How much longer will Wood play the good soldier and not cause locker room turmoil? I'd understand Kidd's POV if Wood was playing terribly, but he isn't. He's shown to be the 2nd best offensive player on this team by a wide margin. He is a prolific scorer that has pretty good starting chemistry with Luka. That's not so easy to find.
Sure Wood missed a couple of defensive assignments tonight, but not any more than THJ, Dinwiddie, or even Bullock. Hell Powell let a blow by occur that led to an open dunk, yet only Wood seems to get penalized with a minutes reduction.
It's frustrating and nonsensical.
