Kidd is one of the few coaches I just can never understand. There feels like there is zero structure or system in place. No set goal. No real coaching. Just over reliance on two of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen to create everything and anything.
Case in point, here is a video: https://v.redd.it/5yme0bpwa8ee1
3 mins long and showcases the last 3 games, just how many times Klay has been flat out ignored in the offense. He is legit one of the greatest shooters of all time and we have Dinwiddie electing to take it 1 on 3 for a prayer versus passing it to the corner. Why is PJ getting the pass for the 3 versus Klay? And once in a while if understand, but the entire year Kidd has failed to truly integrate Klay in the offense and truly use his gravity.
It feels like only Luka can find Klay consistently, and that’s just because he’s an otherworldly passer. Which tells me Kidds offense has no structure. Guys don’t know where guys will be, unless you create your own looks, like Luka.
It’s horrible. It infuriates me, because that’s how this team loses games against the Hornets (why Kidd allowed this team to continue chucking 3s without touching the paint the entire game is beyond me), Pelicans (Dinwiddie Hero Ball), and Blazers.
A better coach would have this team close to the top of the standings. And yet, for whatever reason, Kidd finds a way in the playoffs. Jekyll and Hyde. Infuriating man.
