I still think the gripes about Kidd not having a PG on the court at all times is overblown. He's only had DLO and Nembhard available, until last night when BWill posted bail. If the argument is that Kidd should have been playing DLO 48 minutes, it's unreasonable. If you think Nembhard was the difference in a win or loss, I can't get there.

I'm surprise this is your attitude for someone who likes to break down the numbers. The stat somebody posted regarding Dlo on/off is insane.  He is not even playing that well, but its a testament to how desperate this team is for creation.  I agree Dlo can't play 48 minutes and Nembhard is not a difference maker, but Dlo played 9 minutes in that Wizards game and none in the second half.  I think there is a very good chance they win that game if he gets 30+.  They had both Dlo and Williams last night and played 10 losing (-6) minutes without either on the court.  For a team struggling with all of these injuries they have no margin for error and can't afford to blow games with silly lineups.
