That was about as ugly a first 3 quarters of basketball played by both teams as I’ve seen in a while. Kidd rolls out the Caleb Martin, “pointless” lineup for the first 5 minutes of each half as well. I think we had 10 of our turnovers during that stretch. Is JK rewarding Martin for playing hard? I hope any shine that Martin has rubbed off after tonight’s stat line. Yes he hustled a bit on defense, but we play 4 on 5 on the offensive end when he’s out there. On a positive note, I like what I see out of Christie. He’s playing with more confidence, and he’s starting to hunt his shot. There was a moment in the second half where the Christie had the ball on a semi fast break at the top of the circle, and Klay was waving for him to pass the ball off to his right. Max looked him off and drained the 3. I thought that was a pretty cool moment for him.
