Game 51: Dallas Mavericks (19-30) vs Boston Celtics (31-18) | 7pm CST

[Chicagojk]

Nembhard is not getting the minutes now, but it doesn't seem as much about the opponent as it does Kidd keeping him on the bench and letting Flagg do a little more at that position. It's hard to know, but when you look at Nembhard's stats for the game, they'd look decent if he played 30 mins. He had one TO and 3 assists, Made 1 of 2  3 pointers.

I don't think he should be playing that much, but it's hard to know what Kidd has in mind.

there is no doubt Kidd is forcing Flagg minutes as the main guy.  He has been very good and is improving at such a fast speed.   I think Nemby with Flagg and shooters is when the offense looks best.  Although Nemby can be a crutch for Flagg.  I have little doubt Flagg is going to be our #1 creator soon..maybe very soon.  I think he will work best with another good creator though.   Kidd is just trying to expedite the process.
