Maxi never would have put the ball on the floor like that under RC.

Totally.

Earlier, when I was talking about Kidd, I didn’t mean that I thought they were emerging as contenders, exactly.

It’s just that it was obvious early on this season that his plan for the absence of playmaking was to make everyone on the floor a playmaker, rather than to wait until others could be acquired. I thought this strategy was bananas at first, because it made the team really hard to watch and was extremely ineffective. Lately, Kleber, DFS, Hardaway and others have all shown that they are getting more comfortable doing a wider variety of things on the offensive end. I’m starting to appreciate that aspect of the job Kidd and staff have done this year.

I have seen more pick and roll between Porzingis and Doncic tonight than I have during the last two years cumulatively, I think.

Please, please, please keep playing him at center!
