Kidd has a lot to learn from this gamefilm…and that’s fine. It wasn’t just Luka missing a few shots…he couldn’t get by Royce freaking O’Neale at all…his passes out of doubles were lazy and no zip (think one got swiped and a couple more deflected in 4th quarter).
They almost lost that game because Kidd rode Luka too damned hard. We learned JB can handle things adequately without Luka. There was an opportunity in the 4th to either sit Luka for a couple minutes or at least run offense through JB here and there.
Luka expended a ton of effort defending in the post and fighting for rebounds. The trade off was non-existent perimeter defense and a dead leg Luka trying to finish off a close out game.
