Abso-freaking-lutely.
Kidd's most influential coaching move, so far, was to make Giannis Milwaukee's point guard, a move I think started them on a dead-end path (Holiday and Middleton are handling the ball more this season, and that's improving things).
The Mavs have been a pick-and-roll team for so long most of us can't imagine them playing any other way. They will probably continue to be that way, to an extent, because it's currently the most popular play style in the league. But, I'm not sure we can make any assumptions just yet.
