Despite the fact that Kidd's shooting is quite concerning and his age could be a factor down the road as well, I'm just not willing to call him done after what's been happening since late December. Until then and with Kidd, we were good enough to kick any team's ass, sometimes even twice, Miami included. Now, only three weeks later, we're all of a sudden done because Kidd's done?
If this were to continue with Chandler, Dirk, Roddy and Caron's replacement in the lineup at a 100%, I would be as uneasy as anyone. Not now. The last couple of weeks were so unfortunate that it's impossible to draw any wise conclusions based on it. Except for two of them: 1) Caron's contract has to be used to bring in another forward; 2) Roddy better play an important role on offense.
