One thing that I think has gone unnoticed is Kidd made every game doing the regular season feel like it mattered.
He played most of his rotation big minutes down the stretch of the season which i think conditioned their legs for the playoffs.
I think that was a very subtle decision he made that sort of flew of the radar. He made them fight through fatigue in preparation of the playoffs possibly knowing this team wasn't deep so they needed their top 5-6 guys capable of playing big time minutes.
