100%disagree
Had kidd played the correct lineup of Mcgee, wood, Green, Luka and kyrie as starters or closers this team would have been in the playoffs
The decisions he made to playing time even after the trade now makes even more sense that they deliberately trying to lose games which explains why he refused to use timeouts or call plays late in games. Instead just allowing Luka to repeatedly launch up bad step back 3's in every close game outcome
I see no reason why that lineup couldn't have competed with the likes of Denver, Memphis or Sacramento in a 1st round series
Hell even after watching the play in tournament games imo the mavs could have beaten any of those teams
Nothing we can do about it now but with west so wide-open I feel like they essentially waisted a year with Luka and kyrie do to poor FO decisions
