I?m old enough to remember when Kidd refused to start Porzingis at center, because he wanted another big on the floor.

Pretty sure KP was the one against playing at the 5...may be mistaken, but I don't recall it being a Kidd decision and the KP playing the 5 debate was born when Carlisle was still the coach.

KP wanted to play the 5. Carlisle figured out halfway through his last season that KP should play the 5. Kidd moved him back to the 4 to start the next season. You can confirm this by looking at game logs, but I remember the articles and post game comments coming out at the times.

KP never wanted to play the five. He said multiple times he was a natural 4 and was trying to learn the 5 because it?s what coach wanted. With him at the 4 and Powell at the 5, we were just getting wrecked defensively so Rick had to adjust.

The rest could be true but the idea that KP wanted to play the five is mularkey.

Not, in fact, malarkey.

?When I?m at the (power forward position) I only have the option to pop, and when I?m at the (center position) I can pick-and-pop and roll,? the fourth-year veteran said. ?So I can mix it up and just be more involved.?

Not even watching this shit anymore unless they make the playoffs.

At least in the playoffs Luka and Kyrie won't sit out games and the rotations will shorter.

This shit right now is like preseason lineups
