Missed the game but see Gaff played 25 mins and Lively 23.
Did Kidd miss the game or get tossed or something?

Maxi didn't play. The guy just isn't very good. He has played better lately, but compared to the unplayable nature he has previously displayed...welp...

Maxi is fine as a spot 3rd big man who can, yes, switch better on the perimeter.

But that wasn't an issue this game and good coaches should know how to utilize their bigs to punish smaller teams.

Exactly. Maxi is just fine as a backup 4 or less and in limited minutes, but definitely good enough for a contending rotation, at least in the regular season. This team needs Maxi for depth, THJ not so much.

It's on the coaching at this point.
