Is Kidd out of gas?

[Popeye]

I don't think he's mailing it in, or he's necessarily out of gas. He's just a pretty limited player at this point and he's not going to be effective playing with a bunch of offensively challenged players. It's not like he's ever been able to break down a defense or create his own shot, at least not in the past 3 years. So he'll probably look better once Roddy and Dirk are back and at full speed.

Or he could be completely done. I dunno. He is 37.

You lose your top 2 players, the guys left standing are not going to be 500 in this league. Take Duncan and Manu from the Spurs, take Lebron and Wade from the Heat, take Durant and Westbrook from the Thunder, Pau and Kobe from the Lakers. I don't think any of those teams in that group would be better than 2-7. After that first Spurs game, Kidd realized they don't have a hell's chance in winning, I think he shut it down. Hopefully he can turn it back on. I think RC has to start limiting Kidd's minutes going forward. Brass needs to bring in a Caron replacement.
