Jason Kidd, B

  • Depending on which side of the fence you stand: to tank or not to tank, to trade Monroe or not to trade Monroe, this was either a maestro’s performance that will revive a season on life support or a franchise crippling blow to the Bucks chances at a top lottery pick. Ok, things aren’t that dramatic. But one thing is for certain–win or lose the choice to bench Monroe for the sake of “shaking things up” is confusing.
  • He rightly put the ball in Khris Middleton’s hands with the game on the line. His trust in Middleton payed off as he made the right basketball play finding the much-hotter Moose on the low block. This can only reinforce the notion that Middleton is the Buck’s play maker in crunch time. Moose made the play. But Middleton made it happen by unselfishly giving up the ball. That’s called teamwork. And it’s a rare find these days.
