Jason Kidd, C

  • He went with a Parker, Vaughn, Ennis, JOB, Plumlee lineup to start the second quarter. I like this lineup in theory because it forces Parker to be the go-to guy. He used that lineup for a stretch last week against the Heat to moderate results. This time it lasted for less than two minutes as he pulled Vaughn in favor of Plumlee. Oh well, his mind was in the right place.
  • He has a lineup conundrum coming up with the return of John Henson to the lineup. Henson gives the bench another body, which is excellent, but he also muddies up the rotation with regards to Plumlee. Plumlee is deserving of minutes–he’s earned them with his solid, consistent play. But at the same time the Bucks aren’t paying Henson 11 million a year to ride the pine. How will Kidd work this situation? Stay tuned.
