ORLANDO -- Jason Kidd played just over 33 minutes Tuesday night against
Orlando. On Monday, he put in more than 38 minutes worth of duty at Miami.
That is the sort of back-to-back playing time that he hasn’t had very often
this season. But because of sensible playing time up to now, it means Kidd is
capable of putting in bigger minutes with less of a fatigue factor on
occasion.
For the year, he continues to average less than 33 minutes per game, a huge
improvement on the 36 minutes he averaged last season.
The reduced minutes, made possible because J.J. Barea has done a solid job
running the team for longer stretches, are going to serve Kidd well down the
line. And in tough matches like the last two games, it allows Kidd to air out
his court time to whatever is needed, knowing that it’s not going to happen
every night.
Having a fluky five-day break after the Orlando game doesn’t hurt, either.
And there is no way the Mavericks are going to make Kidd play any obscenely
high minutes during the regular season.
“In the big picture, we know there’s going to be an occasional 37 or 38
minute night,’’ coach Rick Carlisle said. “We’re always keeping these
things in our mind and I don’t see any scenario where on a consistent basis
we’ll be running his minutes up high.’’
That’s the wise course of action. And because of that strategy, it’s OK to
blow out Kidd’s minutes when the need is really there.
