Part 3/7:
Coach Jason Kidd now faces mounting scrutiny for decisions that seem to baffle observers. In particular, his choice to bench Klay Thompson for a significant stretch during games draws criticism, especially given his reputation as a formidable defender, even in the latter stages of his career. Replacing Thompson with players like Spencer Dinwiddie, whose defensive capabilities have come under fire, only amplifies these concerns. Many are questioning Kidd’s judgment and leadership, as the team struggles to find defensive footing while desperately needing sparks of offensive energy.
