First
Cuban, where di you find that Kidd. The task of a team with 20 points lead is not to hold the lead but to extend the lead, otherwise your guys are not scoring anymore and we all suffer as we have suffered tonight. It' nice for MAVS to have a loyal fans but you might be covering our costs for psyho clinic sometimes.
Great defensive effort tonight coach!
Stop fucking taking out Irving when hes hot man stop taking him out the game at 6min mark u let other teams get back in danm game every danm time same with bucks game
3 guard lineup sucks broooooooooooooo. also trade that kangaroo
Please stop limit Kyrie possessions in 4th quarter . We wanna win clutch games and we wanna see Kyrie having ball at least same amount as Luka.
4th quarter is his time
Kidd, Powell and THJ…bad news, that is enough!
Unteachables!
if lively is out i would try a "smaller" lineup instead of dwight…
ask kid how can you loose 20 points lead
Did he really say why would we be upset? Ok bro.
How do you consistently sit Kyrie while he’s hot? Sit there and let the lead dwindle. That’s not coaching.
Luka held the ball for 10 minutes without scoring that's why their lead dwindle. And they still use worthless dwight powell where lakers freely scored in the paint. if not for holmes defense/ rebounding and kyrie clutch 3 pts shot , steal on reeves and free throws the lakers could have snatch the win
Too much trust on luka almost made mavs lost lucky you have holmes and clutch kyrie to save the mavs for humiliating lost
probably the worst coach the mavs had
Despite many (other people's) criticisms of coach Kidd, I just have to give him lots of credit for making the (bold but) right decision to play R. Holmes more after Lively's injury as he probably saw that Powell is not quite having a great night… Holmes played great tonight, helped a lot with defense, boards, and screens (Luka blowing him kisses was … cutesy LOL)… Great eye coach K! Cheers from Slovenia!
It’s hilarious how he mentioned the toughness carried over from practice with Holmes. Nah he’s been tough Kidd’s love affair with Powell just got in the way
Jason Kidd, resort back to the 21-22 playbook you gave this team. If not, just leave this team cause you’ve already proven you’ve missed a whole postseason due to your ineptitude and incompetence. YOU ARE A FRAUD
Kidd is historic in the NBA… Top of the line when it comes to Coaches,,, name me a NBA player who retires and go straight to coaching,, can't say enough,, mark gotta get this rt and bring my guy Kyrie a chip,, make the deal
Luka playing song from his phone in the back? I hear screamings, but, can't hear the song. 😂
How come he didn't watch Lively fall if he is "not playing, just watching, just like you guys"? 🤔🤔
