Mavs’ Jason Kidd Speaks After Loss vs. Cavs: Dec. 27, 2023

Yeah I think the you know we got good looks we just didn’t make them you know we had really good looks um Luca had looks uh Curry had looks um I mean everybody had good looks they just didn’t go down for us and then I think you know you look at

Our defense you know we I think again we have to we talked about before the game got to rebound the ball um you look at Allen he’s going to come you know nine offensive rebounds uh you know that just will put you in Harm’s Way and give them

Credit they played hard and um and they were a better team what was going right for you guys yeah you look at what Luca was doing you know he was he was getting to the basket he was making you know his three um and I think again uh give them

Credit they they kind of like took everybody else away let him score and uh and so with that being said you know we we we got to be able to knock down shots but we got to get stops um and again at the end we just didn’t we didn’t get a

Good look the look that we wanted we got to be better late game get out had yeah he was great he was great from when he checked in um he he got us going uh from the three-point line he was pretty much the one that was making the threes

Tonight uh he made five of them I think so just looking at um you know when his name was called he was ready and uh looking at you know again in that fourth quarter for us to only score 20 points um you know we’re better than that what

Was supposed to happen on that final yeah we just missed the screen um for Luca and um you know that’s just it happens uh and we got to be better at it Mission night um what are the lessons live you can learn from this a lot a lot

From first play of the game gotta be ready um everybody can talk about how well you’re playing but you know you got to understand who you’re playing against and the first play of game they went to Allen and he he got a foul and so um just to understand that you know Allen’s

An Allstar and he plays at a high level and this you know this is a game that he can learn from

  1. Had Kidd ever said “I should have (done this different)”? All I hear him say during losses is “we got good looks, we just didn’t make them tonight.” Part of leading a team is pointing at what you could have done better (even when you don’t think it’s your fault) and especially when there’s plenty of things you could have done better. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him do that.. not once..
