Mavs’ Jason Kidd Speaks After Win vs. Blazers: Jan. 5, 2024

All right go ahead guys you take away from this good win good win um a lot of bodies out uh next man mentality I thought Hardy was great um Kai got us off to a really good start there um kind of like what happened in

The last game um so I thought Kai picked up right where he left off but I thought you know as a group everybody played hard Josh um those start that D Jones didn’t have to play you know 30 plus minutes tonight but again um everyone who participated played at a high level

And uh got us a team win what’s hard done to approve from some minor struggles the other earlier the year yeah I think just being patient um also we all in this room believe that you know he can play at a high level but also he has some guys in front of him

You know when H is playing 40 minutes a night um and Kai and other guys are playing you know big minutes um I think hard’s been patient and uh again he’s shown that in the last couple games here uh with the minutes and so um he was

Really good tonight oh what did you see have a bench like AJ and of course Tim yeah uh Tim has been Tim uh coming off the bench we kept him in his role tonight um but I thought the bench was was big um when you look at what what

Timmy and Curry done but AJ UMX and brown and Brandon all those guys who played uh Again Play the right way um you know and so it showed um again a great team win to be able to play like that without Luca and Di and the the

Rest of the people who are Grant there’s a list long list but those you get my point about the injuries but it’s been like that all season and uh next man mentality and the guys have been ready I think that’s a big thing guys have been

Ready to play Party nine assists I think what do you say been in that facilitator role kind of yeah I think uh off the ball and he he gets on the ball his ability to score but then his ability to to find guys and he was at a high level

This evening and again um each time he’s taking the floor he’s gotten better anything else thank you
