Jason Kidd: Celtics PICKED ON Luka Doncic | Mavericks Postgame Interview



Jason Kidd: Celtics PICKED ON Luka Doncic | Mavericks Postgame Interview

What kind of challenges do the the Celtics present just in terms of trying to attack them defensively the way they switch it seems from Elite Defender to Elite Defender to Elite Defender yeah I think uh the way they’re built they can switch um you know that starting five they can

Switch after that it gets a little dicey um but I thought again we had some great looks we miss some bunnies tonight that we normally have made here in the past we got good looks at threes um I think we just were a little bit frustrated

With the officiating and um you know we lost our focus and we got to be better obviously a lot of the talk going into the game was the time off and the ability to practice was that you know effort wise and performance- wise was that aligned with you know the the time

Off was did that have some effect on it or you know was it nothing to do with that at all yeah I think that’s a players’s question um but as the coach I think you know coming into it we win the first quarter and we wion the fourth

Quarter we gave up a big 40-point quarter there in the second um that they missed their threes to start the game and then they start to get a rhythm um just understand we just have to be better defensively they picked on one guy the whole night and and understand

We got to protect him um and we just didn’t do that tonight you mentioned being frustrated with the officiating and losing focus how do you how can you address that in the moment I move on to the next play and we’ve talked about that over and over um and sometimes you know with

Maturity it takes time and uh we’ve been inconsistent in that department where we can get caught up with the officials instead of just staying focused on the game uh no one’s going to be perfect uh from player to official to coach so you got to just continue to keep doing your

Job and I thought we got there you know we got frustrated there and they took took advantage of that um again they they’re going to create a lot of Threes they weren’t making them early on um and then they did and that’s what a good team does they find their Rhythm and

They found and they got they started making shots but for us we had to continue to keep driving the ball putting pressure on them again we we had some great looks that we just didn’t go down and that carried over for a minute or two or three and we just can’t have

That against one if not the best team in the league when you say you should do a better job protecting Luca you know is how does that actually Bear out better Cross Match matches or more doubles or or no I think it just comes down to just

The help side you know just understand when the ball drives what your responsibility is um and and then that leads to another uh cover where someone else has to be responsible for uh helping each other and we just have to be better at that um but Boston is a

Team that puts You In Harm’s Way by driving the ball um you talk about their two guys had 38 and 35 you’re not going to be in too many ball games and we were still right there um but unfortunately when you have those two you know getting

To the free throw line and being able to shoot the three or be able to drive it’s just going to put your defense in in in a bad situation and a lot of pressure on your offense and and tonight we weren’t shooting the ball or finishing at a high clip thanks

  1. Coach Kidd, how did you feel inside when Luka got dropped like a sack of potatoes?

  2. It’s ovb Jason
    Luka barely passes the ball …..so let’s just shut him down and your done

  3. It must be so weird for Kidd, the quintessential Get The Best Out Of Everyone point guard, to have Luka and Kyrie in the back court. Just seems like the worst fit for all their relative strengths.

  4. Luka can't seriously bitch about officiating… HALF of his points come from BULLSHIT officiating, travelcarries or offensive fouls… there's a reason guys like him, Harden, Embiid, Trae, Booker, and SGA do NOTHING in the playoffs if they don't get the perfect BULLSHIT WHISTLE…
    They're soft guys whose gameplay aren't legitimate nor conducive to winning and overcoming adversity. You cannot rely on the zebras to do your job when you can't because you're tired, mopey, or a bad defender

  5. They played reverse uno on Luka..Luka usually finds a favorable matchup theb plays one on one but C’s switch to go at Luka one on one 👍🏿

  6. Rebounds, no rebounds, that is why you are losing!! How a guard is #1 on rebounds?? Also the offensive rebounds are killing you!! We need more rebounds and real help for Luka!!

  7. I’ll tell you what I watch every Celtics game and always at home a lot of the calls you think the home team gets they don’t so I definitely understand what kidd is saying . There isn’t any more home court ref give away calls most of the time there calling those for the away team now which is nuts

  8. Jesus. I used to respect Kidd. This loss has nothing to do with officiating. Mavs were outplayed. JB roasted Luka. Every coach can be frustrated with officiating, its the worse its ever been in the history of the NBA but even bringing that up as a factor is weak. Admit it KHED Celts handed your ass to you and slapped it.

  9. The refs are like that every night Celtics have had some game tying or game winning bad calls done so everyone can bitch. And btw Tatum dnt get the calls other superstars do

  10. Saying that Donçiĉ's Mavs are frustrated with officiating is redundant.
    That's a given in any game.

  11. 😂😂😂😂😂LUKA PICKS ON OLD AL HORTFORD!! What we talking about😂😂😂😂😂
