Jkidd trying so hard to sound smart again. Cmon dude, you are not lol.
DL-77
Like Powell and Maxi werent getting cooked on D anyways lol, and Lively looked fine on defense the minutes he played.
Kidd just dosent like to play rookies and thats it. Hardy is still in the doghouse not even seeing a minute.
coolcarl3
in other words Jason Kidd is stubborn
YoStepWithLuka77
We are in for a long season bois lol

The dumbest thing is when people judge defense by reputation rather than actual tape and it’s mind boggling that the head coach is doing that with his own players lol. Maxi and Dwight are both awful on defense. How do you have an awful defense year after year with these guys and not realize that? It’s the same bs that leads to him putting DJJ on the floor at the start of the game. Oh, he’s an athlete, he must be good at defense. Like bruh grow up and be a coach. Dude is straight dumb asl

I’m not crazy am I, Lively was NOT getting cooked in the minutes he was playing right?

>Maxi has been one of our defensive guys
I don’t really know what to say about JKidd anymore. This is just who he is. He’ll definitely cost us wins and every game will be a battle to the last minute like the first 2 games. It’s plain to see, Maxi and Dwight are not better than Lively but they’ll continue to get minutes over him because they’re JKidd’s guys. Kiss your sanity goodbye
Jintogotdemhands
He overthinks it, like in theory this makes sense. However let Lively experience this. We know what DP and Maxi bring. Also Maxi looks a step slower, I rather our rookie guard their wings and Lively was great against Mikal Bridges.

Kidd said he’s watching but he not even doing that lol. Lively was still better than Maxi in like every way lol.
Powell I understand, but Maxi has been atrocious defensively. When it wasn’t working he should have just subbed.
RHMavs
I want to see more Lively minutes just like everyone else but Dwight was really good tonight. What Kidd said makes total sense to me.
ShiftySneakThief
There is really no other way to put it: that is absolute horseshit.
MSHinerb
Only way to know if he can do it is to see if he can do it. Smartest guy in the room.
YoStepWithLuka77
Maxi is just fine playing the 4. He should not be touching the 5 but Jason Kidd is gonna get maxi injured at some point if he continues to make these bone headed lineups
Axisofcoolio
This motherfucker overthinks for no fucking reason. Tries to galaxy brain when actually he comes out looking like a clueless fucking moron. Lively was not getting cooked in his minutes out there, the defense actually was better in the first half. How Tim didn’t get an earful for his shot selection yet is one of the mysteries in the world right now.
LogicisGone
JKidd might be the only coach in the league worried about how to defend Ben Simmons lol.
crassina
maxi was getting cooked on his closeouts tonight, or was i seeing things? he was committing too much on the closeout and getting blown by quite a bit
iosef78
What I want to know is why didn’t he challenge the Powell foul/block and instead challenged that stupid out of bounds with 4 seconds left?
HispanicAtTehDisco
i like how bro literally explains his line of reasoning, it worked and you guys are still like “uhm acktually i know better” like holy fuck i get it but clearly it fucking worked
StefonDiggsHS
I just disagree, Lively was doing really well against the smaller lineup and we just looked so unorganized without him that 2nd half
HolyAty
Most logically Kidd coaching.
Just fire his ass. He’s not a real a real basketball coach.
This idiot has been bailed out by Luka way too many times.

Jason Kidd finally did it. I’m not a delusional Maxi Kleber fan anymore. I’m cured!
But seriously it’s clear Dereck Lively is the best center on the team. I see no reason to not be playing him if he’s not doing bad or in foul trouble.
Also Jason Kidd has to go. He’s not a winning basketball coach. He gets in his own head, gets distracted by certain players.
mavericksnipe
Powell and Maxi were getting cooked by Simmons. Simmons! Lively would have done a better job, and he was
brehaw
I can’t even hold the same disdain for Kidd as most Mavs fans do because I am also a Raiders fan, and compared to Josh McDaniels, literally any other coach of any other sport looks like a genius and straight up blessing lmao
Incorrect1012
This literally is a fine choice to make, the fuck are yall smoking in here?
RyceMenace
Its game 2. He hasnt seen it a lot but this is a good time for him to experience it I feel like. The team still won I guess.
xPeaWhyTee
> Looking at DP, he’s done a pretty good job of guarding Simmons
We really game planned for Ben as if he’s Steph 😩😆
> and understanding Lively hasn’t seen that a lot here in this league
So is Kidd’s logic that Lively will magically soak up the experience by sitting on the bench? How about putting him out there and letting him get the reps so he can learn?
ladditude
I can understand not wanting to run Lively, but I don’t understand why the answer wasn’t Grant and Maxi. I love Dwight, but he hasn’t been the same since the injury and he was limited before that. I’d rather give Lively the experience now against a mid team.
cjklert05
Kidd is sus bro
desirox
Mavs are in a huge conundrum. Players really love and respect Kidd but he is so clearly holding this team back, he really should be in the hot seat by Christmas
ChristBKK
I really hope we don’t critique Kidd now all the time because he doesn’t play all the time lively … we always complain that Kidd is a bad coach but now he makes decisions which the sub maybe doesn’t like and win games ? Powell gives us quality minutes from the bench I take that
YungChumpagne
Typical Jason Kidd, thinks he’s cooking but in turn he’s cooking his chances of coming back as a coach next season if he keeps this stupidity up
Avalarz
Wtf is this reasoning. We need him to learn

I hate that we always “adapt to what the other team is doing bullshit”, let’s build our own identity that isn’t just “Luka go do winning please”
