Do the Mavs need to move the ball more ...yes they do
Do they need some sort of game plan/system...yes they do
Do they have a coach who has a system...NO they don't
They don't even have a coach....J Kidd is just there watching the games from the best seats in the arena...he's not the savior... he's just watching .. it's not end of life if they lose ...those were his words, weren't they??
Apart from Luka and Kai,this team would benefit greatly with some set plays...something they could run,see if its working,if it gets other Players going,and if not you can always let Luka and Kai cook...the team isn't as bad as it looks and it's looking more and more like the coach is out of his depth...J Kidd was an amazing player, but let's face it,he sucks as a Head coach
He always finds new excuses,blames others... it's getting old...it's the coaches job to calm his team down,to tell them what to do when thing don't go their way...he was bailed out a lot by Luka's and Kai 's brilliance...he was begging for a backup C and a PF and now he's playing Gafford 6 minutes....because he didn't Play good against IND and because he wasn't spectacular against CLE...why does he have such a short leash ,yet Timmy and Hardaway can play thru some bad decisions(he gives them a chance to improve)
he was suppose to be a players coach,yet he never has their backs...Rick was an a-hole to some Players in practice(DSJ) ,yet when the refs made a bad call,stood up for his players...Kidd is Just watching,calmly ,like he's on some meds, never getting T'd up to stand up for his team...i'm sure the Players would apreciate that more than kissing ass
There's always this criticism that Luka can't play in a system,Just because Mavs didn't have one...they made him the system when the team was terrible...Luka knows how to play in a system...he played one in Real...yes he was Younger, but put him on Real again and they would still run it...Slovenia is still running plays...they aren't Just winging it..sure they do wing it when he's on fire,but otherwise there's moving,screens,passing, and it would be the same if he was in Real... but it's not like that in Mavs cause Kidd lets the Players figure it out for themselves...well not everybody is Luka and Kai....they don't all have that BB IQ, the knowledge to anticipate,predict certain moves....most Players need structure,a system, a real coach...and Kidd Just ain't one
