Mavs coaching discussion

[Mavrelous]

Pistons hire Bickerstaff which means Sweeney will be the assistant this year also.

Good addition, but too many defensive cooks on the staff and no significant offensive one...

New year same above average coach... We play a very ugly basketball.

[41Dirk41]

Look at the Cavs...

[41Dirk41]

Nico Press the button until it's too late... We are just in time for saving the season.... Get rid of this moron.

Does anyone see a scenario where Kidd is fired this season and what would that scenario be in your opinion?

[BliscoSantos]

Does Vogel have any role on the Mavs?

Unfortunately it's nearly impossible unless a big failure season and i hope not.

My opinion is pretty clear about our coach and everybody here know it, Kidd is an overrated mediocre coach...btw NBA is full of overrated mediocre coach.

However with Luka&Kyrie even the astro guy in the crowd last night can coach this team so it's ok, healthy is the most important thing right now.
Of course win a ring under Kidd is not the easy way but i think Nico has pretty clear the situation.

I think I read somewhere he is just a coaching consultant and is not with the team. How much they actually consult him - that I do not know.

2-8 in L10 ended with this masterclass L against the worse team in the west.

Every coach in the world will be fired after tonight game. Every coach in the world.

Problem is, when Luka is playing they will never play that bad so he could be fired, but when Luka is out his excuse are injuries.

Do the Mavs new owners have sports betting in their casinos? Because the string of losses feel a bit too convenient. Albeit without Luka and Kyrie.

Don't understimed Kidd, he will remember in history as the only coach who missed POs with Doncic&Kyrie in the same roster.
That year should have opened everyone's eyes.

You are overthinking this. You are seeking reasons and explanations for this bad strech outside the team while you have Kidd literally just standing there to point at.

[41Dirk41]

I want to ask for a bet.

We are 2-8 in L10 , how bad can we go next games?
I think in the next 10/12 games we have maybe 2/3 winnable games.
If the record will go like 5-20 or something like that, will Nico support Kidd yet?
Seriously, will Kidd finish the year whatever happens?

I think the main issue is not having a pure PG to lead this team. This roster (sans Kyrie and Luka) is built for a pure point guard. Someone who can push the ball and get others involved. In a way, its built perfect for someone like Jason Kidd/Lonzo Ball/etc to run the offense. I think if we had a Lonzo Ball level backup who could come in and run the offense - we would be at least .500 or better.

Overall, there are things I like and dislike about Kidd. He's not going anywhere this year. I do think he's getting closer to the hot seat. However, we have to address our roster issues. I do not think you blame Kidd when its clear these guys do not have a pure point guard out there for a bunch of shooters and finishers, basically. 70% blame on personnel. 30% blame on Kidd. I think Kidd can use players better/motivate/team should be more discipline.

Could be. Who knows.

Every year we miss something, so Nico is a bum. Right?

Oh well, did you enjoy watching Luka less Mavs?
They play a great basketball, everybody pass the ball.
Everybody are involved.
Now we are a real contender.

Boston is clearly afraid from new Mavs

The Luka and Kyrie less Mavs are good for about 2-3 quarters every game. If this team had a legit pure point guard - they would win a lot of these games. So, yes, I do enjoy watching them without Luka and Kyrie for about 2-3 quarters but then the mistakes and LOW IQ possessions add up...That's where having that pure point guard to keep them on track makes the difference. That's why I do believe most of the losing is due to roster build and how we play. Could Kidd change that up a little bit better -probably and that falls in that 30% of blame I put on him.

As for every year we're missing something? Well, I think since this team (I mean Mark Cuban, lets be honest) didn't resign Brunson they have been filling holes ever since. Deep down, I think Mark didn't like how much Brunson needed the ball next to someone ball dominate like Luka...and that probably played into why he let him go. Hence, you get Kyrie - he has the ability to play off the ball a lot better. Our front court was young and not very deep. We made a bad decision on Williams and we corrected it with PJ and Gafford.

We're probably a player and a year away from being able to win it all. I think we need another guy (not named Kyrie and Luka) that provides toughness, leadership, defense, and scoring. I think if we had Sakiam over PJ Washington we would have a legit big 3 and be championship contenders right now. Washington has not been able to take that next step and is still in that good role player position. Which is fine. I think we have to improve our SF position next year, (maybe sit Klay as 6th man), invest in a pure point guard that can backup Luka if he gets hurt and run the team.

If we can do some of these things this year, i'm fine with that too.

Oh well, you enjoyed watching 50% to 75% minutes of last games... I can understand that you have to defend your position but you have to be honest to yourself, we don't play good basketball lately.
We don't have a real PG but give green light to SD every possession is on Kidd.
I can't believe that SD can't play a simply pick&roll or another basic play. Even a kid in high school can do it.
For the entire 4th quarter Kidd doesn't call a play, he just watched the game and made (bad) rotations.
Rewatch the game. Try.
We are beyond bad coaching, we are no coached team. But it's normal because with Luka and Kyrie you don't need a coach. So even a cow can stay on the bench.

This team is good enough for contending,maybe not for win this year but we are talking about a L against the Pels without Zion, Ingram and Jones.
This is the point. I don't think you understand it.
Those games are indicators of the coach's ability.
