Re: RS 24/25 - Mavs @ Suns (Sat, 10:00 PM EST)
Another frustrating game, it's gonna be a Long and possibly frustrating regular season....I know it's Just the second game but Kidd doesn't seem like a regular season coach...Players are still trying to find their game...there's still no O concept whatsoever,Just lots of one on one(guys taking turns on O),pick'n roll...the O is too predictable and when the shot doesn't fall the team is easy to beat...the officiating wasn't good but you have to fight against that...the team looked without energy,ideas,will to win...I really miss a good O coordinator on the coaching staff,someone who's gonna write plays for some easy baskets

Kidd is the new Doc Rivers.

Mavs shot below 40% from the field. It's ok guys, calm down
.. Just one of those typical game 1 Mavs games.

We can't fight for a PO spot until may like last year, Phoenix is a mediocre team. That was an easy W.

Didnt get to see much of 2bd galf due issues at work. But what i saw i had this feeling all the way that the refs just wanted suns to win their homeopener. So many soft fouls and u could see mavs players really getting upset. 80 games to go tho

OMG Kidd, you are still the same stupid moron.
Marshall is trash, i hope it's just because he needs time. But he can't do anything.
Hardy is ready to trade.
PJ still can't shoot. That's a big problem.
Bad game at all, Klay missed some easy shots but he is a great upgrade. No doubt.
Booker is a pussy and KD an old ass, lose against them is a shame but with Kidd everything is possible.
Is that your assessment of their entire season?

But yes Kidd is an average coach every season

Just wondering if you’ve written them off already. You clearly hate the team.

can't i criticize players when they play badly?
you clearly miss the point every single season, you are just a fanboy. But we already knew it.

Not too concerned about Marshall and Grimes until about 20 games into the season.
Both of them will need to find their niche and get acclimated to their respective rolls.
If they are still playing this way after 20 games, then it will be time to start discussing trade options.

It took DJJ quite a while before he fully adapted and got comfortable. This team will only show their full potential after the all star break, it probably won't be sooner. Nico will only make tweaks if really badly needed like in Grant's case.

Is calling me a fan of the Mavs intended to be an insult? I just don’t understand why you follow a team you clearly hate? You know that you don’t HAVE to talk about them right? No one is making you.

DJJ succeeded because he was elite in one thing. Looking at Naji, it's difficult to find something he's really good at. His driving is for sure not that, he should minimise it. His shooting looks awful at the moment too. We can hope but he scares me to be honest.

I was just curious why you would follow owns team that you clearly hate. Just seems weird to me.
