[MacMahon] A @StatsWilliams special: There have been three rookies with at least 10 points and 15 rebounds in elimination wins since 1980. Magic Johnson, David Robinson, Dereck Lively II

Someone on r/Mavericks pointed out, and I can't believe nobody else has noticed this yet- Jason Kidd is now the first coach in Mavericks history to reach the Western Conference Finals twice.

It might be an unpopular opinion but Kidd has won the coaching battle in the last two series. He forced both teams to play a style that favored the Mavs.

Yeah Nico finally gave the Mavs some strengths and Kidd maximized it.
We're back in the WCF which is great, but when you look at how Luka and Kyrie are underperforming, it's clear that Kidd has done something special.

Yep I mentioned this a few days ago
The problem.is kidd is not well liked here so no one has bothered to praise him for such a feat.
Most fans wanted him fired and probably still do 😂
But Kidd is a solid coach imo and he tends to relate to players much better than Rick ever did

Yet everyone on the TNT broadcasts keeps saying Luka can't play D.
Neither could Dirk or Jason Terry. But they got rings.

Took me 3 hours, but I got tickets for game 3. Ticketmaster is the worst.
