GDT: game 60 - Mavs (34-25) at Celt (46-12) 6:30

I didn?t watch, but 5 min for Gafford? 20 for Maxi? Seriously Kidd GTFOH.

The ceiling will always be cut short with Kidd.

I get the Kleber/ PJ minutes and it should be a thing at times.

But you cannot have maxi out there with 4 fucking guards going that small. Going that damn small isn?t making any difference on those 3s out there. In theory sure. Maxi isn?t the guy for that.

Like just trade Gafford if he?s only getting 5 mpg. What?s the fn point, especially after Cuban went on Stein and said now we can have a true center for 48 minutes.

This is the crap I never understand.
Like the 07 POs when Avery went small to match the opponent.
Play to your strengths.

Did Kidd really think our wings would fair well against theirs?
Did he really think THJ/PJ/Maxi was the best way to combat Brown/Tatum/Kp?

If Gafford logs close to or over 20 minutes, Mavs win. If he is less than 15, they lose. Competition has something to do with it no doubt, but please JKidd get a brain! This is the second year in a row when the Mavs have traded away a first round pick and then bench the guy you traded for (Wood was the other). Fire the idiot!!

It cant just be Kidd. The whole fn coaching staff is either yes men or also on board with the nonsense. Bring in a more experienced coach and let him make decisions on who he keeps on.

It wont matter if we get the best coach in the world, with Kai and Luka back court we wont win it all. We will be super exciting more often than not, but you can not have perimeter defense this poor. I guess you could overcome those 2 together if you have Kawhi or Lbj at the 3
