Kidd is a major problem. There are others as well
The play that gets to me from last night is the one where Luka missed the layup and immediately pouted with his head down. While he was crying, Gafford was hustling. Gafford tips the rebound right to Luka and it almost hits him in the face and he never sees it
Look at all sports on a macro level. Teams take on the identity of their best player. This team had taken on the identity of Luka Doncic…….Emotions dictate how hard we play on a night to night basis. Nightly focus on the refs which: 1) takes our focus off playing winning basketball and 2) has potentially caused us to have a ref disadvantage. We give up on plays. We give up on defense and switches. We don’t hustle back after plays(lots of jogging back last night). No sense of team pride. We do not share on offense
Who cares how many triple doubles if they’re losses? Yes, Kidd is responsible for letting this happen. Coaches can influence team identity. But this team as a whole looks a whole lot like Luka on a night to night basis. An attitude change would go a long way
Maybe Dumont can come in and shake some things up? Kidd, THJ, Cuban all need to go. We need a culture change somehow
