Mavs head coach Jason Kidd on the Mavs fouling too much:
“We gotta be better. We’re out here hacking. There’s smart fouls and there’s bad fouls and we have a ton of bad fouls. It’s all coachable. It’s all fixable. It’s not the referees. It’s us. We gotta be better.”

Grade Klay’s start to his Mavs tenure! A, B, C, D or F
Klay has had opportunities but is passing more . His defense has been pretty good . The mavs are luka centric he runs the offense its up to him to get klay the ball
Luka and others didn't pass many balls to Klay last night. Luka should be passing a lot more, he's going back to his old ball hugging, not good. Last night Orlando was a half team only, Mavs won’t beat OKC or Boston, not even the Cavaliers or Nicks that way.
There's absolutely no reason to panic with Klay. Klay impact has been great. He's playing good defense, he's playmaking, and the sheer gravity he has is helping opening up the court.
2 thing.
I don't think it's a flow thing but I think Kidd just hasn't figured out the offense and we have 2 awesome bigs that we're being fed a lot so with the 3rd scoring option is going to be either Klay or the bigs. And last night the Mavs big were the 3rd scoring option which isn't bad at all
What is this click bait bs. It’s been 6 games, stfu
I know it’s early, but Luka is showing his old tendencies. I think him moving the ball more, and moving without the ball will help this Mavs team grow. And he needs to stop complaining and focus on controlling what he can control… needs to work on it now and not in the playoffs.
What are we panicking for ??? Yea he sold my 1.5 3s in a half parlay but come on now Klay has been fine and his defense has been good too.
Why do you guys have to use such stupid headlines? We are 6 games into the season. My goodness, chill out and stop trying to start something. You cannot give the Mavs a grade at this point, but I am happy to give you an F- for such foolishness. zthis is the kind of crappy reporting tha makes me not watch your podcast more than once a month.
Klay shoot to many 3s and be missing it
Klay has been an A. Before the season people were talking about his defense like he was going to be completely washed on D and we would regret not having DJJ out there. Instead he has looked quite good on defense so far which is far above expectations. Very happy with his play and he fits right in on offense.
I’m not worried about Klay the season literally just started let them all gel
B-
Klay has been an absolute steal IMO he's only going to get better
Klay is shooting 43/37/100 splits so far, and he's making smart passes. He's doing EXACTLY what he was brought in to do.
Im not worried, because teams aren't doubling Luka as much as they used to, could be because it's early in the season and Luka is having shooting woes but I see klay getting open opportunities as the season goes. Teams rather go 1v1 on Luka get his points then double him and leave klay open.
Kai and Luka are not blitzed and doubled as much when Klay is there lol Why should we panic? lol
Once Preseason Luka gets on the groove and started making shots, teams will double him and Klay gets open when that happens… The only reason Klay don't get too many attempts as much coz Luka is not hitting shots to the point where teams won't double him.. Klay is fine
No he’s keeping th court open they are guarding him more leaving gafferd and lively also uncle drew open
No reason to panic. Jason doesn’t play him & he frequently looks unhappy
Preseason the chat was that Klay would score 20/game. Don't know how he'll get there with Luka and Kai scoring 60/game. 14.5/game is fine. 37% from 3 is fine also. If the Mavs focus on his shot more he'll raise those numbers.
Their is nothing wrong with Klay you guys s delusional as heck
