Jason Kidd’s ‘We’re fine’ Message After Mavericks’ Latest Loss

Dallas, Texas — Jason Kidd‘s message to the Dallas Mavericks after their 101-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday may have seemed reassuring, but it glossed over a troubling reality. The Mavericks, now 2-6, are tied for the worst record in the Western Conference after losing to a depleted Pelicans team.

After the game, Max Christie revealed Kidd’s main message: “stick together.” Christie noted that the team needs to improve after struggling at home. “We’ve got to do better with that, but I think for us, offensively we seem a little stagnant,” he said. “Coach Kidd’s message is just to stay together.” Christie scored 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting against the Pelicans.

The Mavericks’ situation is concerning, with fans frustrated over the team’s poor performance. They’ve lost to two of the weakest teams in the NBA this season, raising questions about the effectiveness of their roster and coaching staff. Kidd’s positive tone contrasted sharply with the growing unrest among players and fans, who are starting to lose faith.

Many insiders believe that changes may be necessary to turn the season around, especially regarding Nico Harrison‘s job security as team president. Tim MacMahon from ESPN noted, “the legitimate question right now is ‘is Nico Harrison’s job in serious jeopardy?’” As Harrison faces scrutiny, Kidd knows that it’s essential to keep the team united despite the challenges.

While Kidd remains optimistic, the reality remains that the Mavericks are struggling to find their footing early in the season. With their season hanging in the balance, it remains to be seen whether the message of togetherness will hold up as the pressure mounts.
