The Mavericks turned around a nine-point
deficit during the second half with the duo of Luka Doncic and
Kyrie Irving playing crucial roles in the 121-115 win, both
scoring 41 and 27 points respectively.
"I think maybe some things that you guys thought should have
happened from day one, is that they should be successful right
off the bat. But it takes time," said Kidd, who is in his third
season with Dallas, said.
"It's not a bad thing to fail for an athlete, because you can
get better and learn from it. And those two (Doncic and Irving)
are the best in the world. And we feel very comfortable when
those two have the ball.
"Sometimes it goes in, sometimes it doesn't. But we learn from
it... They're one of the best, if not the best in crunch time."
Kidd called out the media for the lack of coverage on the
Mavericks' success this season, as they sit third in the Western
Conference with 11 wins, compared to their struggles last
campaign when they finished 11th.
"You guys wanted to make a big deal about last year, but you're
not making a big deal about it this year because shit's going
good, right? So write some positive shit," he said.
"You know it is all right to write positive stuff. Some people
will read your positive shit. You don't always have to be
negative, right? The world is already negative enough, right?
"So let's see some positive stuff on some positive people that
are playing, doing their job on a nightly basis."
