It was a humiliating loss for the Dallas Mavericks, as the Charlotte Hornets defeated them by a score of 118-108 on Friday night. The Mavericks’ head coach, Jason Kidd, was not thrilled with how his team performed in the game because his team was outplayed in every element of the competition, including shooting, rebounding, and defence.
After the game, Jason Kidd, who succeeded Rick Carlisle as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks after Carlisle stepped down to pursue other opportunities, spoke to the media and did not hold back. With some language that is not appropriate for work or school settings, he referred to the performance of his team as “dog sh*t” and “embarrassing.”
Jason Kidd made a frank observation on the performance, saying, “We were dog shite tonight. We didn’t play aggressively at all. There was no competition between us. We didn’t take turns dividing up the ball. Nothing that any of us did was acceptable. It was an embarrassing situation. Jason Kidd criticized the lack of effort and vigor displayed by his players, saying that they appeared to be “sleepwalking” and that they lacked self-respect and dignity in either themselves or the team.
Jason Kidd is quoted as saying, “We have to question ourselves by staring in the mirror if we want to play this game.” In that case, we ought to just remain at our house. Taking into account the fact that this is not acceptable, You shouldn’t act like this when you’re representing the Dallas Mavericks.
